      @Aryan: Superb write-up dada. Looks like Yammie's R-bikes have an eternal fan in you.
      After reading your review, i'm convinced that the '09-'10 One is something groundbreaking indeed.
      Welcome back! Am glad you posted. Yes, the 09-10 version is INDEED something very special and different. And I LOVE the R-series of bikes from Yamaha, especially if it says "R1"!

          Finally I got to see the photographs. Some SUPERB work there with the lens. Great going Aryan. Now it is time for a Ducati shoot and First Impressions. When is that coming up?
          The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

            As soon as I get my hands on the machine, dada. You know how it works, although I am not at all inclined for a Ducati, but when it comes to a nice photo-shoot, I seldom miss it!

            P.S: Thanks, am glad you liked my work.

                    Awesome photos Aryan!
                    BTW does NISSIN make brakes for R1? I read somewhere that the same makes for our very own ZMA! Is it true?

                      yes your are right brother. The ZMA is also equipped with nissin 276mm disk brakes at the front.

                          Awesome writeup and captures Aryan!!

                          Well I noticed that the rider was a tad short of the proper riding gear!!

                          I had one question in mind though - with the throttle response being 30% lesser in B Mode, is there any difference in the ride quality between say the Standard Mode and B Mode??
                          Twist your wrist and feel the shift!!

                            @cs: Yes, Amit is yet to get full set of riding gears, which he would be procuring really soon. As for the 'ride quality' in different modes, I really don't see any difference in the ride quality per se with the different modes! The modes are only supposed to have an effect on the engine performance, that's about it!

                              Sweet!! That means even though the throttle is less responsive in B Mode, I don't miss out on the fun while I learn to tame the lioness

                              The S1000RR did an even smarter job with it's D-Mods - in Rain Mode, they actually restricted the Power Output to 150bhp... which again by our standards are explosive!! And for the rest of the D-Modes, they restricle the throttle input like the R1!!

                              Amazing how these monsters come equipped with such taming mechanisms
