Export model huh?

What extra features did that have? Disc brakes? Tubeless tyres?

It was in 1989. Those days For Indian Market only Super was sold by Bajaj. Later only they brought Bajaj Chetak for Indian market. Indian market Chetak was not having side indicators and we were using hand signals only. Being working in abroad I was given preference and delivered an export model Scooter. Of course the payment was in Dollors.Even those days the scooters were given on quota. After 87 only the two wheeler market trend changed with the arrival of Yamaha and Hero Honda and Kinetic Honda. The failed ones are LML bikes only.Even Jawa and bullet were doing well.
