Rosalía announced her Motomami World Tour – her first-ever global concert installment – on April 18, 2022. Rosalía’s 2022 tour will span 46 dates in 15 countries, beginning in the summer and continuing through the end of September. year. The “Saoko” singer teased her Motomami World Tour a day before the official announcement went live, writing on Instagram, “Atencion motomami$$ mañana anunciO aLGO????????????????,” which translates to “Attention motomami$ $ I will announce something tomorrow.

More from StyleCaster

Rosalía’s 2022 tour, as her namesake suggests, is in support of her third studio album, MOTOMAMI. The album, which was released in March 2022, was widely praised by music critics and fans, who praised the record for its genre approach and experimental sound. Explaining the name of her album, Rosalía said Billboard after the album was released, “Motomami is the name of my company. When I was a teenager, I had a friend whose email account was “Motomami”. I loved the name and it stuck with me.

“I associate it with my friend and motorcycles. My mother has always had motorcycles, I have been riding them since the age of eight with my father. And a Motomami, well, my mom is the OG Motomami,” she continued. “There are so many Motomamis around the world who have inspired me. My mother, my sister, my friend Hunter Schafer. Motomami is an energy. Anyone can be a Motomami, Motopapi. It’s the way you feel. And also, it’s doing everything you can with what you have.

Before the release of MOTOMAMI, Rosalía alluded to the record’s feminist and sexually empowered themes during her November 2021 cover story for the inaugural issue of Rolling Stone in Spanish. At the time, Rosi expressed hope that MOTOMAMI would serve as a “counterweight” to the “macho and misogynist” stereotypes that often permeate the content and coverage of Latin music.

“I haven’t always found female figures who write more raw, especially in Spanish music or folk music. It’s easier to find these figures in English music than in Spanish music,” the Grammy winner said, adding, however, that these tropes go beyond music. “I also believe it’s not just about reggaeton. It is the reflection of society. If it happens in music, it’s because something is happening on a social level, in the real world,” Rosalía continued. “So we better ask ourselves what is going on and what else we need to do in this regard.”

MOTOMAMI is Rosalía’s answer to this call. And after dominating the airwaves and streaming services since its release, Motomamis around the world will finally have their moment to experience the album, along with a handful of their other hits over the years, in concert.

2022 Honda Hawk 11 on sale in Japan, RM46,597

Launched at the Osaka Motor Show last month, the 2022 Honda Hawk 11 retro cafe racer is now on sale in Japan, priced at 1.397 million yen (RM46,597). Currently only available in the Japanese domestic market, the Hawk 11 is unlikely to make it to Malaysia as the current tax and duty structure for large capacity motorcycles would make it prohibitively expensive.

For comparison, the Honda CB1100RS, another retro motorcycle offering from Honda, the CB1100RS, is priced at 1.4 million yen (RM46,697) in Japan, but when it was sold in Malaysia in 2019 , you paid retail RM75,999 for it. So, as a rough guide, if Malaysian distributor Boon Siew Honda decides to offer the Hawk 11, expect the price to be higher than the RM80,000 price tag.

The power of the Hawk 11 comes with a parallel-twin engine powered by Honda’s PGM-Fi, the same engine used in the Honda CRF1100L= adventure tourer and Rebel 1100 cruiser. The Hawk 11 gets 102 hp at 7,500 rpm. min and 104Nm of torque at 6,250rpm, the chopper displacing 1,082cc, going through a six-speed gearbox and chain final drive.

Equipped with a ride-by-wire throttle, the Hawk 11 has four riding modes – Sport, Standard, Rain and User – affecting power delivery, power limit and engine braking via Honda Selectable Torque Control (HTSC) . All the necessary information the pilot needs is displayed on an LCD screen inside the cockpit, under the old-fashioned cafe racer fairing.

Equipment specs on the Hawk 11 are minimal with non-adjustable telescopic front forks and a preload-adjustable monoshock in the rear. Braking is done with two hydraulic discs on the front wheel with a single disc on the rear with the Hawk 11 rolling on 17-inch wheels.

Honda claims the Hawk 11 weighs 214kg, with a seat height set at 820mm and 14 liters of fuel carried in the tank. LED lighting is used throughout the Hawk 11 while performance parts specialist Moriwaki provides an optional chrome exhaust.

There’s an ex-Steve McQueen “Sandcast” 1969 Honda CB750 for sale

This is a rare 1969 Honda CB750 “Sandcast” which is historically significant for two reasons, firstly it was the world’s first “superbike” and secondly it was purchased new by Steve McQueen through his Solar Productions production.

Although there were many motorcycles before the CB750 to which the term superbike was applied retroactively, such as the Brough Superior SS100 and the Vincent Black Shadow, the Honda CB750 was the motorcycle for which the term was first used. time.

Quick Facts – The Honda CB750 “Sandcast”

  • The Honda CB750 was developed in the late 1960s and released in 1969 in response to a demand from American motorcycle dealers for a larger capacity motorcycle that would better compete with the likes of Harley-Davidson, Norton, Triumph and BSA.
  • With its 750cc SOHC inline-four engine, four carburettors, integrated 5-speed gearbox, front disc brake, electric starter, excellent reliability and zero oil leaks, the CB750 marked a generational shift in motorcycle design. And it was affordable.
  • Honda executives had at first been skeptical that the motorcycle would sell in numbers, and so instead of gearing up for mass production, they initially relied on sand casting for the crankcase . These early “sandcast” bikes are now highly collectable.
  • The CB750 you see here was purchased new by Steve McQueen’s Solar Productions, the company he used for much of his filming and the entity through which he purchased many of his cars and motorcycles.

The UJM: a paradigm shift in motorcycle design

The transverse four-cylinder engine with the cam at the top, with unitary construction and a quartet of carburettors had been done on production motorcycles before of course, most famously by the Italians of MV Augusta.

Built with unitary construction, this inline four-cylinder engine with its SOHC and four carburetors would revolutionize the motorcycle industry.

What Honda did was produce a similar engine that was affordable for the average Joe, and it revolutionized the motorcycle world.

The other major Japanese motorcycle manufacturers quickly copied the transverse four-wheel design and launched their own superbikes, namely Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha. These motorcycles became known as “Universal Japanese Motorcycles” or “UJM” for short.

The transverse four-cylinder engine became a de facto standard for many Japanese superbikes and this trend continues to this day.

The Honda CB750

In the late 1960s, American Honda motorcycle dealers were clamoring for a high-capacity motorcycle to compete with Harley-Davidson, Triumph, Norton and the other popular British motorcycle brands that sold tens of thousands of motorcycles each year in the United States. United. .

honda-cb750-22sandcast22-6-740x493-1

Unlike many of its contemporaries, the CB750 had an electric starter, no oil leaks and excellent reliability. All this has made it a very easy bike to live with on a daily basis.

Honda was a little skeptical of the concept, but they accepted it regardless and began development of an all-new motorcycle.

Honda engineers, who had years of Grand Prix motorcycle design experience under their belt, designed a new inline-four engine that would be mounted transversely in the frame. It was built with unitary construction and it had an electric starter, 5-speed gearbox, no oil leaks and excellent reliability.

Despite their initial skepticism, Honda was initially unable to build enough to meet demand, the CB750 became one of the best-selling large-capacity motorcycles of its time, and it nearly killed the industries of British and American motorcycling in the process.

Ex-Steve McQueen 1969 Honda CB750 shown here

This Honda CB750 is a bit more special than most, it was bought new by legendary Hollywood actor Steve McQueen through his production company.

honda-cb750-22sandcast22-8-740x495-1

This now restored CB750 was purchased new by Steve McQueen through his production company.

McQueen was famous for being a top notch tanker, collecting cars, motorcycles, planes, 4x4s and just about anything that moved and made noise.

This bike is from the first year of production, making it a desirable “sandcast” model. During the first year of building the CB750, Honda relied on sand casting for crankcases, later models would use mass production techniques.

For the first 45 years of its life this bike had only two owners, the first being Steve McQueen and the second being a long term owner who took care to preserve the bike.

It has just completed a two-year restoration which was completed in February 2022 and it is now offered for sale on Bring A Trailer.

If you want to know more or register to bid, you can click here to visit the list.

The bike comes with original sales literature, a letter from Honda Motor Company, a copy of an invoice from American Honda, remanufacturing records, Honda tool kit, a yellow-on-black California license plate and a proper California title in the seller’s name.

4 Sale / 1983 Honda Gold Wing GL1100: the biggest rocker on the used market

Have you checked Craigslist/Gumtree/Kijiji/Facebook Marketplace lately? Used bike prices have gone crazy. Completely crazy. I see people selling used bikes way above the MSRP of a new bike, and I see the ads disappear, so I presume they get their asking price.

Maybe they are not. But even if these money-crazed lunatics reduce their bike prices to slightly more reasonable figures before selling, anyone shopping in the used bike market knows that it’s nigh on impossible to find a bargain from our days. With dealer inventory low over the past two years, the supply/demand curve has driven up the price of used machines, and dealers themselves are contributing to the problem. I know of at least two local dealers who have their own salespeople who scour used listings, buy bikes to resell in their stores with inflated price tags. The days of finding a properly functioning machine for $1,000 to $1,500 seem long gone.

However, if you are willing to spend a little more than that, you can find yourself one of the best deals on the used market today: a vintage Honda Gold Wing. While these machines were at the top of the price list in their day, their price has come down significantly in recent years, and a bike like the 1983 GL1100 seen here is now one of the most affordable machines available, practically speaking. They’ve done a complete flip-flop on price, and if you’re looking for a good used bike, you could do a lot worse, because it’s still a machine with a lot of history, and still reliable if properly maintained. .

Look at all that shiny trim. Look at the. If you’re buying a vintage fender, try to buy something with clean, rust-free chrome, as there are a lot of small bits that will take a long time to clean. Photo: Cycle Trader

A tough start

Nowadays, people think of Gold Wings as a bike for long miles or a bike for carrying a passenger (especially if you want to carry a passenger and long miles). This was not always the case. When the original Honda GL1000 debuted in 1975, the flat-four looked like it came from some weird muscle bike. It was a radical departure from the standard Japanese format of parallel-twin or inline-four engines, like something you’d see on a solid European-built tourer, but with extra cylinders grafted in. It was a massive engine for that era, but it wasn’t designed for drag strips like the Z1 900.

Although it looked like a bike brute, this motor was built for serious work, not thrills, and the styling backed it up. The original GL1000 seemed to continue the lines of great British luxury motorcycles like the best from Brough Superior or Vincent. It wasn’t boring, but it wasn’t a bold design either. It felt like a bike you would have raced hard all day, in comfort, and it did.

When buyers discovered what a reliable tourer the original Gold Wing was, they started adding windshields and bags, through the aftermarket at first (Vetter made a lot of money here, but also other companies).

The GL1100 was available bare from the factory, but most examples came with gigantic bodywork installed. Most owners also added stereos and other accessories. Photo: Cycle Trader

Dressed for success

Honda saw how popular aftermarket fairings and luggage were and began selling its own dressed up version of the Gold Wing when it upgraded to the GL1100 model in 1980. First there was the Interstate tourer , and Honda soon added the Aspencade. These bikes rolled out of the factory with options that would have seemed like science fiction a few years earlier. Pneumatic suspension! Factory stereo! A CB radio, even, to help you dodge the county cops!

As the engine grew, so did the rest of the bike. Honda has always sold a stripped naked version, but the GL1100 never had the same look or muscle bike reputation as the GL1000. The Interstate weighed about 680 pounds dry, depending on the production year you purchased. The Aspencade exceeded 700 pounds. Even the unfaired Standard model weighed nearly 600 pounds before adding fuel.

However, at this point, riders were buying the Gold Wing because it represented the pinnacle of motorcycle touring, and the added weight (and expense) of all the accessories was just the price to pay. The GL1100 was the model that propelled the Gold Wing series into the market position it still holds today, more than 40 years after its introduction, and second-hand prices have remained high for many, many years in because of the reputation of the motorcycle, but also because of its mechanics. reliability. Now those prices have changed.

61f3e6dd2e3a97675d57d466

The GL1100 was one of the first motorcycles built by Honda in the United States, and this is probably a secondary reason for its enormous commercial success in the United States. Honda actually marketed this as an American-made bike, which no doubt assuaged the conscience of some longtime Harley-Davidson riders when they made the switch. Of course, those Harley riders also left behind Shovelheads, Ironheads, etc., and the reliability of the ‘Wing would have been a huge improvement. Photo: Cycle Trader

Break the miles

When the original Gold Wing made its debut in the mid-1970s, Japanese motorcycles were still building their reputation for reliability. Some of those old classics – the GS-series, the XS-series, the CB-series – all developed their own sequels based on their heavy-duty engines, but the Gold Wing was on top of them all. These days, it’s nothing to see one for sale with 100,000 miles on the clock, or maybe more, and still running.

However, while the motors and other hard parts are very sturdy, these bikes do age, which means the bodywork may be a bit damaged on a used example. Worse still, important electromechanical components may require you to remove that bodywork and even the engine for servicing. Basic work on anything in the heads isn’t bad as they drag in the breeze, but woe betide you if you have to access the charging system on the back. Like many other machines from the 80s, these get more and more suspect over time, and no mechanic will want to deal with them without charging you big bucks (at least you have guys like Steve Saunders to help you through this, with great Gold Wing resources available online).

This is partly why you see so many of these bikes being sold on the used market at low prices now, as opposed to the higher prices of yesteryear. The amount of extra labor costs to maintain these bikes, compared to simpler bikes of the same vintage, makes them less attractive to many buyers. Add in the “fatherly” styling of ’80s GLs, and you’ve got a supply/demand curve that’s the inverse of the rest of the used bike scene right now. The supply of these reliable machines is high, as many have been made and are still working. Demand is low because they are complicated to maintain, their once pleasing aesthetics have fallen out of favor, and they are a bit big and heavy.

That means you can always find one in the $2,500 range or even lower if you’re willing to put in some effort. And when you find one, you can do wonderful things with it, as seen below…

After telling you about all those cheap, high-mileage Wings on the market, here’s something else – a not-so-cheap, low-mileage example.

The motorcycle in these photos is a 1983 Honda GL1100 Interstate, for sale in Florida with only 10,948 miles on the odometer. This is a one-owner, unrestored bike. Alas, the asking price is $7,900, so it’s not for your average cheap bike shopper…but at least if you’ve bought yourself a mangled GL from the 80s, you can get a good idea of ​​what it is at. what he looked like originally, in these photos! And if you really want to make an offer on this machine, contact the owner at the ad here.

However, if you’re not looking to spend $8,000 on an old ‘Wing? Check this link here, or apply search parameters similar to Craigslist or otherwise: look for a Gold Wing between $500 and $2,500. It’s amazing what is available in this price range, as this model 82 with a sleek look at a Wisconsin dealership for $1,995. It might take a few tweaks, but it should get you back and forth across the country as long as you make sure the mechanical systems are in good shape beforehand. Not bad, for a few thousand!

A street-legal 1977 Honda CB500 race bike

This Honda CB500 race bike was built in the 1970s by engineer Brian Brownrigg for Bolton based rider Chris Hawkes, the bike won three separate championships at the time, it was later slightly modified and registered for a road use.

The 1970s was a time when the European old guard of the motorcycle world was being beaten down by Japanese newcomers, upending decades of history and bringing the industry to rapid decline. Motorcycles like the Honda CB500 shown here have been key to that success.

Quick Facts – A Road-Legal Honda CB500 Champion

  • The Honda CB500 was released in 1971 as the middleweight sister to the larger Honda CB750. Both models featured inline four-cylinder engines with a single overhead camshaft, two valves per cylinder and an electric starter.
  • When released in Europe, the CB500 was praised by the press, its advanced engine producing power comparable to that of a 650cc twin, but it shared none of the leaks or reliability weaknesses of its British competitors.
  • For many motorcyclists, the Honda CB750 was simply too big or too powerful, and so the lighter and cheaper CB500 was the ideal solution.
  • The Honda CB500 race bike you see here was ridden competitively in the UK during the period, winning three separate championships at Three Sisters and it ran the Ace of Aintree Championship for a time.

The Honda CB750: An Industry-Transforming Superbike

The Honda CB750 was released in 1969 in response to US dealer demand for a larger capacity motorcycle to better challenge the dominant motorcycles from companies like Harley-Davidson, Triumph, Norton and BSA.

Like almost all 1970s racing bikes of this type, this CB500 has a full fairing with windscreen allowing optimum top speed in a straight line.

What no one knew at the time was that this new model would unleash a motorcycle tsunami that would topple many of the world’s top brands, fundamentally changing the motorcycle landscape forever.

Thanks to the incredible success of the CB750, Honda developed a new model based on the same architecture, but aiming to achieve in the middle-duty market what the CB750 had achieved in the heavy-duty market.

The Honda CB500: middleweight perfection

This new motorcycle would be the Honda CB500. It featured a new engine that looked very similar to its bigger brother, but used new block, barrel and head castings, with all new internals.

Like its larger predecessor, the CB500 was an inline-four with a single overhead cam operating eight valves, two per cylinder. It was equipped with four carburettors and the engine was built in one piece, with an electric starter and a front disc brake.

This engine now has a displacement of 550 cc, it is also fitted with a Yoshimura YH-2-1 camshaft, Honda CG pistons, a bank of four Mk2 Amal 20 mm carburettors and a kit of Kibblewhite valve springs.

Power output was a respectable 50 bhp and top speed was 185 km/h, both excellent figures for a motorcycle of this displacement at the time.

The CB500 produced as much power as many larger 650cc engined motorcycles, but without any leaks and without the hassle of using a starter to get it started every day. The model quickly became a best-seller and it wasn’t long before it started being modified for use on the race tracks.

Perhaps the most successful racing version of the CB500 was the one raced by Bill Smith at the Isle of Man TT in 1973, he won the 500cc TT Production race, finishing 8.2 seconds ahead of runner-up Stan Woods.

The 1977 Honda CB500 race bike shown here

The bike you see here is a highly modified Honda CB500, it was built by successful engineer and rider Brian Brownrigg for Bolton-based rider Chris Hawkes.

honda-cb500-race-bike-winner-740x493-1

This bike has a well-stocked trophy cabinet, it won three separate championships at Three Sisters and led the Ace of Aintree championship among many other strong finishes.

Hawkes had some success at Aintree in the Ace of Aintree 500cc four-stroke championship and also raced at Cadwell Park. In 1982 the bike passed to new hands, in the years that followed it won three separate championships at Three Sisters and led the Ace of Aintree Championship.

During the winter of 1982 the bike received extensive mechanical maintenance including a ported cylinder head, white metal shell bearings and the crank stripped so that the connecting rods were polished and balanced.

It is now fitted with 20mm Mk2 Amal carburettors, a high performance Yoshimura YH-2-1 camshaft, Honda CG pistons, Kibblewhite valve spring kit and a 56mm rebore. giving a displacement of 550 cm3.

A few years later, in 1997, the bike was registered for the road for the first time, it retains its UK road registration, potentially making it an ideal weekend bike for B-road adventures.

5 electric vehicles with the highest claimed range on sale

This is happening even as we speak. The EV market is gradually and obviously expanding its footprint in India. Besides new brands, even mainstream bike and scooter manufacturers have jumped on the trend and are already setting the pattern for their EV portfolio for years to come. But from a buyer’s point of view, one of the most or probably the most important aspects of an electric vehicle is the range it offers. We’ve done quite a bit of research and here are the top five electric two-wheelers in India that offer the most range on paper.

Ranger Komaki

ola-s1-pro-right-side-view2

While a lot of electric two-wheelers are designed with a bit of a conservative approach, the Komaki Ranger seems to be the opposite. It gets a proper cruiser stance with original bodywork. Although electric, Komaki also slapped on fake exhaust pipes, more or less to mimic gas-powered ones.

The Komaki Ranger is priced at Rs 1,74,500 (Ex-showroom, Delhi) and is fitted with a 3.6 kWh battery that claims to be enough for 200 km. Additionally, the Ranger also gets features like LED lighting, Bluetooth compatibility, phone charging, reverse and even cruise control.

Hello S1

ola-s1-pro-right-front-three-quarter1

Perhaps one of the most talked about EVs right now, the Ola S1 Pro also makes the list. It is priced at Rs 1,29,999 (ex-showroom Bengaluru) and can be booked through Ola Electric official website only. That being said, the booking portal is only accessible once a month or two, so the waiting period is quite long.

The Ola S1 Pro is powered by a 3.97 kWh battery that offers a range of 181 km (ARAI). In terms of features, the Ola S1 Pro is equally loaded like its foes. You get LED light proximity lock/unlock, remote start lock, call alert, message alert, infotainment, side stand alert, anti-theft alert, geolocation, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and more.

Hero Electric NYX HX (dual battery)

ola-s1-pro-right-side-view4

The Hero Electric NYX HX has been on sale for quite some time now and it sells for Rs 67,540 (ex Delhi showroom). It has a very family-friendly design and looks like the NYX HX also has quite a lot of storage space.

Hero has fitted the NYX HX with a dual 1.5kWh battery and claims it has enough charge for 165km. Its list of features is quite basic but functional. You get LED lights, regenerative braking, a phone charging slot and a folding rear seat.

Okinawa iPraise+

ola-s1-pro-right-front-three-quarter0

Finally, the Okinawa iPraise Plus is also on the list. It gets quite sporty bodywork and has a youthful appeal. The asking price is set at Rs 1.5 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) and the iPraise+ packs around 160km of range.

The electronics suite consists of LED front and rear light, gas suspension, fully digital LCD console and smartphone connectivity. You can purchase the Okinawa iPraise+ from the company’s official website.

RV400 Revolt

ola-s1-pro-right-side-view3

Next, in the electric scooter mix, the Revolt RV400 electric motorcycle makes a good variation. It is priced at Rs 1.24 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) and is the only offering in the bike maker’s current portfolio. Revolt powered the RV400 with a 3.24kWh swappable lithium-ion battery that offers 156km of claimed range.

Feature-wise, you get an all-LCD dashboard and 4G connectivity. Plus, it also comes with Bluetooth connectivity to pair your smartphone and access details like trip history, battery status, range, and nearest swap station.

The poor wait desperate while the well-to-do take more

Fair Price Sale, organized by the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock to provide milk, eggs and meat at reasonable prices to the city’s poor and needy, proved to be not so fair, according to many consumers.

The initiative was taken to help those in need, but many affluent consumers were seen queuing to buy more than their fair share of produce at various fair-priced outlets in Dhaka on Monday.

The ministry chose 10 outlets in the city for the sales which started on Sunday. However, poor management of the sales process has been reported by many consumers.

Some managed to buy 4 to 5 kg of meat from the mobile vans while many had to leave empty-handed as the products were running out.

According to the rules, each person in line could buy a maximum of 1 kg of beef or mutton, 1 kg of chicken, a dozen eggs, two liters of milk. But some were seen buying 2-3 kg of meat, 5 liters of milk and 30 eggs at the Khamarbari sales centre.

As more and more people bought more produce, the Khamarbari outlet ran out of meat at 12 p.m. and milk and eggs at 12:45 p.m., leaving 12 shoppers still in the queue.

On the day the sale opened, Dr Monjur Mohammad Shahjada, Director General of the Department of Livestock Services, told The Business Standard that the initiative was taken mainly for the poor and needy.

Nurul Amin, a consumer, told TBS, “I came to buy the goods yesterday, but the sale was over by then. I couldn’t even buy meat after queuing at 11:30 a.m. today. today. They ran out of meat around 12 p.m..”

If those who have money buy 2-3 kg of meat, we will not be able to buy any, he said.

A person was seen buying 3kg of beef citing the name of a secretary. However, he did not mention which ministry the secretary belongs to.

When asked, salesman Mohammad Robin told TBS, “Look, a man came and took 3 kg of meat on behalf of a secretary. What can we do here?”

Another consumer, Liakat Ali, bought 2 kg of meat, 5 liters of milk and 30 eggs. He told TBS, “My house is in Kazipara area of ​​Mirpur. I noticed the outlet while riding my motorbike and bought some necessary items.”

Another customer, Jahid Hasan, said it was not possible for him to buy meat because the price was high in the market. “After queuing for 45 minutes, I was able to buy products. I asked for 1 kg of chicken, but I received half a kg. But I received 2 liters of milk”, a- he declared.

Jahid said there was noticeable mismanagement in the sale otherwise it shouldn’t end so soon.

Mainly, 10 spots have been selected for sale – Abdul Gani Road, Khamarbari Roundabout, Japan Garden City, Mirpur 60ft Road, Azimpur Maternity, Nayabazar in Old Dhaka, Arambag, Notun Bazar, Kalshi and Jatrabari.

In mobile vans, a liter of pasteurized milk was priced at Tk60, beef at Tk550, mutton at Tk800, dressed broiler chicken at Tk200 per kg and four eggs at Tk30.

Sales will continue from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until 28 Ramadan.

However, sales at two locations – Japan City Garden and Jatrabari – were suspended on Monday due to vehicle issues.

Khamarbari outlet supervisor Sanowar Hossain said some 100kg of beef, 20kg of mutton, 100kg of chicken, 1,500 pieces of eggs and 200 liters of milk were brought in today.

However, the beef sold out quickly as there was a huge crowd at the start. People from far away received 2 kg of meat instead of the usual amount.
