Indonesian bloggers get to ride the new Step Thru a couple of days prior to the official launch..!!
Indonesia is a very important market for both Bajaj auto and TVS Motor. Indonesia is the world's third largest 2 wheeler market by volume after China and India.
2 days prior to the official launch, a selected bunch of popular Indonesian 2 wheeler bloggers were invited to the TVS plant in Indonesia..
A couple of years back both Bajaj and TVS entered the Indonesia with entirely different strategies. Bajaj started assembling the Pulsar 180/200 and XCD 125 (Motorcycles) and TVS entered Indonesia with a specially made for Indonesia Step Thru model, the Neo 110.
Just a couple of months back, there was news of Bajaj launching the Pulsar 135LS in Indonesia. Not to take things lightly, TVS has also launched the "Neo X3i", its entry level step thru in Indonesia on 7'th June 2010.
