    so now we will be getting tickets for overspeeding like we are used to see in hollywood movies and soaps.not much to worry for me,i live in the outskirts of kolkata and the 40 km long highway leading to kolkata is congested with vehicles but no traffic guard.
    and the question remains why do i race?
    every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

    #i have learnt to manipulate my own adrenaline and the perception of biking is different.
    #overkill is underrated.
    #how random roads may appear there is always a destination.sigpic
    #i don't subscribe to co-incidence,either it is the rider or the other moron on the road

    (:)people keeps on saying add spark to life, bajaj got hold of that idea and added an extra spark to bike.

      and for that knee touching part .. which pulsar u own, coz mine P150 scraps footpegs before my knee makes any contact with road.
      I said "almost touching knees". Its the P180 UG3. Never did a knee-down on it, but came quite close to it.

          Well, I too think that it's just too less. They should increase the speed limit to atleast 80-90. But atleast they passed some rule.... :P We live in a democracy where addressing smaller problems are always easier than looking into the bigger problem, but if tackling the smaller problems in some way might help to indirectly tackle the larger problem then such an initiative is welcome. But agree with you that the limit is just too low.

          if a 100 CC splendour is going at ... say 80 kmph, it is at its limit in terms of handling and braking and is unsafe to go any faster.

          on the other hand, think a CBR250 or Ninja 250 or any other higher capacity bikes (except bullet) .... for these bikes .. handling and braking at 80 kmph is without breaking a sweat, and the safe limit may be raised to ...say 120-130 kmph.

          so the question is - what should be the safe speed limit ??
          Exactly. The limit's should be raised.

          Everybody switch to electric scooters and cycles!!! , "making the roads safer?" what roads? All I see are potholes!!!
          I would rather be riding my bike thinking of God, than sitting in the temple thinking of my bike.

            The Limits have Already been Revised a Lot, you need to check, one my Fav Stretches in Delhi is the Barapullah Flyover, which is 90kmph, so even at its starting at the curve, I am at 90

                  well then a few tips will always be welcome buddy

                  btw, mine is P150, coz in 220 the foot pegs are positioned a bit higher, not sure about 180/200.

                    I am considering a serious upgrade from the 650 to this SBK (future), in order to prevent myself from shamelessly violating the liberal traffic laws laid by our Govt... Who's with me?

                        Seems like a lots of Harley and other imported bike riders have been rounded up last night in Mumbai for "Noise".

                        First, it was for wearing helmets like Arai (not ISI). Now for riding Harley (too loud).
