        Street racing is for Squids trying to make up for their small equipment

          Pardon my language, but WTF are we gonna do with all these powerful machines here in India? I mean auto biggies are coming in in full swing and our stupid infrastructure is still the same!!

          Sunny bhai! We have to do something very drastic about this.
          I'm damn serious!

          Sorry if i come across as flaming/OT, but this is what I feel. Its time we bring about the change that we wanna see!

          OT: The helmet on the Yammie rider has been copied by our very own Aaron Helmets!

              For a second, let us imagine who will purchase it:

              The Biker: I don't think so. The biker want to countersteer, stunt, show his control, etc. And for less than that cash, the biker can get a VFR or the idolized Hayabusa...
              Its obvious from the above Xbhpians' replies that I, the Biker, doesn't like Can Am Spyder.

              The Car fan: Would he choose this over a base model of BMW? or an Accord?? or an SUV??
              Neither does it have the thrills of a 2 wheeler, nor the safety/ wind protection/ carrying capacity/ prestige value of a 4 wheeler.

              What's the value then? Is it Exclusivity? I would rather ride a gold teethed horse to work for exclusivity.

              I have no disrespects for this machine. It might provide a satisfactory ownership experience... But maybe to someone else, not me, even at zero cost.
