Hi Ravi,
Where can I find BI October's issue in Hyderabad, somewhere near to Kondapur/Madhapur/Jubilee/Banjara Hills ?

Thanks!-

I think the selected portions of the fairing should have been finished off in black matte to give some relief to the large painted surface area of the said part. Besides that, it would also up the aggressive quotient of the front end.

What say?
Just my opnion.

No, no, thats single horn. Double horn goes breep breep

That seems pretty optismistic. Maybe on an empty street at 3 in the morning . Though I have eaten my own words before. Even if its true, then I wish HH could divert some of those FE to power instead.

ravi@17bhp

Agree with you. HH would do it next year with some sticker upgrades.

45kmpl in city? Whoa! A Fi system can make such a big change??

mmm..interesting. I was thinking on similar lines. The bulkiness may be visibly reduced and replaced with sharper lines. BTW the image posted by 'Synn' is looking pretty cool.

It seems hero honda has some other plans as it has not done anything as expected, may be its done on purpose as they dont want to give anything new to the bikers community, to be frank i was seriously thinking of upgrading to something more than the old karizma from my 100cc splendor but i am hugely disappointed, and i feel its better to buy a second hand karizma which was from the first batch before the R stickering as that was really a beautiful bike.

I feel may be in next 6 months the market will be taken over by the R15 and FZ16 as R15 has everything i feel except it looks small, but still i say at the price at what new karizma with FI is launched i think the R15 is the clear winner as in terms of mileage and all terms it stands close to the karizma today.

Here pulsar 220 has a advantage and that will sure win the market, but bajaj should not suddenly stop using the existing engine and try something new, as it always does instead if bajaj can go on refining the engine than there will be no bike in india which can touch to the P220.

They should follow the same strategy which maruti had followed in case of zen, and it came out as one of the best cars, bajaj was the best in scoooters and i think if it can be the best again in power bikes also

What do you have to say about the mileage indicator on a CBR 954? I just consider it as a feature to improve efficiency and should not be associated with 'mileage'. All the expensive cars have it, not because the driver cares about 'mileage' in particular.
