Bajaj is expected to brand this bike under a separate brand.

From the pictures, Bajaj low cost bike steel is a no frill budget machine with decade old styling. It inherits the defunct Boxer styling with round headlamps and round rear view mirrors.  The flat tank with no recess and flat seats are remiscent of chinese make .We seen it first in the Xenitis 125cc Xpression now Bajaj seems to be toeing the same line. Thankfully the low cost bike steel have telescopic forks at the front and spring suspension at the rear. The bike (Steel) is expected to be priced around Rs25000. Mouthwatering isn’t it??
