General SBK Discussion Thread

They will work. Curious are you planning on having the 220 stand still for extended periods? or Bajaj's world class electricals are giving you issues already?

Not an issue. But my bike is lying untouched for days. It happens many times. Last time, the battery drained out. And it has no kick.

Buddy you don't have to say sorry to me. If you really mean it, I'd suggest go out, and say sorry to the Activa!! Seriously , I mean it!

And its not about owning an SBK or Activa. If you care for you machine and maintain her, she will reward you with years and years of service and fun !!

Hey i finally apologized to my activa and got it serviced today and man it runs much much better now.

My friend wants to buy a 07+ 600RR.
Now there are some used CBRs up for sale here.For around 6-7 Lakhs. I want to know what should he look for while buying the bike. So that he is satisfied about customs duties and all. My other friend who is going to link me up with the dealer says that the bikes are legal. But which papers should we check before buying any of this stuff?

Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.

Litre class shootout 2009

I wonder if anyone has noticed the litre class shootouts of the various magazines ! And all the magazines seem to be totally contradicting each other this year !
Have a look at this, Motorcycle.com says the CBR is still the best and the 09 R1 is the last !!!

But just over the atlantic Michael Neeves says that the 09 gsxr is slower than the R1 by more than 2 secs ! and says 09 R1 is the best.
The road test :

I think this places the heavy end of the suspension towards the bike. Mass centralization!

^^Wiki 'Unsprung weight'. Lower the unsprung weight, the better a vehicle handles. USD forks effectively reduce the unsprung weight and are hence the weapon of choice in superbikes !
