    having P220 Fi genes and being fastest Indian bike in production is enough to lure ppl to book it

    IMO... thats not the case da
    the thing is do we have parts for DIY?
    every damn quality thing we need is unavailable here ??
    things have to be imported and even if done so.... costs a bomb
    thanks to custom duty and shipping
    not all can bear expenses .... specially not amateur tuners or learners
    ofcourse most dont belong to rich class

    not many people have the courage to bear the expenses of DIY
    its a difficult job ...... if you succeed ... its awesome and even you can make a fortune from your investment and if you fail.... still you had done a investment which went in vain....... it requires courage and confidence and ofcourse cash

    we have excellent tuners here who have tremendous knowledge and potential
    and many people on xbhp know to deal with their particular bikes

    even you have amazing knowledge

    When I was 15 I craved for bikes. When I was 25 I craved for some powerful bike in my Dad's budget. Now at 35 when I am myself a dad I am just waiting for this Pulsar 220 as this seems to be in my budget and might very well be my last attempt at speed

    I believe that it is just an upgraded 220!

    its all a case of willingness to put yourself out there. sadly, its lacking with most indian manufacturers. they develop one chassis / platform and then need to milk it for all that its worth. nothing wrong with that, but then they do not realise that one size does not fit all, and that they need to have a portfolio of different solutions for different applications.

    a new motorbike chassis with mono shock suspension is NOT rocket science. its complex, sure, but not complex enough for our manufacturers to use the complexity as an excuse to shy away from developing one.
    Actually it is the mindset of we Indians which needs to change. We tend to think of almost anything which we do not understand as rocket science. DIY culture is sorely lacking here.

    there need not necessarily be anything wrong with that. jeremy clarkson does not own every car he reviews. he trashes some serious brands most of the times. same case with the airheads at some of our "auto and bike" magazines.

    for e.g. ; sometimes you generally hear a brand of vehicle running and it consistently sounds bad, and you compare it with some other brand of vehicle which sounds so much better, and as someone who has done a fair bit of riding, one might find himself to be in a position to make a reasonably fair assessment of quality levels of a product without actually having to own one.

    please note i have not mentioned ANY BRAND here. i am just questioning your logic about ownership being required to pass judgement about a product, which in my opinion is flawed. if you know your vehicles and your riding and are a reasonably experienced biker, a short ride on a bike should provide you a reasonable idea. but i notice your statement being made a number of times (maybe by other members as well) while defending BAL products.

    Had you read the full post which was (rightly) edited by one of our mods, probably you wouldn't have questioned it!
    You read the edited version...

    One day I hope Bajajs will also handle like Yamahas and Hondas....

    The bike hasn't launched as yet..not even spy pictures are available..but still bajaj has started taking the bookings..!!

    And on top of it people without even seeing it or testing it have started booking it..!!

    This all sounds so strange..

    yeah they can do it and i dont doubt it
    i am just telling that developing a practical real life usable design is difficult and takes time
    it surely can be done but at the moment companies are busy thinking sticker and color themes and adding and removing fairings .... until people stop paying heed to them .. its gonna be the same

    and i dont think now honda is anyway interested in herohonda
    it has realized that this market has great potential and is profitable
    so they want to earn money first for honda themselves ... then just help hh for namesake ....
    so for hh to survive .... they have to do things like this

    if it was so easy
    everyone would have added a monoshock out there
    it takes unbelievable amount of time and research to design a practical usage chassis and a body........
    and things like mass distributions and all
    its hell complicated ........
