The decade of the 70s was the time when only a few imported or British-made motorcycles left behind by the British before independence were seen in the country. Motorcycles of companies like BSA adorned the garages of some rich people during this time and the Royal Enfield Bullet was also limited to only a few people due to being a heavy and low-mileage bike.
Then came a period of change, a new motorcycle knocked and it was easy to ride, its weight was less, and a new carburettor design was used in it, due to which people became crazy about this motorcycle.
Not only in cities but also in rural areas during that time, people used to wait for many months to buy this motorcycle. The looks of this bike have also changed a lot, such a design started from this bike which is now seen in sleek and daily use motorcycles.
