Poor sales could be a reason for the same or one could also assume that the engines were not BS4 compliant till date. Entry of Tornado 302R could help the brand stand high in front of Kawasaki Ninja 300 and even the temporarily discontinued Yamaha R3. This segment will grow more in the coming time as riders are looking for faster and more comfortable alternatives to large, single cylinder engines in India.
