Thread: Heard of the Mahindra JEETO ? One cylinder, a proper workhorse

Awesome!

I want one.
Why does the topic immediately turn to 'going fast' when this kind of vehicle surfaces .. you want a 1cyl 600 cc engined vehicle to 'go fast'

The site that bob linked too doesn't do it justice.
The link at the bottom of that link shows more info ..

Truckyeah

Love the 4dr ragtop version in the truckyeah site.

The deal making spec for this little ripper is the 37.6km/l fuel consumption spec.
Chuck in a 30 or 40lt tank .. 1200-1600km/fill .. couriers dream.

My favourite vehicle ever was the piddly little 90cc postie bike used for a short time when I was a courier.
CB900's, FZ750's, RZ and RD 250's/350's ... all fun for a very short time till you lose all your points spend two fortunes on tyres every month traffic fines! .. stuff that.
Postie bike cost half of stuff all to run, and keep running.

Lesson learned .. keep costs as low as possible .. and ultimately end up going a lot further.

There's a ton of merit in just such a vehicle for remotely located farmers.

Until they siezed.

LOL!
I had 4 in total(ie. one of each of them) .. never had any issue with seizure.
DT200 too .. another great courier bike.
Of course the main downfall as a courier bike was the kick start(stop/starting 5 times in less minutes!)

My only issues with the RZ/RDs was that they'd wear bores every 30 or so K klms, so a rebuild every year, or two per year started to wear thin quickly.
Kept going at least till I could sort other transport, but the rebuild time(and cost) was usually quick and cheap .. compared to the CB900!

Only bike that seized on me was the CB900.

I reckon a single cylinder diesel would have an interesting level of vibration to have to live with tho!
DT200 was fine .. never bothered, Postie also easy to live with, but the XT500 was just a bit more than unbearable, for an all day ride. Glad to see the back of that one.

Hopefully the Mahindra engineers have done at least some work on that side of the engine.

I couldnt see anywhere where speed or engine power were quoted. Did I miss it? Others are commenting on it.
