well moderators please decide if the thread is to be moved, i am ok with whatever is suitale to the members, put it up here cause Fireblah had done a great job on his thread inthe superbike section, thought i would focus more on the ownership experience,hence.

Oh i just finished my "running in" which is 500km in this bike that too dont red line is the one liner warning by honda--they really put a lot of faith in thier engin.
Althought my current ablity and riding condition donot warrent a red line for some time soon

.

@Nitro - i have had a mixed response. personally the bike is saml and lacks presence of a superbike. It is sized similar to my pulsar a little wider. there are some pics on one fireblah thread with karisma p220 judge for yourself.
although funny story in my office parking lot people could not find it

my parking has about 10 rows of 30 bikes and 4 exciteded people went down to have a look at the bike, it was quite funny, i had to finally point it out.

i guess this is more to the large presence of the r15 at a quick look the bike gets overlooked esp since i have avery dull grey color - fireblah has a golden rim with warrent more attention.
the other day parked outside barista along with a '03 fierblade this'09 was totally ignored, in fact even i thought that the 03 is an awsome looking bike with red and black color sceme..

frankly it is a nice thing as one doesn't like too much attention in india janta is a fiddley lot, only when parked long enough does it start to attract attendtion, you need one curious onlooker to snowball others

.

Done no significant rides so far to write about just commutes here and there , i am getting more comfortable with the bike, one notable diffrence is one is scared to tilt the bike too much thus tending to take larger curve while cutting in traffic or turning, i thik it is a matter of getting faith or adjusting the suspensions.

the rear shock has now started to bounce a bit on the small undulations of the india roads, i plan to make fiddle witht the setting of the rear and make it a twist softer, been reading up a bit on that on some website.
well let you all know how that goes.

@fireblah - done anthing with your suspension settings? sad could not catchup with you and give you a comparision ride..next time perhaps.
