caliber
The next step for Bajaj Auto, albeit a logical one, is to
deliver a quality motorcycle to compete head-on with Hero Hondas Splendor. It has
done this with the Caliber. Super styling and adaptation of the four-stroke norm into a
package that has become highly popular has impacted the sales of its chief competitor. Its
three-piece instrument cluster comprises a speedometer, tachometer and fuel gauge. The
fuel tank, seat and rearlight nacelle combine to form a stylish profile. The company has
ensured that looks are not the only selling point. It has the Boxers engine, which
is rugged and reliable. The buyer has a hard choice to make between the Caliber and the
Splendor-one homegrown and the other a Japanese bike. |
