      How the hell on earth I missed this. Something to cheer after years of rumours. Thought do not expect much on the engine front, good to see the gas shocks and rear disc. The rear view mounts appear to be on the fairing.

          From the above analogy, I hope you got the answer clearly this time.
          i don't think your analogy is fitting at all. it just means you did not get the essence of my post. suggest you go back and read it.

          and in any case, i was looking for a response from mgbiker, which he kindly provided, and not from you.

          thanks for the effort in any event.
          There once was a woman who was quite begat.
          She had three babies named Nat, Pat, and Tat.
          She said it was fun in the breeding,
          But found it was hell in the feeding
          When she saw there was no tit for Tat.

            If u notice in the pic, we can see the road on the other side through the chain cover. So methinks its half covered. Correct me if I'm wrong.

            its just that i am trying to understand the atmosphere of the forum. do you need to be careful about brand wars and OT comments just with respect to a particular manufacturer, or is it a general rule ??

            personally i like the mood in this thread, where its more relaxed and comments like the above, don't invite people ready to decapitate you.

            i am asking just so that i know how to conduct myself in a way that is acceptable on this forum.

              Btw this thread will be locked tomorrow afternoon as the purpose of the thread will be served and no one will have anything substantial to add here.
              yes, its a right thing to do ...i mean what else people could do other than gawking at that masked bike..and also people here are predicting the things even faster than those astrologers lol... u all here r liable of getting a job as an astrologer

                Anybody observed, the gold color crank case? The riding position is still commuterish. Good that they retained the same posture, a touring delight.

                  You can't generalise the mood of forum by action of few members. I clearly got what you are trying to say by not saying it outright itself. In the other thread when there were comments made against the manufactuer there were replies back to it and those lead to a pointless fight, which would have resulted in MG warning others and then going for an ban. Here you don't see that happening still. If it does then He would do the same I am quite sure.

                    this is for all members of xbhp including the mods n no one in particular
                    no offenses meant in any case


                    but this is what i have to say :

                    if the threads are being locked like this.... where can a person discuss
                    is this forum a serious technical forum?????????

                    why on earth cant people joke among themselves... or sometimes be OT and have a laugh at things.....

                    only in a case where there are direct attacks from one member to another...
                    these threads can be locked .. which was somewhat evident in the P220 thread as MG said....... but here people are happily enjoying

                    if anyone is unhappy with others post... he can pm the particular person requesting to edit or pm the moderator requesting for an action .....

                    and most probable reasoning but may not be always true :

                    no one has given any other person some money to support a brand or something ........ and if a guy is made a SUPER MODERATOR of one of the best and highly popular biking forum that thousands read...... then that is for a reason ...... he deserves the title because he is a sound unbiased person and knows what he is doing

                    and well unless people talk and discuss ... how can they learn things
                    for eg: x offended y and realizes it ...he apologizes and knows what not to talk and what to talk next time ....people also learn to interact... on small or big things become friends and come close... people understand the difference between constructive criticism and useless barking and blah blah etc

                    when the P220 or for that matter the speculation thread was closed....
                    i was not particularly happy ....... may be some people were involved in brand wars or pulling each other down in the eyes of the mods
                    but i think most of us enjoyed it and felt happy
                    so why most suffer because of some ????
                    warnings can be issued!!
                    everything is fine unless all are bent on fighting it out

                    I personally as a active member of XBHP place a humble request to MG and any other mod not to close the thread
                    rest the decision of course lies in the hands of the mods n sup mods

                    i dont know whats in others mind or heart but this is what i feel on locking of threads ... please consider
                    thanks for reading
                    and again as said,,, no offenses to anyone anyways
                    cheers

                      people who might have booked new P220, they might have got just a little thought or shock in the process ...i may be wrong though .

                      And coming to this IF zma upgrade....Anything like Gas Shocks, Rear Disk, Tubeless (Old) and minor engine tweak on old engine would be more than sufficient (atleast for me).

                      coming to HH beign joked in all threads....its individual perception , But still HH is the reason which made me to own Xtreme twice.

                          I some times feel sorry...
                          Because almost everyone knows that HH is bounded by many rules Imposed by HONDA with limited technology access. But Still HH sells its well criticized 100cc bikes (also called as mopeds) and its other 150cc bikes which sell no less than its nearest competitors.

                          There is no point is expecting more from a maker who doesnt have enough rights (or power) to do so. Its just the WE EXPECT MORE.

                          I guess i got exaggerated.

                              I don't know why, but I'm still getting a feeling this could just be the new 150 that was being talked about from Honda.
                              I personally wish it is the new Karizma though!

HH is big daddy of all, Bajaj on the other hand is seeing many new models failing in market, Bajaj's market share has shrunk by huge percentage compared to 2006 levels, on the other hand HH is comfortably No.1.
                                Going by the hype and hoppola created around DTSFi before it's launch, everyone guessed Zma will be an instant death.
