one thing I feel bad is, the 2nd and 3rd gears are very short... I often find myself changing between 2, 3 and 4 in traffic -- very irritating-- when I am supposed to be a Lord of the street!

The bike zone mechanic I know advised me NOT to use power/speed petrols during run-in period. He said they produce higher temperatures which is not very good for engine during run-in period. I am sticking to simple un-leaded petrol for sometime...

The gold colored parts look quite classy, but putting all of them on one bike will be like wearing gold rings on all 10 fingers. Just the brake and clutch levers will look cool

^^^ I got you...

you mean to say "don't make the bike look like Bappi Lahiri"... right?

Hey guys can you please answer the question below

can that number plate be removed from it's head to between head and tire ?

how much it will cost to get a better looking headlight for it ?

Krates : I think the current headlight looks fantastic. Any road side mechanic will remove the front number plate for you.
You can have the registration number stickered on the front mud-guard

Agree with you on the headlight... its cool!

Do you have any pics regarding the stickering on front mud guard? I have the same dilemma... I dont think front mudguard is a good place....

The brake & clutch lever in GOLD will look good only on an R E.
