    And this is the best 0-60km/hr ever recorded by me while trying to a shoot a 0-120km/hr video.Video will be uploaded, soon!!

    • @chicane1879, lijok, rennycornelius, aswinap, ameyashogun

      Guys Thannks for your valuble reply.

      And the good news is got the "New fresh model" , went along with the dealer to the stockhouse to get the Beast.

      The problem was that "The Bike already ran around 300km with wire plugged, if that would have been registered the RTO agent would fined him."

      Anyways really Happy now
      and guys keep going n keep sharing.

          Me too. But need to find a proper vacant stretch as it will take really really long time to reach there and it's a bit risky too!!

            • hehe.... i did 138 on speedo easily on NH7 which is mostly devoid of traffic... plus, one factor you can use to your advantage is the slipstream of faster vehicles... 140 speedo is definitely possible...

              • ^^..and to add to it a perfect downhill which would make it easier to hit higher speeds.

                Can anyone confirm the availability of the Motul 5w40 5100T. I am still in search for it but couldnt find any.Veedol Super Swift is a very good engine oil but then Motul is better.Will be switching to Motul during the next oil-change.

                  Haven't heard of that... Pls let us know if you manage to find it somewhere.

                  Correction: Motul 5100 4T 10W40 seems to be available here & there...

                  • I was getting bored so made a homemade cam holder for Apache it would have been better if Apache had one piece handle bar
                    anyway this cam holder only weighs 30 gm made of aluminum hollow pipe
                    I have a cam holder for Fazer/FZ-16 or bikes with one piece handle bar.
                    Handle bar like these:

                      good effort.

                      My prediction: It will generate a lot of vibes.

                      It is long and not so strong. Vibes will creep in and might pretty much hamper the video.
