@Fireblah
Very nicely put there Fireblah. Only a person who has experienced both the bikes can give such insight, and you are probably the best person to comment on the difference here!! Both the bikes have carved there own niche amongst bikers and the final say really rests on personal choice and ability to handle each of them.

But I'm pretty sure, that first riding the Fireblade and now riding the R1, you are a pro already

@strider
Try Bridgestone BT010. Not the right guy to comment here but I've heard good things about BT010 from some of my friends abroad. Again, not sure if it's available in India.

The BMW S1000RR makes 190 ps at rear wheel!

So the engine must be producing atleast 200 ps of power!!

The BMW S1000rr makes 191 bhp at crank and around 183.1 at the rear wheel.

Pilot powers are fantastic in the wet. they are a sport/road tyre so are essentially a dual purpose tyre. however dont expect them to hold up as well in the wet as you do in the dry

Yeah iam aware of the BT010, so the next tyre-change would be the bridgestones

csgup1 · 06-16-2010, 08:04 PM

Those bridgestones are pretty ordinary compared to the powers for grip but will give much better milege

I just have a question related to the road tax on SBKs. Eg: If an SBK is registered in MH and I want to use the same in Bangalore. Do I need to pay the road tax in Bangalore as well. Or is it just one time tax.

I heard that a bill was passed regarding this. That one time tax paid in any state is enough to use your ride anywhere in India.

Just want a clarification on this. Thanks
