    pun intended
    Replying late since I was re-reading the posts for obvious reasons. You cannot pun the i-smart, because R25 may have 2 cylinders, but it doesn't have start-stop tech in it.

    Ron Syl, I made that statement in the context that we normally hold the railgrab to put the bike on the main stand.

    I think it can do 180+ if redlined.
    Yes we hope so. That's what we discussed in this thread a few days back. It can do a speedo run of 175+ kmph and on redlining every gear it can toucj 180+ kmph.

    Sorry if my post has sparked off a different discussion.
    To make it clear, I'm not talking about grab rails for pillion. I'm least bothered about pillion as I ride alone mostly.
    I need the grab rails for holding & pushing the bike into tight spots!

    Main stand for lubing/puncture repair.

    Why would someone ride with such an aggression that pillion arms would start paining? are you taking a pillion to a track? When there is a pillion the acceleration on 1st and 2nd gear should not be hard and it has to be gradual. The grab rails would definitely be useful atleast when braking -pillion can hold on to it. If its a female pillion then fine the rider would be fine I dont want to look like Karan johar while giving drop to my male friend
    No sirjee. Ride as a pillion on any of the V2 and you will understand what I am trying to say. Whatever be the speed you need to be ready for sudden braking, thanks to the awesome traffic sense of most of us, Indians. So incase of sudden braking, I'm sure the pillion will incline on the rider. Now imagine the same scenario with the pillion holding the grab rails. First as the rear seat is inclined towards the front the pillion's sitting posture will be a bit front inclined. So the pillion will be holding the grab rails going against the default seating posture. Even if you don't brake suddenly then also after some kms the pillion rider will start feeling the strain. Now add sudden braking to that. Pillion's body is moving forward but the hands are holding the grab rails. So the whole pressure will come to pillion's arms resulting to pain. So grab rails in these type of bikes is not required.
