    Quite a few reasons actually:

    1. Old Carb version.
    2. It is not modern day emission compliant.
    3. Fuel guzzler.
    4. Most importantly... from my knowledge, it is not in production anymore!
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      I hope a 250 cc mill from Yamaha or honda would come to compete with the green devil

        Of course I forgot to add remanufacture this with their famous PGM-Fi&make it compliant to latest emission norms!

          In that case, the specs would not look the same anymore!

            hey thanx....160 is itself good....but my mind is oscillating whether to go for this or not cause i already have a 220 dtsi.and i will be staying in India for more 4 years.i will be taking an R1 there for sure....thinking thinking....

              Burn the front number plate and saree guard in the pits of hell. Get a nice small white sticker with black numberings on the front fender.

              isn't that (numberplate thingy) illegal ? i've seen many bikers getting tickets for replacing thr numberplates with a sticker...(i'm one of them..)

                the once thing i noticed is that she is about 6 inches lower than the zma (in terms of ground clearance), i wonder how she would be touring the Himalayas and the ghats.. Bunny : remember giri ganga??

                I got my sights set on her.. getting her as soon as i get my cash flow sorted out!

                      Yes the front number plate is a must in most of India. I think what the author really wanted to express is also known as "Frustration" at the dumbness of the Public Vehicles Dept. and cops.

                        AFAIK the stretch is 1.1KMs straight....
                        170KMPH from standstill is superb Aryan da!

                          I stand corrected. In that case, I am even more impressed!

                            If I remember clearly then we all did close to 160km/hr on the straight.Now when did you touched 170km/hr?

                              13.5k RPM, sir, and about 168 or thereabouts!

                                I also touched 13.5k r.p.m quite a few times but I never 168.Definitely one of us has seen it wrong on the speedo console.Let's wait for owners to confirm.It you are correct then I also touched the same speed.
