Yee-ha! Yippee-yay! Glorious! Fabulous! Get me all the colours. Ravings of a mad nutter you say? Well, uh in a way yes. You see being half-bawa I am well... half mad. So the pressing question is why am I acting totally bonkers? A 300km ride on the Eliminator, Bajaj Auto's hottest, most delicious offering to date did what even the lord above failed to do right at the start. A self-confessed Bullet nut, my loyalties seem to be veering in Bajaj's direction. Unbelievable but true. Just a year back such a thought wouldn't even permeate this thick skull of mine.

In September we carried an exclusive first ride on a pre-production model and the editor came away all raving and salivating over the bike. Is the Eliminator that good to warrant such copious praise? Off hand I would say yes but then I get paid to key in a few more words. So now it is my turn to salivate and in turn make you salivate over these pages. Setting aside my initial euphoria, I’ll try (very hard) to be objective and bring you a fair picture of how good (or bad) this bike really is. No point in repeating what the editor already said in the preview so let’s get right down to the job at hand. So keep those super absorbent napkins at hand while I put the Eliminator through her paces and see how she scores in this exclusive road test of what will be one of the most exclusive bikes to be made in India.
