2009 Speculation thread: What bikes could be launched?

[ken cool]

so my point is not that........ we are not getting any option of any sort (except for litre class)....... what if we have option....... then will market be the same........ I told earlier also, its like zebra n penguins........

enough of talking after lunch ......

I did not get a word of what you said in that post! But here I am to correct a couple of facts that I found mistaken...

1. BMW introduced its huge monsters in 1994 and NOT in the late 90s
2. Which two dinosaurs are you talking about from Kinetic? If you are talking about Aquila and Comet then let me tell you that for both motorcycles, priced at close to 2L 5 years ago, each and every bike imported were completely sold out in months of their launch, so fast that Kinetic could not keep up with the demand! So how come you are calling it a flop?

Thanx ...... I was not sure about BMW...... and about my mentioning of Dinos cause they were bigger...... n flop for those Indians and few Xbhpians who think success means selling in huge numbers....... it was a sarcastic comment........

I dont know if you guys realised.... but now that the P200 looks like the P220, I guess people are seeing the P200 tests and calling it the P220....

EDIT: It was anyways said that the P200 will be in both carb and an FI variants... so maybe this is it!

What i last heard from the PBK showrooms that the new 200 is not gonna b launched now...!! That rumour was just to take public opinion/reaction..!!

^^I guess P200Fi is always a "khayali pulao" and nothing more.

Waah..kya baat hai..!!

Oops! I think that sarcasm went flying past most of us xbhpians like a flying R1. And coming back to upgrades, I was one of the first to upgrade from my 180 to the Comet!

I also want to upgrade-or rather add up from R15 to Ninja250.

Ken da Why did you sell your comet.. It is much more powerful than a 220 is suppose...

Ok Kriss, doing it for you,
What do you want a 150CC Hayabusa or a GSXR150?

Hee hee hee ..... looks like Ken sir is on a posting spree, to catch me and Sarvajit !!

But I thght carbs were going the way of the dodo, once BS IV emission norms were enforced in India!! Or else they might have to add a second catalytic converter to meet emissions and that will further strifle the power and add weight !!
So whats the rationale in adding carb to their flagship P220 now, wich is considered special coz because of the FI!!

Maybe they shud upgrade the injector itself, mayb a six-hole injector or something !!
