Dude,
If ur looking for Track oriented performance then R15 should be ur first option as it's designed for tracks and modifying an R15 and 220 is not that easy as both has ECU mapping that cant be changed as of now and i dont think so there are guys doing that, so u need to concentrate only on the engine mods like our JOEL did to his R15 and for that some needs serious brains as if u play the game wrong then ur in deep trouble.

So, the ideal choice would be ZMA which u can start off with some good free flow filters, Upjetting, Iridium plugs, Iginition cables, Quick throttles......etc...etc...

@dual disc 200 well i'm not lookin for minor mods i'm lookin for somethin wacky like our fellow member kushanth had done with his zma 170kmph on a zma, i'm concentrating 70%drag bike 30% street capable

@outworldly maniac no 2strokes cause it's hard to maintain as for 4strokes it's easier even if modded

samjha nahi!!
what are you saying ?

and ........ you cant have both track and street bikes as far as i know
ofcourse you can have fast street bikes.......

drags are a different thing altogether........
they are meant for race and race only
not commuting or for that matter even touring
drags only

sorry bro
dont know who kushanth is and neither about his zma

i dont have deep knowledge of bike tuning etc,,,,,,,,
you could refer some expert

but one thing i am sure
if you use DRAG in the real meaning
lemme tell you the properties of drag bikes as far i know
1. freaking fast pick up
2. do high speeds at any gear
i mean figures like 80 kmph in second gear , first gear ( speakly roughly )
and how do you expect this kinda bike to be street ride able
not possible

they have different kinda setting,,,,,,,,,

there are some bikes whose piston have holes in them after one , two , etc drag races.......... again how can we use them on street..... some high quality last long.. may be some more kms....... but dont think really long

the guy you talking about must have had street porting done on his bike
hence its fast........ although i doubt that 170kmph claim....
and also never heard of a multipurpose drag and street bike!!

ofcourse i am not referring to those monsters RD or rx or tzr which are crazy fast and hence serve drag purpose too..... but lose ofcourse
to bikes build specially for drag purpose

it seems some has misguided you or you have built some misconceptions

lets see what others say.,,,,,.
i may be wrong,,,, talking according to what i know
