He also said that their focus has shifted to the ‘premium’ segment motorcycles for now. The statements by Mr Sanjay clearly tells that Hero has no plans to launch the Hastur 620 in the upcoming 3-4 years.
The biggest question is why was the Hastur concept showcased at the 2014 Auto Expo if the company has no plans to launch the motorcycle anytime soon?
The reason must be to show the customers and its competitors that the company has the vision to launch big motorcycles.
