I'm reading this thread for the nth time in the last 1 year.
What a write-up!! Superbikes expalined in simple words. Perfect read-up for someone planning or dreaming of buying a SBK.
Thanks for sharing your experience Ken da.

The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

Good You enjoyed it!Originally posted by satyayadav View Postv v v v good write up ken da .every time i use to read this thread when ever i visit x.b.h.p .when ever i read it, it seems to me as i am watching a intresting movie,all that which u wrote really moves in my mind as a movie ,i felt the each n every moment of it,thanks for such a nice write up
And I am still enjoying riding motorcycling. Though now I have moved to things more than just Sbks. They are fun. But plastic fun does not last long. There is more to motorcycling than just plastics and fairing. I am not denigrating Sbks. AFA motorcycling is concerned, they are probably the most technologically advanced bikes available. But there are other kinds of motorcycling fun too.Originally posted by tibby View PostI'm reading this thread for the nth time in the last 1 year.

The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

I am so eager to buy a Superbike or a high CC bike by the next two years..........but the only problem is that neither the GSX750R is coming,nor are there any used Busa's available

Glad to know you're still enjoying every bit of it. Just checked the couple of leaning pics on FB (R1 & P220). Awesome stuffOriginally posted by ken cool View PostAnd I am still enjoying riding motorcycling. Though now I have moved to things more than just Sbks. They are fun.

I'm not aware, so just wanted to know out of curiosity - since when have you owned the current R1?
Didn't quite get "Other kinds of motorcycling fun".. Is it something like blending motorcycling & photography? Or something else?

"Other" as in going off the tarmac into more challenging terrain... once in a while.
