I was returning from my business place,complete in executive clothes,needed to refuel,last time I refueled(4 liters),it was 2 weeks ago
, as I got into the fuel pump and asked for the guys to refuel my bike........these bikers started looking at my bike and passing comments.....good ones
,but the Pulsar150 guy made the comment that his bike is hard to beat,then the Dazzler guy told that his bike is same as the Pulsar too.The two guys on the Bullet told them that they know my bike and it was the only one of its kind in the entire eastern part of my city and soon their discussion grew into topics which included,my personal life speculations and had words that I am just a coward regular guy.I started my bike and wanted to go out of the petrol pump and one of these guys intentionally took a U-turn and blocked my way pretending to get out of the petrol pump first.Then I slowly maneuvered away and was going to take a left turn home,when the bullet came out of my left and I had to avoid hitting it,the pillion shouted that I dont know how to ride...........Well that was enough to forget how valuable was my life.I sped up and kept Honking(I have installed Hyundai Santro dual horns on my GS
) at their back and disturbing them and guided them away to the nearest city highway........They kept following me in their foolish desire to prove that they are the men.Just I was on the almost empty afternoon Highway,I slowed down.........The Pulsar150,Bullet,Dazzler and 135 started accelerating hard.....I can hear their machines,then I downshifted to 2nd at 35kmph,revved the GSR all way to 9500rpms,I heard the rev limiter hitting in......Kak kak kak ,upshifted....the bike launched with a pace that almost unsettled its front wheel,then it did 106kmph in fourth gear......now it was feeling like the Pulsar220DTSFi,..........I happen to like the Pulsar220 bike very much and its very thought got me more aggressive,I upshifted to 5th in redline with throttle wide open.............BOOM,it went past Bullet,Dazzler,Pulsar150 and Pulsar135(traveling in staggered formation at their top speeds,engines screaming hard) .........a twisty road approached,braked single time,got through the twisties at 102kmph,blipped the throttle,downshifted to third.........opened the throttle widely again,bike rose to 120kmph in fifth,upshifted in redline......the speedo suddenly showed 132kmph !!!!!!!!,for a fraction of a second,then came back to 125kmph.Checked my RVMs..........what the hell !!!! No One ????? Not even a four wheeler !!!!!.Slowed down,stopped by a local chai shop..........the bike needed to rest,it was dragged like anything out of anger.
Drank tea,after four minutes as I was about to ride my bike again,I saw the group passing at 90kmph.I got up on my bike,started it,got upto a quick 101kmph and behind the group,I again honked and flashed my light.They suddenly gave side and the road was left open for me.I slowly,accelerated and cruised away from them.
Today my GSR has proved again,that it is a real time,complete Hot Rod Speed Junkie,it can take serious acceleration and top speeds with ease.If the Youth is not proud of it,then my Manhood is definitely proud of it.
GSR is a bike for complete cool riders and grown up steel nerved Men with a lot of skills and guts to push it......just like Pulsar220F
FZ and Dazzlers are for posers and college goers to go around cute girls.
Pulsar150DTSi is for the Big mouthed guy,who thinks he can be everything,soon to realize that he is nervous even to think what he just spoke of.
RTR are for serious speed freaks.....and hooliganism,accelerates very fast,but doesn't carry good top speeds.
CB Unicorn.........a matured performer,just like GSR,it doesnt give a damn what others think about it, although on the slower side.
Thats how I feel about the current 150cc air-cooled segment now.
Hence,Maestro and fellow GSR owners
,its not wise to argue with people who wont take the fact what their bikes are capable and not capable of.Let the buyer go and buy whatever they like,we have told our part.
Whether Dazzler is better than GSR,its no more a point to make.
Unicorn is far better than the Dazzler still and GSR is better than Unicorn thats all,lets no more argue over junk.
