The modified engine is brilliant. I think bajaj is doing a great job and is a company on its way to make it big. However I believe they need to market their bikes outside of india to a wider audience. Using a tool like MyPRGenie (http://www.myprgenie.com/technology/) they can build PR and let the service handle all marketing issues. I am regular user and am a big fan
