Ok. Just some clarification. That TVS Taurus is a bunch of crap. The forum says 250cc single, whereas the pics show a in-line transverse 4 cylinder, which's at least 350cc. And the forum guys go on about out-dating the Pulsar 220 Fi, because the rear of the taurus sports a disc....sheesh..!! They overlooked the front 280mm+ twin-pot twin rotors?? And what about the big radiator up front screaming liquid-cooled...and the bigest joke of it all- twin gas-charged shocks at the rear...!
The cylinder head has stickers stamped on it that says 350cc VTI. Alas, it's a concept bike. If TVS manages to launch this at 1.3 lac (possible, looking at the RSU front forks and twin rear shocks; but I seriously doubt the 4-cylinder pattern and single seater config), then it's bye-bye Honda, Bajaj AND Yamaha. Hero Honda isn't even in the same ballpark.
The Fazer 250 has been under development since forever. So no comments there.
The Pulsar 220 FI will be launched in the first quarter of 07', so it's still some time away.
CBZ extreme will probably get a re-bored Karizma engine. So expect decent performance. It's your best bet at a good bike, if you want one now. |
