  • Hey i'l check with my service center about that part tomm and ship it to you guys if its available...Mumbai is pretty well stocked as such but last week when I went to as for the Front Alloy Wheel they said it needs to be ordered and they have been waiting for 2 weeks now for parts because some other guy totaled his bike and needed stuff too.

    • @Sarban&Adises: Thanks for helping out with this part. I seem more bothered about it than my friend, but I guess that's what friendship is all about!
      Sarban, I always believe you should feel one with the bike. I feel that way with my R15, thats why I bought it. If you really like the RTR, I suggest you go in for it.

        The next time he will go and rip a Karizma or a P220. Guess what he would say after that.

          The point is i feel like me and the bike are one and the same .Thats the trademark of the RTR period.
          no offence brother but i am sure that the rtr guy was a bad rider or his bike wasnt properly mantained

            But does it have the stability of the CBZ-x? I doubt it!

            Anybody knows the top speed of the ZMA??
            The RTR will leave the CBZ-X far away on the highway. May be there's not much difference in top speed (again, with RTR on the higher side) but the bike sure reaches that speed much faster than the CBZ-X.

            -----
            Guys, my experience says that riding sporty stance bikes is a little more easier on the highway than in the city traffic. For such bikes you have to get your stance right and cannot sit straight with your elbows locked and weight on handlebars.

            Once you get the right stance, on a Highway you have far far less reasons to get off that but in City traffic with continuous flicking, braking, putting legs down, stopping, etc... you cannot maintain that good posture and will soon feel the discomfort.

            I'm telling this with experience of riding the RTR and R15 for sporty positioned bikes and quite a lot of commuterish bikes.

              Thats why Kriss didn't allow me to ride the Busa I guess-he didn't want me to sell my parents' house!

                Err more than the bike....I guess you need to change urself!

                You must exercise a bit, especially the back and shoulder to take the strain of long rides. And you must take breaks whenever possible!

                IMO, thats all upto your personal preference.

                PS: I am not preaching what I practice ....I usually don't do either of the above on long hauls!

                      OT: I meant even if man&machine (eg.Sarvajit&R15)can go on for longer, I felt that it is good to stop!

                      • Right Praful!! Whatever the bike you need to take gaps between and do move the joints inbetween. Even it is applicable for cars too.
