March 20, 2011 was a historic day for motorcycle racing in India as team Mahindra started its Grand Prix for motorcycle up to 125 cc.This is the first time in the history of India motorcycling that a manufacture has decided to participate in world motor cycle championship.
This little 125 cc motorcycles may look like very basic two stroke bikes but they are loaded with high end technology. There are sensor that records the front and rear suspension movement meant to help the rider and his mechanic to set up the suspension.
The Mahindar 125 has a unique engine and gearbox layout where the gear box is mounted below the engine to accommodate the disc valve induction behind the engine. But this system has a few limitation as cannot increase the length of the carborattors starts to stick out and makes motorcycle wide. The second issue is that in this design the inlet port opens under one of the transfer ports and due to this there is uneven gas flow.
