is that a 600? or 1000 or what
Seeing that this is in India and the design of the wheels, I can definitely say the bike is from a manufacturer called "Bajaj". Almost all of their bikes come with the same wheel design.
Now since this bike doesnt have a front disk brake I would say this is the 100cc Bajaj Discover
Seeing this photograph sure would give that guy who posted about his 150cc tour of South America a complex. It's amazing how hard we beat our bikes here.
Quality time with the family.
Putting flipflops and feet on exhaust: smart!
That back tire is about to shed a tear.
This photo is part of a "Going to school" series set in India.

My parents just got back from India and said everyone drives with total disregard for any sort of road rules. People get on the horn like it's essential, drive on the left, right, or directly in the middle- regardless of lines. And they weave in and out anywhere, in the city or on a cliff.
That said, I hardly trust American drivers on the road, and given Indian drivers reputations, I be wary myself, much less myself and SIX children.
I have a few friends from India and they always have a hard time adjusting to our driving. That and they're all horrible at it.
I can confirm your parents are correct.
Imagine what this guy would do with a Goldwing.
He'd use it as a party bus.
