here in delhi every one ask about cbr which bike is this 500 cc hai kya some says its modified r15

every one asks about its price 1st i always says 1.60 to bolte hai bus 1.60 even platina wala says that

then they ask about milage i always say that its only giving 15kmpl then they says bhai is se achi to splander lele ta wo achi average deti hai

do cbr complete wid splander

and most of says are its not looking gud is se achi to ninja hai wo lene chayea thi. 1.60 and 3 lac dosent matters to those idots.

I was once asked by this guy on a traffic light when I was on my R15.
The guy asked me..is this imported?..i said no.
He said how much..I replied 1 lakh 5 thousand, he then asked me..whats the 1 lakh for? I replied - its for people to ask questions about it
by that time the light turned green..and the guy was still wandering about what I said

I used to pull FZ16 owners' legs by taunting them "oye rehne de, stand lagane ki kya zarurat hai, itne mote tires hain bike waise bhi nahi giregi" (No need to put the bike's stand as it has got such fat tires)

Sir?? Its alright. Maybe he has his own set of dreams which may be fulfilled by 1 lac only. Anyway, ride on!

sir, honestly speaking, i was not trying to make fun out of that guy. in fact i myself am from a lower middle class family and 1 lakh rupees is a huge amount for me too... i actually had to beg for 2 years to get this bike. i was just puzzled at the thought of getting settled in life with 1 lakh rupees because i remembered Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Suggestions to me : Bhai saab jitne me aapne bike li hai utne me gaadi aa jaati..
My attacking Ans... Sir g Gaadi to aa jaati , Feeling kaha se aati ... :P

I faced three question about my humble FZ16.
1>does the tank hold 20 liter of petrol?
ans: no 12 liter.
2>Is it a 250cc?
ans:153cc
3>Then how can a 150cc be able to carry the fat rear tyre?
ans: :O

^+1... just shows the difference between desire and need .......

Yes it seems funny but atleast don't make fun of the poor guy. Yes, 1 lakh rupees is a huge amount for that guy and thats why he said like that.

this incident happened when i had been to my native village for ayudha pooja in last year. i was coming back to the city from the village and stopped by a road side tea shop for tea and smoke. just when i pulled over, 3-4 villagers came to see the bike (i ride a r15) and started asking regular questions like how much does it cost, what's the top speed, mileage, and all... one guy later came and asked me the same old question-
villager - saar, ee bikege estu kotri? (sir, how much did you pay for this bike?).
i propmtly replied - 1,15,000/-.
guess what he commented next? - saar, nam hatra ade ondu laksha iddidre nam life settle agibidtittu... (sir, if i had the same one lakh with me, i would have got settled in my life...)
saying this, he walked away thinking of his stars leaving me puzzled..

this happened with me few minutes earlier i was standing at a tea shop enjoying tea and smoke and since my city has only 5 cbr's so people gathered around my bike and were curiously looking at it....a person there said that this is cbr hero honda cbz's bigger cousin with big engine and also said that one cannot accomdate 4 people on cbr as he can on his cd delux....he asked how much i replied 187000....and this is the most hilarious part.....he said with this money he would buy autorickshaw and move his family in it and work in dayand he also said that his cd delux has more pickup than cbr....i said !@#$#@$##@@##.......@!#$@#%^$&$^if you don't know then don't say anything and went away......one more instance a guy riding splendor came besides me and asked about the price when i told him the price he just lost the balance of his bike and escaped from falling....

That was epic....atleast ur gf found the hilarity in the question......mine would join the watchman in asking the same question

This happened to me on my CBR when I had to visit, along with my girl friend, a common friend.

Stopped the bike at the gate of the building. Watchman comes up and asks where we wanna go and we let him know but he doesn't know. So GF calls up her friend to take her flat details etc. In the meanwhile, the radiator fans starts and upon hearing the noise the watchman, with a serious look on his face,

'Is main AC hai kya? (this bike has an AC) and he really had an astonished look on his face. He even put his palms near the big gap between the tank and the handle bar to feel the AC.

So I directed him towards the engine where the heat was felt. He immediately said, 'aapne heater kyon lagwaya hai bike main, mumbai main thode hi itni thandi padti hai ki heater ki jaroorat hai'.

My gf couldn't control it and burst out laughing. The watchman was visible bemused and possible embarassed that madam was laughing at him.

On second thoughts, why honda why, why did you put a heater in the bike!

It happen always with me. One guy ask me after seeing my P220F " Ye modification kahan karwaya? " I told him it's a P220 but he does not want to believe at all he thinks it's a Pulsar 150 with some local modification

not exactly crazy comments but some irritating ones from my end

i booked a R15 V2 and my colleague who kept on saying why not a second hand car starts asking...

guy : (after hearing its price), why does it cost that much?
me : its a performance machine
(after many annoying questions...)
guy : what mileage does it give
me : around 40
guy : oh only 40? then its not a performance bike
me : -silent-

as i read somewhere - don't argue with idiots, they will drag you to their level and beat you with their experience

Just wanted to share this:
Some 5/6 days back, on my way back from office, I was stuck at the Red Signal (at E.M. Bipass - Sience City Xing, Kolkata) along with 6-7 more commuters. We were standing ahead of the 4 wheelers at the Stop Line.

Just then a Hayabusa (white) came from behind & stood infront of us - crossing the stop line. People started discussing about the bike & it's engine sound.

guy1 (in Pulsar 150 to his pillion): (doesn't know the name of the bike) says in bengali "this is the bike shown in DHOOM"
guy2 (in Splendor): "it sounds like aeroplane, because it has 2 gas pipes" he means dual exhaust.
guy3 (ols man in scooter): "must be very costly"
guy1: "more than 12 Lacks"
guy2: "What is the point in buying such bike in Kolkata - no good roads. At least 3 cars would have come in this price. just wastage of money "

The signal turns green & before we could hit the intersection ahead, the Busa crosses it & zooms away. Rest of the bikers (including me) crosses the intersection & again get stuck in a solid Trafic Jam & find the sexy Hayabusa once again. It was stuck as well.

Guy2 : "Even with 12 Lack worth bike, he is no faster than us" - pointing out at his own old, shattered Splendor - with pride

Rest of the bikers positioned themselves on either side of the Hayabusa to have a close view of the bike.

Guy3 : (old man in scooter): Now just beside the busa could not hold his curiousity any more + a disire to talk to a 12 lacks worth bike owner, "Hello, how much did it cost you?"
Busa guy: very surprised with the direct question, - gazed here & there - removed his helmet & after a moment finally replied. "it's around 15 after tax & insurance"
Guy3 : "You mean 15 Lacks?" very loudly.
the busa guy just noded.
Guy3 : very innocently "what mileage are you getting?"

Now, at this question, I (just behind the old man) could not resist myself any more & bursted into laughter (not at the old man - because he was simply idiot, but at the busa guy - thinking what he must be feeling at this question)

The busa guy (hearing my laughter) turned around at me - he looked quite puzzled - found no suitable answer for this old fellow - stared at him for a quite a while and finally without replying took shelter inside the full mask vega helmet & never even took off the visor though gossips continued (the bike hits a max speed of 500 kmph, police should not allow these bikes within the city, etc. The Pulsar guy even commented that his speedo is actually much better - digital) till the traffic liquidated.
