Think this will help eliminate a lot of the train congestion over there as you can pack on about 100 on that thing

If the other specs are right, this would count as a short-range-ish real motorcycle rather than a scooter/moped.
A 2 lakh price would put it, if google didn't fail me, just above the Royal Enfield 500cc models in india.

Not however a motorcycle that I can see having any market in developed countries.
