This whole discussion polarizes people into 2 groups and in many ways is totally irrelevant. Brand loyalties skew most peoples' view and we can keep arguing till the cows come home without any concrete conclusion to this topic.

What should matter is which bikes contribute to the cause of motorcycling. Lets face it, motorcycling is more a means of transport than a life style in our country. Has Pulsar changed that view? Has Yamaha R15 fired the imagination of people and made them go to showroom to consider buying a bike for more than just transporting them from point A to B? Have these bikes made you consider hopping on to a bike when you have a choice between a car and bike?

Superbly put... this thread is going no where but into the ultimate realms of fanboyism!

Sorry for OT

Aye! Aye! sir, 2 groups it has to be. Only two brands were mentioned in the title. Add more brand and you'll see more groups

Irrelevant?? well, I'll agree that no conclusion can be arrived at. Same for religion, peace, war, love, , pphilosophy, environmental issues.....name it. Theres nothing under the sun that all people can agree completely. Including your comment "Irrelevant". I don't agree .

Brand loyalties are true for some to an extend. Completely true for some, yet non issue for others. I will not deny I have some soft corners for certain brands, though I'm not fanatical by any stretch of imagination. However my brand loyalty ironically does not extend to the Indian motorcycle scene. My brand is loyalty is ... sniff...sniff Ferrari .

Anyway, the fact that my wife raised both eyebrows when I toyed with the idea of purchasing an FZ demonstrate that Yamaha has youthful image. And I though I look pretty young .

Pity... you favorite brand is 'Ferrari' and not a Triumph or Bimota or M V Agusta or Norton or .......

That you were inspired to go to a showroom to consider buying a bike for more than just commuting from point A to B says everything about this subject. I rest my case .

Aye! Aye! again . A bike to take me from A to B it has to be, thats all I can afford. Unfortunately my passion and my wallet does not agree .

As far as "Brand loyalty" is concern, which you took the liberty to described it as "my Favorite", I see the two differently. Though its another subject entirely.
