with almost 75% of the country in tropical weather conditions anyone crazy enough to wear leather jackets and thick boods will be sweating away to death if he travels 500 KMs in that oppressive weather. Even in the U.S. during the summer months bikers seldom wear Leather jackets and the thick boots (So much necessary as a safety factor) and where speed is involved. Most of the highways are 75MPH legal and it makes sense. India, 120 KMH where can we drive at that speed. Wrongly intended product.

Very good point.
The problem is PRODUCT DESIGN !
Indian Co.'s are so fixated on copying that they gice scant regard to Indian conditions. Even foreign Co.'s design for their environments, there are plenty of breathable fabric's and materials. These get into the design of the products.
What an appropriate name for the petrol tank! Anyone who has money left after purchasing this vehicle, will be crying for ever when he tries to fuel it too.
There are a few things which should be part of this bike.
1) All new Alloy Wheels withe silver Coating 2) A Six Speed Gear box. 3) If Possible a V-Twin or an Twin cylinder Fuel injected one. 4)Liquid Cooling and not air cooling. 5)Combined ABS as optional.
