    Dude.. Caliber 115 was Hoodibaba!! Not Wind 125!!:

    P.S.: I am Caliber-115 ex-owner (Sold it 2.5 months back)
    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

          • The Best of lot..

            Fazer

            CBZ ( I have always loved this name..and from this very name I came to know that we can pronounce Z as zee )

            Apache (nice funky and restless name for a restless bike which is always ready to run)

            KARIZMA (its not that difficult to go for a fancy sounding all english word..but I believe that a bike like KArizma..which is of such a high standard..had been coined a name which shows it's Indian origin..I mean..this name gives a lot indianess to the product..PROVIDED..ppl pronounce it properly )

            Kawasaki RTZ (do i need to tell any reasons for this?? )

            Worst 5 name

            Platina

            Splendour NXG (as if some new DHOOM type bike is on the streets with that very word NXG)

            XCD now wht this yaar?? people still pronounce it as EX-SEE and D as if Bajaj guys were in hurry to keep some name for this bike..rubbish one.

            Glamour..man this sucks big time..is it a bike or a scooty??

            ALBA..is it a name of a bike...???? crap..

            • @Rahul, you are damn rite. If not anything else, the CBZ made people spell out 'Z' as 'Zee' from 'Sed' / 'Ezed' /'Jed' etc.

                        The worst of course. Worse than the Karishma. Now don't you Dazzler owners come bashing at me.

                        I myself own a Dazzler

                            But, tell me..so many ppl like "Bullet" name...does the bike really go like a bullet..has it come upto its name..
                            To be honest, it's not as fast as bullet, but it has bullet proof engine and Bulldozer characteristics. Plus it does get the job done in style.
