The crux of the matter is... "in the next 18 months, we have 12 new launches".
I guess this is a talk for stock market.

Out of this 12 8 will be based on 35 year old CD100 technology, 2 will be 125 and rest some 150 cc.
Indian biking scene good going

hahaha...good one,gautam!
Wonder what it looks like,if its closer to the 200cc segment..

BUSA · 7th February 2008, 23:39

There would be around 800 new bikes till HH is able to launch a 1000cc bike at this rate.

Its high time they upgrade the Karizma techinically and not by adding stickers which they claim gives better aerodynamics to the bike.
