Bull or a Stallion? - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

desideep · 04-24-2009, 09:03 PM

I have been thinking too much these days. The bullet was a amazing partner. Me and KAKA jee Bullet wale made good friends cause of my bullet cause most of my week ends were spent at his place sorting out things. Now cause my bullet is gone into someone elses abode KaKa jee misses me cause I don’t get to go frequently to his place and I do miss his spiritual talks and all that’s stuff.
OK THAT’S ENOUGH
Let me come to the point.
This year it is going to be big for me as planed by DCS we have 3 major rides.
LEH
GOLDEN QUADRAL
IRON BUTT THINGI.
I know that I cant do the iron butt thingi on the bullet cause of the low speeds. Then the GOLDEN QUADREL is again not posible in the time that we have plan.
Now I am more interested in a BULLET . but ZMA seems to be the best one. Please suggest me and help me out

Topic Approved.

Frankly, I cannot associate you with anything other than either an RX or a Bull. But since you have given us to choose, I would personally love to see you get a ZMA, and complete Leh this year, on it!

thanks a lot Aryan, yes even some times i feel that i have contained my self to the bullet and rx. but i need to get out of the container now. i think that i should buy both the bikes get a bullet and a ZMA. the only thing that i dont see in the ZMA is the sitting stance that they have. i kinda dont feel comfy with it does any one has some pics of bikes been modified on the ZMA frame and engine?

DD: go in for the ZMA.....and then lets get together to solve its 'mis-firing' issue at anywhere above 10,000ft. The altitude issue apart, its the tourer.

i never knew that it missfires aswell. why my lord why with me why do i have to have a 1985 Chetak that missfired like any thing, why my bullet (initial days) missfired to its glory. my yamaha oh thank to the almighty that it stoped missfiring and

SIR OF does that mean that this is a sigh that i may have another vehicle that would missfire on me ...

:P

mutual sympathy there....Yes it does misfire and I spent 2 full days in Solang trying to rectify it during my last ride to Spiti (was 2-up with my wife) but the problem persists. Never had it though with all other bikes I've ridden to high altitude. Did Leh on my KB100 Delta way back - no issues, none with the old-model CBZ, neither with Pulsar 180 DSTi V1. It is only the ZMA and the CBZ Xtreme (I was told) that suffer.

This is a 'fact' that you will get a bike that misfires again....but it is also a fact that our collective efforts will banish 'misfiring' from both our lives thereafter. Amen!!

Come on yaar why did you even post a thread for this.

It has to be a zma ,no second thoughts please.

HydBiker · 04-24-2009, 10:09 PM

so, there is the jinx - listen to the heart or listen to the thought (brains)...

I support what your heart says - go with the Bull.

Desideep: I rode ZMA for nearly 5 years, and now for the last little over 2 years, I am riding a Bullet Electra 5S. So I have lots of experience with these bikes as I have done more than lac kms between these two. However, I haven't toured yet!

Still, if I have to tell u which to go for....I'll say Karizma anytime, anyday over any RE. There was a time when I was crazy about owning a bullet, and this led me to own Electra 5S. Though I don't regret my decision but yes, I will never buy one again! I have my reasons for it.

You can definitely go for Karizma, its a great bike having an extremely capable engine among Indian bikes. It will do 100kph all day without a sweat which no bullet would do

I know its very tough to choose from RE and ZMA, even though ZMA will be an ideal choice but I guess you would miss the RE Thump
