The best Indian bike to date? Probably. Different people look for different things in a bike. For her sheer blend of style, power and to an extent Fuel Efficiency nothing can hold a candle to the Eliminator. And oh don't forget the pricing that will keep her exclusive and desirable for a long time to come.

Expect the Eliminator to be priced in the whereabouts of 75 to 80 thousand rupees. This sounds like and definitely is a lot of money for a two-wheeler but take a look at the overall package, features offered etc and she doesn't seem to be very overpriced. The Eliminator is not targeted at the volumes market. Bajaj doesn't expect volumes in the league of the M80. Rather she is targeted as a brand ambassador to build up Bajaj Auto's market value as also a shining symbol of how much focus this predominant scooter maker of years ago is now lavishing on motorcycles. And the Eliminator surely can't fail at the task at hand.

To me, the Eliminator is the best, no two ways about it. But then I am not really into racing and prefer pose value to corner speeds. On the other side of the fence are people like Aspi Bhathena, our resident racer who would rather have a sports bike as would the bossman himself. For them and thousands of others like them, Bajaj Auto has kept the flame of faith burning, the 200cc Pulsar is just round the corner. In the meantime, Adil, here's me asking, begging, pleading for a raise. Try and understand Boss, I must, simply must, have an Eliminator.
