Is this forum older than facebook?

It is not old, Facebook is younger hahah. xBhp started in 2002, I was too lazy to join till 2004.

1. when the bike started i was suprised with smooth but still deeper engine note then duke

You didnt feel the Extra Vibrations communicated to your hand , surprising. 2. when on the move bike felt surprising light almost as much as duke

You Find 165kg same as 125kgs, Woow!! 3. neutral was extremely easy to find specially so after struggling to find one on duke

NiranjanVaidya, also said, it was damm easy to find it in Traffic, I didnt find any problem. 4. gear shift were precise, not even needed that fast unlike duke

That means DUKE has a faster power band, Yes we all know that 5. riding posture was more front biased compared to duke, but i like it that way as i feel it gives more control over bike, my personnal opinion

Oooohh YES!!!! After every 50kms you will stop to give rest to your FIST, Back, and legs, DUKE atleast has a leg gaurd to keep your legs on it after 200kms non stop riding to comfort :P

My Take in BOLDs

The FZ Eater:

Guys granted maverick1 has his share of qualms with the KTM but finds the disadvantages of the CBR 250R much to his liking...when compared to the K™. This is after all forum and I guess we should not pound him for expressing his concerns...Let's face it guys the K™ is a naked street bike
..and in a country obsessed with Fairing wala bikes it will always have more haters than lovers for a long time to come...till then enjoy being the only kid on the block with the K™ 200 Duke!!! I love the exclusivity of this bike!!! It takes a lot of knowledge about what makes a bike perform for someone to buy this bike, so congrats to all who made this Bold choice in the K™ 200 DUKE!!!

+1.. He's unnecessarily being cornered.

Btw, you had your swingarm chipped off at delivery (?), is it replaced now?

**ABikerAtHeart** · 03-19-2012, 04:41 PM

A mobile version is the need of the hour.

Dont understand why even a quick reply quotes the complete post. Wouldnt quoting juz "1st 4-5 words......last 4 5 words" be better?

Spiralbrain: The thought juz occured; what if Noor had started facebook instead back then.

l.p.: Those are so not 'uncle-moves', Sir. Brilliant photography,brilliant riding skills. Anything to do with California School of Superbiking (I cant remember the right name)?

How many times does a one can of ( motul lube + motul chain cleaner ) can be used on duke ..

My service center charges me 65 rupee per chain lubrication .. just calculating which comes cheaper

Santosh Just buy a can each of 3M chain cleaner and wet grease spray and clean/lube the chain at will.

What?? All of them have a chipped swing arm? Must be something seriously wrong with the way they unload the bikes!

Motul chain lube works to Rs 520 & chain cleaner about Rs 450 or so per can; both put together is Rs around Rs 950-970. Cleaner will last nearly 10 sprays or less per can if you use liberally to get the sparkling look every time (note than your wiping clothes/cycles are reduced by this method). Lube will last for about 12-14 times on spraying liberally.

Note that the word liberally means, twice the amount of what ASC does or say lubing the chain link by link with utmost care (the regular ASC does not do this type, they usually spray off in wide & I hope you understand how) & cleaning is until the dirt drops off from chain links you almost use a very small piece of cloth to get back the original color of the chain; you'll understand this more, if you're used to clean it up yourself.

For me its like 970/(say 12 times) = Rs 80, which is Rs 15 more, but, I know I use the best product in the market.

Oh!!! and again, Motul lasts better than the Wurth (Reinhold) & each lubing interval is nothing less than 1300-1500 odd Kms. So ideally a can purchase lasts for, say about 10K Kms.
