    Braking against two wheelers & four wheelers its depend on vehicle make & model in comparison, if high-end bike it can brake/decelerate much faster than any four wheeler(riding my R15 never faced any difficulty regarding that any car, bus or truck ,in fact much better than that. others high-end bike may also have same braking performance.)

    Now I tried to view look RVM after reading here its creating confusion, I mean front car brake than start with my brake i tried to see RVM also which creates confusion with front car also because change front -rear perspective confused me.

    Tried another method maintaining distance with front car so that my rear vehicle gets time/ road-space if i brake suddenly(my braking distance is much smaller than any normal 4-wheeler) but majority of time >80% time rear vehicle gets impatient and either honk OR try to overtake me OR some other vehicle tries to fill that gap, if get a chance.These other driver either don't care or dont' know the consequences, pure dumb or what i don't know. Now what can I do here??

      The honking thing will always happen. u can't help it
      But see, you 1st maintain some distance between the car ahead, and keep checking the RVM. Now when a vehicle approaches from behind, check if he is maintaining proper braking. and then when he stops and honks, u go close to the car standing in front of u. That way you can make sure that u don't get rear ended and avoid further honking

      Relationships change, evolve, and it goes deep.
      Only thing I can say - "The storm is coming"

If you are not used to seeing RVMs often then it will take sometime to get accustomed. Just use it for a second(just the eyeball movement on r15 and fazers) and get back to the front view. Dont start living in the rear world.

        Tried another method maintaining distance with front car so that my rear vehicle gets time/ road-space if i brake suddenly(my braking distance is much smaller than any normal 4-wheeler) You are scared of getting rear ended.. it usually happens after an accident that we start getting over cautious. Dont let it bother you.. if you can brake in time, use minimum space you require. Stop thinking too much about rear vehicle's braking power.
        but majority of time >80% time rear vehicle gets impatient and either honk OR try to overtake me OR some other vehicle tries to fill that gap, if get a chance.These other driver either don't care or dont' know the consequences, pure dumb or what i don't know. Now what can I do here?? An R15 getting honked!? You are not using it well! Sometime I get honked too.. but because of traffic and a dumb sitting on the steering. I just give him way and blow the honks back to him to make him realize there is no space! Some may call it road rage.. but I do it politely ;-)

          Normally it does not happen i drive faster then surrounding traffic (again as it is safety precaution to drive faster than surrounding traffic to be more safe.
          But now a days May be because accident or Perhaps ongoing Petrol Bhachao abhiyan (campaign on saving fuel) sometimes when i think a lots on expensive petrol.

          Good discussion here with suggestion I am trying all combination for safe driving( now a days I may be cautious but very soon i will be again flying fast but safe).

          I am new driver in the world of Biking only 30,000KM behind wheels, so need help, Here in XBHP i learned that driving fast & very fast is good BUT your safety is your most priority concern & respect others drivers, road is theirs too.

          Thanks any new suggestion are most welcome..waiting for new tid bits
