Exactly! I did a Phd on all the bikes available in India, i'm sure if you were to take a test then i would get distinction :-D

I didn't reject Thunderbird for it is expensive or heavy or something, i rejected it because it was not the bike for me (i respect it a lot though). It's just, that bike isn't meant for me, my preferences differ.

And from my Phd on bikes i learnt that choosing a bike is like choosing a wife literally. Every bike out there is good infact awesome, they have their own pros and cons and every bike is made for someone, not for everyone like gearless scooters.

Choosing between Thunderbird and Stunner was like choosing between an arrange marriage with a extremely Rich, Beautiful queen and a Love marriage with your Best friend. I initially chose the queen but i lost peace of mind, happiness, but now i got it back after choosing a love marriage with a best friend :-D

I considered every bike available (manufactured) in India - right from Splendor, Passion Pro, Discover 100 till P220, R15, CBR250R, Thunderbird.

But it all finally came to what my heart said - Stunner! Mind had okay'd thunderbird sacrificing happiness.

My mom had said never sell thunderbird and i had said yes (i was skeptic about that and not content) and my heart always said never sell Stunner and i scream YES! :-D

If you are buying Stunner, I would advise you to go for the FI version, even if it is expensive. It has better looks, lesser vibrations, better rollon timings, better speeds in each gear, more FE, and lesser emissions.

No Fi looks tiny and no graphics. The 2010 carb stunner is my choice. I can do a lil mod and get the performance of Fi (sprocket, spark plug, jetting etc..) btw no discount for lesser emmissions.

Booked a Red Stunner (2 hours ago).

When i went there and asked about booking the Stunner, the demo guy was like "Take twister, it gives a good mileage too, has good pick up, would you like to test ride?" and i firmly replied "No, I want Stunner" and he said "which color". I said "Red". They said "Red has a waiting period of one month, take yellow you'll get it in 3 days or from April 1 prices are rising" and i looked at mom. She said firmly "no yellow, only red, we can wait".

And when i asked Fi, The manager said - "It's not available, production has been stopped, we can't book it" and i wondered "Just since when and why did HMSI stop production of it's super hit flagship export bike?" and thought "Just because they don't have the stock, they say production has been stopped" and i loled :-D
