    Yup and the person who rides it does not wear any gear not even a helmet. Gutsy fellow. Way to go.

        its better u dont go out with ur 1000cc bike & 'ride with ur friends'.there is a good chance u will thrash it & urself.lock it up in the garage till u become old enough to ride it, seeing that ur only 18 .
        Hey Anirudh,

        I think Its just that he is not finding a lid that suits his taste, people wait for months before buying their desired set of wheels whats wrong if he has decided to wait for a few days & wants to check out more options within his reach, Its only sensible that he is not going for rides without an appropriate helmet.

        He is one of us, help him suggesting one, instead of calling him dumb.

        Take care & chill buddy.
        Ride safe.

            Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

              I got my R1 when I had (still have my GPOne), but literally no other gear. Nobody called me dumb. I realised how much I had to unload my wallet on gear only after getting my bike. And even then it took a couple of months.

              So let's please cut him some slack.

              In the meantime, I'll move this topic to a more relevant category, unless the thread starter wants to share some pics here (in which case, please PM a moderator).

                        javibhas dude .... first, congrats for your bike. Second, its your choice of whether you want to wear a helmet or not. Not wearing a helmet on a 2 wheeler is an offense against the law. But since you are able to dodge that part, why bother getting one even for speeds over 150kmph ? Which i am sure not even 0.1 % of helmet owner's bikes in India can do

                          try falling over at 20 k's an hour. even with an helmet you will most likely get a concussion. without one your brains will probably be splattered on the ground

                            Poor soul...so you only need helmet when you fly past 150kmph...ALL THE BEST

                              I hope you realize, that all the flack you are getting from fellow riders here, is an after effect of this topic having no pictures of your SBK yet.

                              +1 on waiting to get proper gear before you open up the throttle. But it probably drove some of us nuts, to read your argument..coupled with the fact that the post had no pictures. So, laugh it away man...
                              and get us some pictures for gods sake.

                              Ride safe....

The problem is that DSG is running out of stock with new and good ones so can someone please help me out to buy a imported helmet in mumbai because i am comming down to mumbai on monday 24th. Please tell me the estimated price and also the address with contact number ... thankyou
                                Between Dude I forgot to ask you something.. Is this a used bike or a fresh piece? I could infer that its not an official one since it hadn't been launched here.. Then whats the cost involved in the total price including the RTo if this is a fresh piece?
