BHaaaaii Indiaaa,

IiiNNNNnnnnddddddiiiiiiiaaaaaa Plzzzzzz......

People are more used to the power/weight ratio than specific power o/p.

That's why I put the 'guess' phrase in brackets

A great bike and as you say, way ahead of its time. 15+ bhp 2-stroke, long wheelbase >1.5mtrs, 'shear-mounted' engine (mounted on springs and rubber dampeners to eliminate vibrations), 5-speed box with genuine over-drive ratios, 'day-flash' switch for the head-lamp, front disc, alloy wheels etc etc... And all this in the late 80's. Was WOW! then.

Quiz time children!
(Dont google..Be honest...You might get away on the web, but then wats the point..)

Kawasaki Eliminator

It came in 2001

My Explaination for my answer - Here question is disc as standard fittment. CBZ was also available with drum break. so as standard fittment it was firstly available in eliminator only.

Kinetic Hysong Comet

Not Indian Make ... It was assembled here..

My Explaination for my answer - here it has been asked for "sold in India" not "manufactured in India" so Hysong comet is right answer.

Ravi: I am not sure if the Fury came with drums as I havent seen any pics with drum. Also I am not sure if it intially came with discs & later with drums or a vice-a-versa.

Btw I think the first 'bike' with alloys would be Hero Puch Turbo. The Fury & others had diferent arrangements than spoke rims but not allow.
I may be wrong though

@ yes please do format your posts for quotes

confused in ravi's quotes

[QUOTE=ravi_afriend;115412]
Ravi Sir.. Appke quote smjh me nahi aarrhe hain...
konsa kahan hai..?? pls see and edit accordingly..

[quote=Technocrat;115405]@c_sbk: Bang on

ravi_afriend the first bike to sport disc brake wasnt CBZ or Elim but the Enfield\Zundapp Fury & IIRC it sported non Spoke rim too. -

I have seen one Zundapp with drum breaks. so here it was as standard fittment disc so the correct answer is eliminator as it was not available in drum breakes. correct me if I am wrong Technocrat.

Btw did the BMW F650 sport a rear disc brake? If yes then that would be the first bike to sport a rear disc

Joel: damn man now even I want to know which bike was this [/I remember BMW F650 was not having rear disc.]

JOEL is it..??? norton manx 500.. i can just take a guess..
cos i was not even born whn these were in india on roads...
These kinda bikes BSA / Norton / RD all were CKD imported,that is Completely Knocked Down Import,that is just the air pressure fuel and battery are fitted and the bikes are up and running...
Also they could develop this much power because their engine was hard chrome plated ..

And the hard crome barrels would last almost a lifetime. You wont need a rebore, just change pistons and rings. The barrel can even withstand a part seizure. It was a superb engineering masterpiece and too early for its time. Should have been launched atleast in the mid 90s. Would have made a lot more sense.

BTW LP could you find out which bike sported Disk brakes first time in India

Its not the SX enduro. The SX would get raped by a stock shogun itself. If I answer it here, then why is this quiz?

I am talking about the buzzy nature of the engineand the engine sound...
The Super Bike that is The Noisiest ..no ktm sha-t-m.. pls..
