Shouldn't we be asking for bikes with better safety features like ABS and better fuel efficiency than just wanting more engine displacement?

bro..its not just about the 90 kmph speedo reading..its how you fast get to that 90kmph...and how fast you can bring that down to 0 kmph...
and moreover, more displacement just doesnt mean that you are plugging in a bigger engine into a existing frame...a whole lot of safety and handling tweaks will be in place to support it..of course, efficiency is a matter of concern..
havent you noticed how successful the pulsar 200 is?...its the combination of the power, the goodies and the efficiency that makes a great bike..
no hard feelings bro...just spoke my mind..
