  • My Street Hawk is finally here :D

    Hello Everyone,
    Just starting this thread to share with u all the happiest moment of my life. i finally finally got my dream superbike " the 2011 Yamaha FZ1N"
    Its been a tiring but an amazing journey to get here but i made it and im very happy here are a couple of pics enjoy also some observations

    A note to the moderators im sorry to start off another thread here since the FZ1 ownership thread is already present, i always wanted a thread of my own so pls accept this and then after couple of day you can merge it with the ownership Thread Thank you

    These are from last saturday:










    Took the delivery today so couple of observations !
    The bikes power is scary
    It has a really really relaxed seating ! really comfortable !
    Had a lot of people come up to me and just say that the sound is beautiful !!
    This bike is not excatly ment for the bangalore 'Traffic" scene ! i had the temperature goin up to 103' C !!. But the fan kick in and all was good !
    i initially rode it to a top of only 70kmph because:
    A) Horrible bangalore traffic !! on a Friday evening !
    B) i was shittin in my pants !! lol
    The bike looks beautiful ! the pooja is done got the registration also done will get the number by monday !

    Now the Restrictions !
    This bike has come in a very difficult time for me have struggled to get acceptance of the family ( even after having the money) my grandmom is totally against it. so i have huge and i mean insane amount of restrictions on the bike so i dont know how ill run it in but i guess i will try my best

    I realized im still not in the mature enough to ride a bike like this but i will learn to keep my cool ! the power is seriously addictive ! i mean the bike just wants to break free !


    This is my first time on a superbike and my dream was to sit and ride my own bike and this has finally come true !

    Here are a lot more pics (time of Delivery) : Enjoy !



    Haha i love this pic ! "she" looks so cute doesnt she with the ribbon !




    Thats me all stunned and confused






    Mom cutting the ribbon off !








    Finally i would like to thank Akhil ( Rossiter), Niks, harish and everyone on xbhp for helping me out, since im a noob at superbiking and want to seriously be level headed to ride the bike i look forward for your guidance ! Please do gimme your feedbacks whenever possible

    For everyone who aspire to live there dreams all i can say is hard work pays off stick to it and you will realize this dream sooner than u think !

    PS: will try to give updates whenever im free since i have spent a bomb on this will have to work extra hard now lol.

        Congrats diehard.
        Anyway, take it easy initially till you gel with the bike, so you know your limits & the bikes limits.

        Ride safe and wish you many many miles of enjoyable ownership.

              Congrats from the heart mate. The FZ1 is one of the best for Indian conditions.

              and wtf is that???... is that a "PINK" bow on that monster's head???
              If I were that FZ1.. I would have bit your head off

                  Congratulations for the bike!! It looks effin HOT

                  Exactly 2yrs & 13 days ago, I had taken delivery of my R15 from the same showroom (Perfect Riders), same person (Naveen), & used to get it serviced at the same service center in the pic (Perfect Riders). The mechanic in the pic (Nagaraj) is a good chap with the R15, but I'm not sure if he's involved in servicing the CBUs. I think the CBUs there are serviced by Venkatesh, Service Manager (if he's still around).

                  Wishing you millions of happy miles with the bike.

                  btw, you call yourself too young for a superbike. So, exactly how young are you?

                  PS: With great power, comes great responsibility.


                  EDIT: Good to see Gurmeet uncle was there too. He's a delight to interact with.

                  My views on the YZF-R15 V2.0: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/198...tml#post699240

                  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.

                              Thank Haroon i have to learn biking and riding all over again even after almost 9 years of riding !!
                              The bike needs a lot of focus to ride atleast on Indian roads !

                              Thanks a lot Tibby, i dont know if venkatesh is there anymore. but there is another service manager for CBUs - Chandarshekar and yes Mr. Gurmeet is really a delight to talk to !
                              And Young would be in the head dude (not mature enough for a superbike) but im getting old man im 25 now :P

                              I will try my best to ride with u guys even yesterday when i spoke to John he said there was a ride happening today were a Harley was comin apparently but its difficult for me to convince my family to take the bike out on long rides so i promised him a photo shoot soon will catch up with u there

                              "With great power, comes great responsibility" - Spidey to the rescue eh ! yes i know its a huge huge responsibility to own this monster of a bike not only a responsibility to keep myself safe but its hugly extended to keep in mind the safety of people around me be that family, Pedestrians walking on the road etc need to be really really level headed to ride it. This is something i remind my self everytime i get on a bike. yes when your young to do tend to get carried away pulling wheelies and riding fast but we got to mature someday.

                              Haha thank a lot dude . Family restrictions will prevail for a long time its not easy going against your family. You have to keep in mind to keep them happy as well. so im really happy to adhere to them.
