That video is nice.Hope they plonk in the system in the upcoming bigger bikes(if they are coming!!)

ya this was the one i was talking about.

Are these chrome and matt finishes only for the classic 500 or for the 350 as well?

After Seeing All this in the complete thread: I wanna say like those journalists on T.V.

Aaiyee hum aapko el chalte hain pragati maidan,jahan laga hai iss sadi gaadiyon ka mela, aur hamare saamwaadata btayenge ki kya chal rha wahan pe,
hamare vishesh karayakaram me.

Dekhte rahhiye!

Yamaha has done an honest and bold job by providing R-15 at the current price point. Bajaj has #$*&% by providing N 250 at the current price point (whether due to its disinterest to bring N 250 via CKD or localisation route for saving its future home grown or KTM products from a price clash or not).

But can someone convey to Yamaha headquarters LOUD AND CLEAR that we want, at least, a 200-225 cc single cylinder short-stroke bike which can easily cross a true 140 kmph easily at 1-1.25 L price point.

Till this is done by Yamaha or by any other manufacturer, you can go and crib and still continue buying your dressed up ZMA, ZMR, FZ-16, P-......, and what not.

Dada, I had so many fotos to upload that it became really difficult to name the members & frankly, I have forgotten the names too of the people with whom I have interacted, Hope, they forgive me but it was just simply awesome to interact with them, truly.

Yes.... But that's ok

These were the kids who visited our stall & once I obliged one kid for a photo all of them hounded me like crazy!!! But I loved them


Sunny ji, thx a ton for your words. Only getting inspired by XBHP day by day. I have another 150+ photos of the cars & bikes a kind of virtual tour but I guess I won't burden the site with so much volume

The day I entered the stall, I just realized how badly my life sucks.. Wish I could have helped u guys ya
But thanx for the pic RX.. I never knew u were clickin.. Atleast, now I can say that I was there at the stall.. (even though when we were closing down) Also,thanx to all who helped put up and manage the stall... We're from the same family,but you're the ones working the hardest
And, it surely is a nice pic Dipankar bhai.. Can I get a copy of it..In case u don't charge in cash

It was indeed a great g2g.. with all bikers coming together, and not to forget, the outstation members... Remember meeting niks_devil st gate number 7... sorry bro... I thought we would talk a bit.. But you just vanished...
Also,thanx to the Devil(Shivanshu) who helped us manage the group whilst we were waiting for the members.. looking forward to meeting you again...soon
@Aryan da: I have been tryin to upload the pics,but guess there's some problem with my computer... could you please copy the pics from my facebook album, and do the honours?
Also,t'was great seeing rossiter sir, luckily for the second time
All in all, great g2g guys.. let's keep up the spirit.. Ride safe. God bless u all.

Nice pics LP.. Ducati 1198 really looks killer, like a beast looking up for his rider....

WOW!! You almost burnt the circuit of my computer with that HEAT!! Chill Bro!!

Every passionate biker in this country and in this world buys his/her bike with a lot of sentiment behind.... just that you want something particular, you just can't slam other products in the market.... they are all gems in their own right, and it's because of these existing range of products in the market, that the market is atleast started to move in the right direction.....

So, Dude... go out take a fresh chilled breath... and start riding on

Thank you for highlighting that ninja is a beginner's bike, you enlightened us! makes me wonder what category R15 falls into:rolleyes. Wooden tyres sure, looks like you read the article from MCN well, u know the theory man well even a noob can make out that they are speaking relatively. in the indian context they are pretty damn good. And atleast like the r15 the ninja doesn't get unnerved with the slightest hint of crosswinds. M sure you are also aware that the performance oriented r15 is derived from T135 which is a step thru which is used to ferry kids from school and buy fish from the nearest market. Correct me if am wrong. stop being a fanboy, like a bike for its abilities not the brand. just so u know yamaha is known to make much better bikes overall but they aren't half as hardcore bikes as kwackers barring maybe the 98 and 99 r1.

I noe r15 gives a much better bang for the buck vis-a-vis the nijette but doesn't the same equation make the 220 the best bike on the roads. had the r15 not come we still would have been stuck with the wonderful pulsars and apaches which we sooo love, don't we?

i don't mean to have an argument just disgusted by illogical brand loyalty. PEACE

My first post in mnths....missed xbhp....but it was serious fun visiting the xbhp stall and meeting fellow xbhp riders (my first encounter)....

Awsum coverage ken da....and people I was there at the Auto Expo when all the scuffle was going on....There was a mob of people(stupid villagers who had no idea who Rossi is) alll they were doing ws shoutin....creatin havoc....destroyin property....fightin the police/guards etc etc and when the yamaha stall was shut down the mob gt angrier nd rowdier.....they had to bring in police and guards etc etc to fight them off.....I was there at the exit gate to the stall with few people who had invites from Yamaha but weren't let in....The euphoria about rossi was amazin.....
