version produced around 39 bhp while the Indian bike was sold with an output of
around 30 bhp and 27 bhp.

paint scheme which is the highlight of this customisation. Brakes have been
upgraded to a front disc while the rear remains a drum setup. The footpegs are
also slightly rear set and the bike has been made into a single seater. The
exhaust system is new and includes canisters at both ends.

technology, modern day motorcycles still have a tough time in keeping up with
the Yamaha RD350.
