    Yamaha has been able to do an Apple (i.e command premium for its products) only for the FZ-16 and R15.. but the lower cc models are priced at par with other models.. still the FZ manages to garner 40% of its yearly sales.

    Don't go by the previous reputation.. the Pulsar 135LS has been in the market for sometime now.. the owners haven't flooded the forum with complaints or niggles have they..??

    Believe me, things have got much better

        Just use a apple product and next thing is you will dump your MS garbage.. (except windows 7 which is good but nowhere near snow leopard.).. just use snow leopard or an iPhone you will all know what I am talking about..

          Having used a mac book pro (still using one with leopard), I can safely say that a windows is far more simpler and easy to use for commoners. But computer professionals, programmers or geeks like me would love it over any other laptop(I have two others).
          But still I am not an Apple fan. They are enjoying premium now but that is going to be challenged ... specially iPhone market will be challenged more than anything. Check: http://images.intomobile.com/wp-cont...aphic3gsn1.jpg -- not sales wise but at least features wise players are getting closer.

          And yeah!! Ubuntu rocks

          MS=Honda seems to be fine specially both are the best for 'aam' junta, though HH may have better reliability than MS . For geeks read biking freaks you have Yamaha.

            My GF would love it, she already loves to Ride my FZs with a pink FZ i am sure she'll be motivated to get one. Or knowing her she'd prolly want me to change the current black n yellow Panels to pink on me Baby Beast and gift it to her

People like us are obviously looking for power and performance along with that perfect styling.

              Patience is the key.
              absolutely correct a 200cc with 17 bhp just imagine how would it screw other bikes wow its high time that Yamaha should launch a power packed engine not looking at the mileage side but a pure performance bike like the RD these guys 25yrs before gave the market a bike with low avg,high maintenence which people could not afford at that time,but now when people are ready to pay,and now that they are aware of performance bikes Yamaha is playing with 150cc
