Evolution of Bikes in India
In 70s we had Bajaj Vespa, Bajaj Chetak, Bajaj cub... And i remember an exciting booking session for a new model of scooter Vespa XE and a failed launch of the same brand.
Then came the launch of Hero Honda, Kawasaki Bajaj, Yamaha RX100, Kinetic Honda, Ind Suzuki, Enfield Explorer.
Ind Suzuki later became TVS Suzuki and then we saw the birth of Suzuki Samurai ( The no problem bike!).
Suzuki launched a much more powerful five gear bike in Suzuki Shaolin.
Yamaha launched Crux in the late 90s to capitalise on the lost Yamaha franchisee.
TVS launched Victor
Hero Honda was the only consistent player in this whole game till 2011. As they parted ways with Honda. Now its just Hero.
Kinetic Honda was the only button start, now we have almost every 100cc bike/ scooter with a button start
