        But quite frankly the unicorn was not legal for the drag. The uni was clocking 122 end of 400mtrs true. Hence we cant compare it with the speeds of other 160cc bikes. Anyways lets keep all that offline.

                Thats an RTR swing arm completely re-fabricated. The mono mount was added and a few other changes were done.
                The tyres are IRC Eagle Racing, soft compound rubber.
                A lot more work will need to go in. The bike can shed another 3-4 kilos. And so can I

                        Awesome job, Joel!

                        I was wondering why the drag bikes are still equipped with batteries? Are they running CDIs that need that power?

                          Joel, leave ur bikes. U look awesome in those pics.... much like a model. Needless to say the bikes look amazing. I suppose U cant commute to office anymore on these bikes. So is it R15 all the way!!!!

                          P.S and O.T: What brand and model are those sunglasses of urs?

                                I build my bikes myself. Mostly at home. Else would get it assembled at Zen TVS.

                                Zak is a friend of mine. I know him pretty well.

                                @nirvan - My bikes need a battery. The RTR was running the self starter and so did the karizma. All the bikes have DC ignition too.

                                @Apar - My RTR will become street legal in a day. The Fiero has more developments and will always be a race bike only. Ya right I'll become a model. What a pity

                                @Nav - Thanks man. We'll hit the track to celebrate
