Bajaj Auto's mild 125cc KTM concepts!

• When I visited the Milan motorcycle show of this year, I felt that some thing worth great excitement is happening in the two wheeler world. The reason is the KTM stunt and the racer concpts being shown to the people.
• When I saw these two concepts, I really felt that they would havebeen the products from the KTM works at Austria. But I was astonished to know that except for the design, the bikes including the engine, the frame, the gear boz are all totally manufactured at the Bajaj Auto's palnt at Akurdi, Pune. It appears that by this tume in the next year, the two motorcycles would be ready to be supplied to the world markets.
• Both the Bajaj Stunt 125 and the Race 125 comes with a lattice type frame, into which the all new 125cc engine is hung. The two bikes are designed by the same team who had designed the Bajaj Pulsar. The lattice frame is not only used as a structural design but also as a design element, Top notch suspension.
• Both bikes feature Brambo disc brakes (both front and rear). Both the bikes come fitted with gorgeous Marchesini alloy wheels. .
• The single cylinder engine that powers these two concepts which is of immense interest. The new liquid cooled engines is the mildest state of tune meet the 15PS mark without much effort hiven that they are capable of much more because of the 4 valve head operated by twin overhead crankshafts and employing electronic fuel injection. The compact nature of the engine is evident in the way it is hung in the frame and also canted a bit forward. 
• The stunt 125 version is performance personified with its twin can exhaust system while the Race 125 version has just such an innovative approach with its under slung exhaust. There would be a choice of a 5 or 6 feed gear box and the entire system works on power to weight mantra.
