    Btw Christo which bike do you own? i hope you know there is a huge difference between R15V2 and a Fazer150!
    Sorry guys but i cant take crap.

      Peace :beer:

      Edit: I converted your 'grunt' into 'vibey' because after riding r15 the apache felt it had more 'grunt'. In reality ..not really, all that vibration makes people (at lest me) think that way.

        Very True- "Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however, extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity."

        I like- "Bikes are not supposed to be a rational decision. If you can park it and walk away without looking back to admire it, you got the wrong one."

          For example: Eshan weighs 100 kgs and Kuntal weighs 30 kgs. At a particular rpm eshans bike runs at 127 kmph while kuntals bike runs at 140kmph at the same rpm.
          The above is not purely theoretical but was experienced by us on a ride.
          Brother i realy liked your sentence" If you dnt look back to admire your bike after parking, you have got a wrong one."

Its the manufacturer and the designing elements that aid handling. Look at the best in class S1000RR , even the new GSXR has lost one silencer and have just one. Doesnt that put weight on one side?? Well it doesnt. Thats why manufacturers take years to design a machine capable of superior handling.
              . Forget the balance bro don't think we can fit any kind of underbelly exhaust for r15 or any other bike which doesn't have the same from the stock because if we do it'll become a lowrider

These guys are ready to ignore the functional aspect. Case in point being a friend who got a second hand R15 v1 and swapped to a 100 section front and 130 section rear.That motorcycle handles scary, even its scary to ride her around town. He ignores all my statements regarding the stock tires says he needs more grip, that the stock tires tend to ''skit''[lol]
              Some people don't bother about performance or handling they just want the looks and also if one rides a badly balanced bike gradually after a week he'll feel its a perfectly balanced bike only if other guys ride that bike then they'll have their hearts in their mouth

                    true! Engine rpm is proportional to the bike speed. That proportion is decided by the gear u select. At 100kmph the engine rpm would be same in 6th gear regardless of the weight of the rider or inclination or any other restriction.
                    Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                      I disagree. i have not calculated the degrees and other stuff, but i can say that it does affect. maybe minor changes wont. and also due to extra weight ( i mean pillion weight) the time taken to reach the same speed will increase.

                        That's totally right mate, the time it will take for the bike to reach xx speed will increase with the additional weight, but... @R-series and I are not talking about acceleration, we're talking about the speed/RPM ratio, which doesn't vary regardless of weight and/or inclination.

                        The only variables that affect that ratio are the sprocketing, tire size and worn out clutch plates.

                        Cheers and I'm aiming for this baby, even though the P200NS has been launched here at a pretty good price (the same of P220) I still think I'll grab the R15. Then maybe if the P350 is FI and proves to be worthy, I might get that one but let's wait and see.

                          I too Agree with you..
                          I don't know If i am right or wrong, but I think the efficiency of the air-fuel mixture (in carb bikes of course, and mine being a P200NS) do factor in to decide the speed done in a bike at a particular RPM.

                            Wrong. It is a fixed ratio w.r.t. RPM. The easy way to change it is using different sprockets. If it changes on its own, its time you changed the clutch.
                            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.

                              when your reffering to "time" taken to reach a speed, that is acceleration. What we are referring to is engine rpm to vehicle speed. irrespective of whatever load, friction or restriction the vehicle encounters...engine rpm will be same at for eg. 100kmph for a particular gear.

                              consider this..1 rider 70kg - 6th gear - 100kmph shows engine =6000rpm
                              2 riders 140kg - 6th gear - at 100kmph shows engine speed = 6000rpm and not 5000 or 7000.

                              when I had the R15, it never crossed 130kmph with pillion, but the engine rpm will be the same when a solo rider hits 130kmph in the same gear.
                              Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                                at constant speed, torque is proportional to mass. Hence if mass increases, torque required to push the mass will increase. Now assuming engine power remains the same, torque is inversely proportional to rpm. So rpm will drop but in fact the engine power never remians constant. Hence, both speed and rpm will drop. To go to that speed again you'll have to increase the rpm.. All this considering if you add the weight while riding. But RPM and speed have a linear relation. So at same RPM same speed irrespective of the weight., only the acceleration will decrease( if that has to be taken into consideration )
                                Mass= (rider+bike)
                                Keep Calm and Kaam se Kaam

                                To all those how-to-run-in-the-bike-oh-it's-so-confusing. Here's an advice.
                                Read and follow the OWNER's Manual. Keep it simple.. Old School technique will do more good than harm your bike
