[panther]

OT

Does anyone knows a biking school in mumbai?

[JD666]

google for a hero honda riding centre or a maruti suzuki training institute. they impart two wheeler training afaik.

[sierrafox]

better still i'd recommend you learn from any of your friends whom you know rides well. you'll learn much faster and easier that way

[TheDevil]

LOL yeah....better get a Thunderbird Twinspark and enjoy

Edit: Just checked Bajaj's website, have they excluded DTS-FI from the 220???

[JD666]

yes they have, it comes carburettored ( with one of the biggest carbs in the business ). and is faster in acceleration and top speed ( 144 kmph claimed by the company ). Though it does lose out in response and in gear acceleration.

[sierrafox]

basically the "new" 220 or the one which is being advertised as the "fastest indian" currently on the tv channels is the 220 DTSi (aka the non FI version)

The earlier 220 is also available but at a higher price than the non FI.

@Ad1 - what did u finalize on??

[Ad1tya]

^^ My GF wants me to buy a R15, but my Bank Account wants me to buy a Fazer or an FZ-S.

Lets see, buying new for sure.

[JD666]

do the down payment and get a loan for the remaining 30 grand or so for a year. ( R15)

[TheDevil]

OMG...Instead of going further with FI they go back to carbs!!
so long for the progress of the Indian Biking industry!!!

And is Yamaha going the Hero Honda Stickering Route??? The Fazer is nothing but an FZ with a Cover!! WTF Yamaha?!?!

[JD666]

its a fairing, atleast not a godawful sticker and color job, and IMO it looks the best on the FZ. Though i agree they shouldve done something to the engine ( something like the R15 or more powerful )

LOL! and its not green with the advertising campaign going as "new graphics, colored RVM's and other b.s that doesnt really matter rofl and it doesnt look butt ugly like the new zma

[TheDevil]

^is it that different?? Its quite similar, portraying the bike to be a tourer, whereas the engine and chassis of the bike is meant for everyday traffic commuting!!
Its just another marketing team at work..not very different from HH..

@JD- LOL HH doesn't only put stickers it has also done something very similar to the Karizma, remember the engine cooler !!
exactly, the FZ chassis has so much more potential!!!

@Thread- Anyone going the Yamaha route, please get an FZ16/FZS and not the "Fugly" Fazer, more-so to discourage the manufacturers from cosmetic changes and retarding the marketing machinery at work as much as possible, at-least out of our beloved Indian Biking scene!!
