    Boy, now read your statement again and tell me if this is the way you feel then why did you even commented on the bike you never rode? I never say that one shouldn't do that. Its you whose saying that it doesn't carry any credibility


    I don't think I misunderstood you. Your post clearly said the word ADVERTISE, and anybody who tries to put genuine suggestions would get hurt by such stupid words. So did I.

    Dont get pissed off. I came here to complement on the bike and looks like Im fending off attacks from all sides.


    Boss, I never said I didnt ride a 160. Moreover, for the context of that particular reply, hearsay is credible enough.

    My mistake. I better be careful how and where I choose my words. Advertise also refers to the act of drawing attention to something without material profit involved in it. I suppose that puts some bandage on your hurt.


    Anyway, in general, whatever I have to say on the 180 is not worth it in the scope of the direction that particular thread has taken. Hope that clears things up.


    @ abhijeet080808: What do you mean by that?

    @ pranav_salieri: thumbs up. Thanks for coming to my rescue.

      For the sake of other bikers please write your post in Black.if there is something you want to highlight,then please use the Bold option.
      My eyes became sore after I read your post!

      Well you aint starting any war,but insulting the respective bike owners.
      If you think that FZ doesnt handle well,then say,it doesnt handle well,dont say that it handles like a pig!

      Btw how does a pig handle?

      I have ridden GS pretty much and can say that its a good bike,very comfortable but not flickable as FZ,braking of RTR is much better than that of GS,RTR weighs less than GS.
      Speak Less,Speak Wise!

      Sarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity.

        Did I say that he is?
        I am just against the way he speak. No one is here for advertising things. And, I don't know what he is trying to prove by saying "what credibility does the experience of a first timer carry to a guy thats looking for a long termer?" and then back to back " hearsay is credible enough." He himself is not able to decide what way he feels and he's trying to throw these statements to others. I have no personal grudges against him or anybody.

        1.) You complemented the bike, I was the first to praise it.

        2.) Make it clear to yourself first that what is credible enough and what's not. Its the third time that your statements are contradicting back to back

        3.) Advertise means:
        a.) drawing attention towards something to promote sales or making it famous.
        b.)drawing attention towards something to promote sales or making it famous.
        c.)drawing attention towards something to promote sales or making it famous.
        Don't try to play with your sentences. Accept what you said.

        +100 for the bolds.

        And, colors were used to to put specific comments on specific part of the post. Still, I didn't use it this time due to your comment. But buddy, the option is there to use it when needed.

          Just the GS150 owners are a forgiving lot when it comes to shortcomings of their bike and not so forgiving when it comes to other bikes.

          PS - Just my opinion. No offense meant.
          Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

            2> Contradicting? Stating well known facts or popular opinion makes for credible heresay which was sufficiant for a rough outline of the bike......which is what I did in my first post there. Now, you expect that a post of my first experience with the 180 will help convince someone of its longterm perfromance...that too when he is thinking of a cbr? A very pointless thing if you ask me. NOW, GET YOUR THOUGHTS STRAIGHT. Else, read that thread again. Read my comments here again. Read your comments here again and voila....you will find the hidden truth. I hate saying the same things over and over.

            3> Go through the dictionary again or grow up.

            My words weren't an insult and I cant help it if you chose to take it that way. If you still have a hard time dealing with it, lets go to court and settle this.

            What? So, if a guy has a small head, does that mean he is stupid???
            IF it was an insult AT ALL
            , it was against the bike, not the biker.


            Btw how does a pig handle?

            Exactly how you imagine it to.

              I see that you have taken it pretty seriously,chill buddy its just a discussion,there is nothing to get angry on.No has made any personal comment,everyone has just put up their views thats all.Moreover for a biker a bike isnt a bike,its like a baby that you take care of and ride for joy!I am not getting from where the small head thing came up.

              Btw how does a pig handle?

              Exactly how you imagine it to.


              Sorry bro I dont know how pig handles!

              I have ridden GS pretty much and can say that its a good bike, very comfortable but not flickable as FZ,braking of RTR is much better than that of GS,RTR weighs less than GS.

              Sadly I never heard this story!

              I guess this was a healthy discussion that was going on here but I guess you have taken it personally.There is nothing personal,we all belong to the same tribe after all!

                    Your words are still not able to prove your point what I asked
                    Anyways, keep trying, one day you may succeed

                    This made me remember someone's signature text here which reads as: Don't argue with an idiot, he'll drag you down to his level and beat you in that.

                                Dude, first you say FZ handles like a pig, you say Apache180 comes after GS150R, this is acceptable... because i have seen people who say their pulsars handle better then a hayabusa(L O L).
                                But calling some guy an idiot just because he supported the fastest accelerating indian when compared to a bike which hardly has any sales, is insane.

                                P.S. Majority of the GS150 owners i met turned out to be people like you.
                                I'm not coming to any conclusions, just sharing an experience

                                P.P.S. Why are you even praising a bike which looks sick(just an opinion) in the thread of A180 man? Go there, find your followers

                                P.P.P.S. I hate the console of GS150, I hate the bike. >.< (just an opinion)
