Too early to say. A real life on road test is awaited. However personally i think TVS has done a great in churning out good performance numbers (power and torque) from a 300cc new engine. Also the bike looks beefy and madr for true adventure.
Usually IBR planning commission members discuss and decide whenever an exception need to be created for a in-catergory bike below 350cc. But, as I said, we need to wait a little more to say whether to allow it or not.
The E20 gunk that we see in our throttle bodies is'nt a pretty sight at all. I have also observed a lower mileage in my ride. Worst part is even premium fuels like Shell have 15% Ethanol blend!!.
