Bajaj Eliminator 175 was discontinued, but it was however a big hit among Indian motorcycle scene. Bajaj’s unique position as an early entry level cruiser by an Indian manufacturer also brings into question the long term impact on Bajaj’s product strategy. Some ask if the experience with the Eliminator had any bearing on how Bajaj developed new models, or entered new segments. The debate whether lessons learned from the Eliminator project still influence Bajaj's decision making today, in terms of experimenting with niche categories or sticking to mainstream segments, is still on. It also talks about how the Eliminator would have an impact on the way people regard the Bajaj brand and whether the Eliminator will be something of an advantage or disadvantage to them, should they plan on reowning the cruiser market sometime in the future.
