The next step for Bajaj Auto, albeit a logical one, is to deliver a quality motorcycle to compete head-on with Hero Honda’s 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 Boxer’s 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.
