A pic of my Fiero's new dash. Thats my custom made tacho. Note the sigma reading 115.8 which was clocked in some 250mts in 3rd gear.

Top-speed has to come up in just about 450mtrs and its geared short. Engine hits 12k rpm effortlessly and can extend to about 13000rpm in neutral. On-road it hits 12k in every gear even before you realise.
Ya the bike is actually set-up to take it once to the track. It needs a stiffer rear springs and tyre change, its a Group B spec bike. Handling is way beyond what i expected, exactly like the TVS group B RTRs. Maybe I need a steering damper. It will be good fun to hit the track with this bike and I'll do that soon. Surprisingly I took a few corners with these skinny tyres and it felt more agile than the R15

Ok, the aluminium sub frame a little more exposed!

Joel, you are xBhp's very own in-house R&D specialist, engine builder. Kudos!! It has been long overdue that you posted about your beloved Fiero. What a great journey it has been for you.!

It was lovely reading the post.

It just gives me goose bumps trying to remember the first time I sampled out ur Fiero. I had come to Venu to convert my bike to a 180, and Venu suggested that I take a ride on ur bike. Shifted to first and man the rear was already spinning and it hit the rev-limiter in a jiffy. Immediately shifted to second only to find the rear trying to overtake the front. That was it. I parked the bike and did not have the courgae to ride it longer. I just could not believe that there was someone capable enough to ride this monster in horrendous Bangalore!! THAT in itself speaks volumes about ur riding capabilities, Joel!!! May the Fiero keep ever-eveolving as u explore its limits further.... ALL THE VERY BEST!!!

P.S: Sorry if this resembles an Orkut testimonial to any of u

You are the MAN. the work you have done on your engine is simply superb. honest clapping for you.

And get a rear disk as well an. such a fast machine surely needs better braking.

He will say that will add weight..

And this bike is to go fast not to stop

@Pranay, Apar, sherry - Thanks man.
Apar, the bike would spin the rear coz of truck-load of torque. My rear tyre would wear out in some 6-7k kms itself

@mithun - Indeed it will add weight. I need to trick that front disc itself to loose some weight.
