It's been quite a while that I've put my hands in restoration since my completing my Jeep, thanks to one of my Uncle who had this LML standing idle under the stair case for the past 2 years as he couldn't find a good mechanic and original parts. These 4 stroke bikes have nearly killed these beauties, thank god that he did not opt to sell as it is aunt's favorite ride hence the restoration story begun.

With 150 CC, Two storke,8.5 BHP Power, it was far better scooter than Baja till Bajaj Bravo came(It has really great pickup).
Even forced one of the frined to go for Select II rather than a 100CC bike, We even touched the scooter till 105Km/hr easily, we used to smoke the 100CC eco bike with Select.  , Will try to find out the any pics of the scooter.It had rectangular Headlight. These scooters were far better than Bajajs, and the best one was LML Supremo if remember correctly, with nice round head lamp, quality of color was excellent, it was a premium product. |
LML Supremo was a supreme produce from LML stable however didn't do much in AP and had to fade out from the market but as a scooter it was a much advanced and rich class machine for that period wherein scooters were considered to be just a family commuter and a common mans automotive, this scooter was made to cater people who wanted more from a normal scooter.
Supremo had all top class fiber covers on the front with embedded indicators, wide tail lamp, cute looking handle bar with long meter console along with a clock, better lighting headlamp, unique dome and front mud guard with wide mud flap, however the glove box was not that big due to its curvy shape and the door cannot be wide open. Nice comfortable seating, good pickup, smoother ride quality were the key features, Supremo though it didn't get the share of road which was assumed by LML India Ltd but still rules few hearts of LML lovers and still surviving on road.
The major issues which LML owners are facing is the original parts esp the body parts thanks that the OE supply is still on but according to me LML is renowned for its quality products, top class build quality and I wish and pray that this magnificent scooter should come back and rule the roads.
