And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

It looks nice but why don't they have the confidence in the product to sell it under the Mahindra brand name?

Maybe because they are known throughout Asia for manufacturing heavier plant and stinky smoke belching trucks ?? :whistle:

And Moto3 bikes which would help sell the brand more than a relic from nearly 50 years ago.

The future of motorcycling is in the past...

hence Ducati Scrambler, SWM, Royal Enfield, KTM's acquisition of the Husqvarna brand (while wisely ditching the actual bikes) etc etc.

So, it makes sense to buy the BSA brand...worth a fortune in terms of what it would cost to 'build' a new brand.

Point of order Mr Chairman - IIRC KTM "ditched" the BMW designed "Husqvarnas - not the preceding excellent Italian Husqvarnas
