'Nano' Bike

Hero Honda is keen to do a Tata Nano to the motorcycle market. They have been trying for a long time now but havnt yet come up with a solution for a low cost bike.
On the other hand Bajaj Auto is believed to be ready with a low-priced bike, which is being contract manufactured in China. Expected to be priced around Rs.25,000, this 125cc bike would initially be sold in overseas markets before being launched in India. Going by vendors, this bike is most likely not a step-thru moped kind of vehicle and any cost advantage to Bajaj is largely on account of sourceing extensively from China.It is rumoured to be named Steel.

:lol!: Good news hummer!
So after Tata's Nano, everyone is following nano's trend!i.e cheap cost!
ohh am now fed up of this nano nano nano!Its everywhere even on TOI theres a coloumn "Nano News"

haha. this nano is really getting over-hyped. but in these times of recession cost cutting is the way to go.

So this is going to be next revolutionary 2 wheeler after TVS 50 and TVS XL Super. But what about the quality of it? that too with chinese manufacturers tied-up.

I saw the nano once and it looked pretty cute.

The nano bike.
This should be intersting.
Aren't there any bikes in the 25000 segment?

If the one in pics will be coming then it really looks "Cheap"!
If we compare nano in carmarket, Atleast its nicely designed!but this one..ehh..
