          An inspiring story for the young fellas who also share the same dream as you and I pray they too achieve this.

          Work towards your day-dream and you shall be able to achieve this is the mantra.

          Hats off Brother

          (I too have dream/s, but other things in life as of now have taken precedence, hope to achieve them some day)

            It depends as the model from the manufacturer keeps changing(technically and aesthetically)..ultimately its your call on which one you want to buy and whats available at that point of time...

            Its always nice to set a date deadline, since you can analyse where you stand today and where you wana reach and how fast?
            All the best,keep me posted

                  Hey strider,

                  Very encouraging write-up.. Im sure it has made some guys here determined to buy their dream bike...

                  PS: did you really have just 400 bucks in you a/c after the purchase? if so, you have got huge set of B@||s man... Kudos to you...

                      Gr8 story bro.
                      I wish if I would have saved all my pocket money and the money which I burnt and drank I too would have afforded a R1 instead of my Fazer (I love it tho ).
                      Anyways congrats bro...and plz post some more snaps of your ride dude.
