Yes, 15" rims, lowered 35mm, body kitted and turbod, could be fun.

How on earth do they manage to only get 44mph out of a 600cc engine?!

Buy for £1200, strip down, weld together properly, fit a 1250cc BMW bike engine (6 speed + electronic reverse), fit some banded steel or alternative larger wheels, fit a roll bar at least and it could be an interesting machine.

I think it's quite nice that the people of India will now have an option. It's horrible hearing of the stories of families being injured over there because they have to ride scooters etc.

I dont think it will lessen the casualty rate in India, the reason there are so many accidents and therefore casualties is the appauling driving standards across the country, there appears to be no right of way apart from bigger is best and no other visible rules of the road. Just look at these clips..
