    [SlideShow]: An Ideal Bike For You

    So, almost everyone here has a bike. Ok - alter-ego. And we love our machines so much that we can't even withstand a single word against our machine. But, while searching for a new bike, all of us has gone through dilemmas. Reason - we had to make some compromises for each and every choice we had. We finally settled for the one which asked for least number of compromises from us. Isn't it?
    Everyone has his/her dream bike/scooty. But, if given a choice, what would have been the ideal bike for us? The answers will surely vary. Something which suits me might not suit Mr. A and vice-versa. Now, all of us don't want a VMAX/HAYABUSA/HP-4. So, if you were given a choice to dictate the specifications(like engine capacity, bhps, torque, gears, tyres, brakes, electricals and of course the expected price in Indian currency) of your bike, what
    would you have given?
    A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

    Re: An Ideal Bike For You

    Approved!

    A few threads exist for determining the best bike for commuting/touring. Yours is more in general, hence a new thread!

    As [MENTION=26407]aargee[/MENTION] once posted, a rider has his needs, requirements and his wants. All these are 3 different things.

    My wishlist is a 250+ cc 1+ cylinder bike with 30+ hp and ABS.
    Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
    Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!

        I always dream of a 4 stroke version of legend RD 350. Would prefer to own a Yamaha 350 cc, 4 stroke (preferably 2 cylinders) bike with atleast 30 bhp power, if launched in india. I also want the bike to look exactly like simple yet gorgeous RD. I hate too many fairings ! And of course disk at front .

              I'd like a caliber with 250cc single cylinder liquid cooled engine tuned for cruising on highways. Brakes should be 260mm front and 220mm rear discs. The headlights should be 55/60w with option for 100/90w bulb. Seating should remain unchanged as it's the most comfortable bike I've ridden so far. Gears should be slightly tall 6 speeder. Exhaust sound must remain the same as original bike. Fuel injection is welcome for sure. Tyres must be 90 up front and 130 at rear. Optional touring accessories must be available. Fuel tank capacity should be above 14 litres.

                          My Ideal bike - Honda CBR 250 with Naked styling and proper exhaust note. I hate the Juicer Grinder type sound. Too smooth a sound for a bike big as this. Heck my RTR sounded much better. And a little taller 1st gear will be icing on the cake for city rides.

                            My ideal bike is Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500, factory-fitted with alloy wheels, tubeless tyres, 15V charger with 15A socket for my portable tyre inflator, LCD indicator for fuel efficiency, gear indicator, etc. I think, I am daydreaming.

                              A Royal Enfield with Kawasaki like build quality and reliability, 60 or so ponies, oodles of torque, minimal vibrations, great handling, brakes with great bite and feel and priced like KTM-Bajaj bike.
