Looks more of a Dio silhouette to me. Reason - the angle between the mudguard and tail seems to be different in the Jupiter. Also, the muffler while being similarly bulbous to the Jupiter spy pic has different lines (notice the chrome positioning on the Jupiter)

I've been wanting to give my old Karizma a rest and pick up a decent scooter for the office commute. The Suzuki access is probably the best in the segment but its looks do not appeal to me. Don't have the courage to buy a SR150 (will stick to the Japs)

Re: TVS Jupiter spied with disc brake and fuel-injection

Thanks to Satha Sivam for sharing the following observations!

Quote:
I'm not sure if this is a Honda, but definitely think it is a TVS based on their concept Graphite. These are my observations (looks the same as the concept).

1.Body Panel
2.Tail Light
3.Grabrail
4.Exhaust (although there is no exhaust in the concept, but it matches concept's engine cover closely.)

Only difference found is in the handlebar area.

Found this pic of the Graphite concept - I'm not entirely convinced that those spy pics resemble this. The Graphite has a more sleeker rear end and no bulbous exhaust.

Looks like this yellow TVS scooter in GTO's & Loki's post has a floor mounted petrol tank......interesting!
