      Loved reading through your experience. There is your style with a strong touch of tongue in cheek humour which somehow I feel comes from a western influence with large doses of sarcasm that leaves me in splits!

      Those Danes look lovely next to the Jap. I have seldom seen Danes of this colour.

      MT on the beach also looks beautiful.

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

        The temperament of the breed gave the name 'Gentle Giants'.

          OT:

          ^^ hey what breed are those two pets near the MT, greyhounds??
          The fully white dog is a Rajapalayam...its a native breed in south india..was being breed by the Royals(Nayakars) as their Palace Guard dogs!!...

          they were also used for hunting...there is a saying that a couple of RAJA's can bring down a leopard...

            In about 24 hours since I was away this thread's speed has broken the sound barrier.

            Congrats. congrats. congrats. This is a really beautiful piece of machinery. Brute power with touch of elegance. Yes, the sound dept needs some work. Europe, although expensive is still the better place for exhausts for the MT-01.

            Loved the write up from you & Akhil and also thoroughly enjoyed Akhil's friend's running commentary with the camera. Esp- Yeeshtu mileage?

            Wish you a safe & enjoyable journey to Mumbai.

              Loved going through each n every page of this thread.. The expreinces written out both by you and rossiter were a treat to go through... The set of pics you posted are just too good.. I've started liking MT even more after seeing those pics.. Dogs are really beautiful...

                Congratulations GS. Thanks a million Rossiter in getting this through.
                What a brilliant write up from both of you. Totally worth risking "fooling around XBHP" at work. I just couldnt help reading each and every post at work. I'm sure if i get caught...i can show my boss the MT and get away with it. God Bless Yamaha for putting out such incredible bikes.
                Ride safe on your trip to Mumbai....

                  Europe is the only place you can get exhausts for this bike.

                  Which exhausts are you going for?

                          Wow what a nice farm.
                          Wow what a nice bike.

                          Cheapo question, but still, what is the mileage you are getting?
                          and could anyone tell me what is PDI's full form?

                            @Tanay: PDI = Pre Delivery Inspection

                              This posted by Rossiter:
                              "So I headed down to the showroom, and got the shock of my life when the bike appeared out of the truck with the wheels on, and the PDI was already done, even before it had arrived in Bangalore."

                              So, uh, these bikes come to the showroom WITHOUT the wheels normally?
                              Is that not a bit strange? As they are fully imported so should have been fully assembled at the factory, what?

                              Unless, (and most likely) I'm missing something here...

                                @gs: Here's wishing you Godspeed for your Chennai-Mumbai ride. And loved the ride-report (Lucid details on the gym-shorts included).

                                @Akhil: Lovely pics. Im guessing it was you behind the scenes for all the shots
                                I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.
