I think the same style fork was used in the original Rajdoot 175 (doodhwala motorcycle) that were sold only in black. I think it was called Earl's fork or something like that.
You mean " RAP CROWN"??
Its mine,have to get some more parts from the previous owner.
The written letters are faded so badly that one cannot read the content from the Rc book of this Bike, hence the confusion

This is the Vicky2 moped. The successor of Vicky moped. Was launched some time in 1980 and the price was Rs 8000 then. These mopeds were around only for couple of years as those who bought them suffered as these mopeds were plagued with a lot of problems.

This was very much need into your vivid collection Powertwin, congratulations.

I guess these mopeds came in dual tone and were very unique those days when TVS and LUNA's were boom. The headlamp is stable like Stunner or Karizma now-a-days hence people used to opt of an extra light on the handle bar.

Sorry !! No marks !!
This is Not Raleigh.....btw, what is that 32???
BSA bicycles are manufactured by T I cycles ltd , Chennai
not only BSA, they manufacture Hercules Bicycles to ...

You have mixed & matched some thing which really existed ( 32 cc engine & Bicycle)
Raleigh is a different brand manufactured by " CCIL" & Senind .
Posting the stuff you are talking about, which I do have one...discussed elsewhere in this Forum!!
32cc two stroke engine by RALLIS India & Hercules Bicycle
PS: Let us not go OT.& stick to the QUIZ.....just to prove a point to rajeev k..here is the pic of the stuff he is talking about

3.) Explorer

4.) Mofa

5.) Fantabulous

6.) Crusader / Mini Bullet.

And on the similar lines of Mofa, TVS had Ecko / Echo. employing the 35cc engine. Kinetic Luna had Wings as an offering in the 35 cc category.

By the way I would not call an Explorer a step thru. Will you?
