while we mere mortals are busy gawking at the boobs, we have someone, rightly i must add, finding the quality of silicone in them suspect.

bhaiyya, if they are serious about the market they will be serious about the quality of the fuel too. don't worry they won't get you bikes which do hiccups on the quality of fuel here.

and to gentleman who said maybe the bike will be detuned. sir what will you do of all the 107 horses sir. 20 bhaag bhi gaye phir bhi 87 hongey sambhalney ke liye. don't worry sir. and not to mention sir the people on the road are not used to 100 horses in a car, forget about in a bike. safety feature sir. treat the lost, if they are that is, horses as a safety feature sir.

in other news, no reply from hinckley. maybe time to send them another mail from office id.

Yes very right sir, its really sometime get unmanageable to drive my car , so when it comes on bike i think it will be different, though have experience about sbks.. but riding daily and riding once is a lot difference

I drive a 140 horses car..........and I feel somewhat nervous controlling it, since I do not use it extensively like a bike.Hence its use has been restricted to non biking high way rides with family and friends or to attend some auspicious ceremonies at respectable locations.But I have to overcome my nervousness or I wont be confident in it ever.

But one thing I found from so many vehicles, that it is only a matter of time that we get habituated to riding high end stuff, when it comes to two wheelers.

A two wheeler is a complete and compact package whereas a car is very different.You can compare a single seater fighter jet to an airbus in this case.

I know people in India who bought one of the fastest production bikes on earth and has utilized 70% of its true potential on Indian highways and has lived to share the experience with us.

107 bhp of power is wonderfully manageable, provided it do not fall in hands of some one who thinks that he is a Wolverine or Superman who would not break bones or would heal without fuss from deadly injuries.As in that case the 107bhp would be unleashed in places which is not meant for it.

Hence I am against detune of Triumph bikes, they should be as good as they are or their flair cannot be felt when it comes to riding on really fast roads that are present in India too.

thats a pretty fair point you have made here........

It would be fun to watch saree guard on speed triple and daytona.

**aargee** · 01-14-2012, 02:26 AM

^^^ And not to mention...the number plates in the front

Anything below 800cc which has to pass through the Indian homologation process will end up with a Saree guard and the front number plate, like the Ninja 650.

just check on youtube "touring with triple" & you will get various tour videos

Touratech as well as triumph themselves offer some wonderful touring accessories

Thanks, I'll check that out. Now I can settle for Street Triple.

I'll won't be too concerned about wind blast because while touring you rarely need speed faster than 120kmph, not atleast on Indian roads.

right sir..on highway curves it sometime feel really nervous but thanks to ABS these days it make it good on braking and of-course 4 wheels make it easy than the bike.

But the point of detune is not upto mark, though about utilization thing if we take it on race track then there i guess 20bhp also count, as bhp effects the acceleration and top speed too..
About sarre gaurd and front number plates they can be removed but detuning is like something we wont like to play. M agree with you on all aspects.

That's what I am interested to know ,how??? How will they come to manage with your fuel and how will the FI behave in that case?

Agree But wind blast tires you more while touring so something like bikini fairing really helps IMHO.

**Samarth 619** · 01-14-2012, 09:22 PM

How I wish there was an option for low quality fuel like previous Duke 690 had...

Choice is always good..

Nobody wants detuning but neither does anyone want stammering engine. Let's hope that detuning is not required and our fuel makes it...

Last time we heard about detuning, it was on the faster GT 650R which after detuning, was slower than the Ninja 650R. I felt it was unfair but who knows the details of that detuning anyways...?

**juscallmelarry** · 01-14-2012, 09:55 PM

yea , lets hope for the best
