Bajaj-Triumph bike: details
The Bajaj-Triumph Scrambler has been spotted testing in India multiple times over the past. In recent spy shots we noticed that the bike has handsome proportions. The design seems to take inspiration from the existing Triumph Bonneville family of motorcycles.
The riding position on this test bike also seems pretty relaxed, but there isn't much room for the pillion, by the looks of it.
As for the engine, the bike is expected to be powered by a 300-400cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. This bike is expected to be the most affordable Triumph that one can buy, once it goes on sale.
