7 Bajaj to launch a 150 cc Boxer & a new Discover in India soon

150 cc Boxer & new Discover on the cards..

150 cc Boxer coming up..!!

A couple of weeks back the "desi" blogosphere went berserk with the news that Bajaj is going to resurrected its the Boxer brand in India [After the news was published by national publications].

The Boxer used to be a popular 100 cc model from Bajaj Auto untill it was stopped from production in India in 2004. So the speculation this time was of another 100 cc model. Some blogs also speculated a 125 cc Boxer.

But to shock everyone, this time the Boxer is going to come back in a 150 cc avatar..!!

Don't believe me? You should actually, as I am not speculating here without any proof.

Mr. Rajiv Bajaj (MD Bajaj Auto) had himself mentioned about plans for re launching the Boxer brand in India as a Utility brand to the NDTV Profit channel.

And this time with a 150 cc engine..!!
