        That "Z" looks beautifully nasty BigBore! Looks like an angel.... But tell me something. It was originally a 4 speed right? So basically its a brand new 5S engine? Sorry yaar...I'm confused...

          Thanks Bluesmoke! It was originally a 4 speed! The engine as well as the other spare parts excluding the chasis & petrol tank is 5S!

            I rode it! :-D

            I rode it. Sorry! Dont be offended, but I do feel proud just riding it!

            Went to his place! I remember he was on a long trip to Allahabad, Hyderabad and GOD knows where else!

            Rode his Red- RXG 135 5 speeder on the Highway, and before even the Adrenaline hadn't settled down, I got another Shocking offer! It was better than my FIRST JOB OFFER! I heard "Wanna Ride?"

            All that excitement, all the talks that went on, guess he remembered my words "Wanna see your Z bro!".

            Uncovered her after a month, and I had an intuition that it would start in the second kick. But to my surprise, it started in the first kick!

            I thought to myself, how in this world is this possible, atleast it was new for me! After a month, in a single kick!

            Then came the moment, he put it on stand and got off! I was about to ride! Had the confidence after riding his RXG, but also had the nervousness of riding another crazy machine!

            The lighting kit was doing it job well, well lit the road ahead!

            Put it to first and slight acceleration, and I could feel the pull. I let the engine warm up for a km or so. Reached an empty stretch of road, I heard the words from the Master "Kheech ke dekho! (Try to Rip)"

            What in GODs name would I wait for?

            1st- 5K RPM,
            2nd- 7K,
            3rd- 7K. The ingear acceleration, called (Roll-on I guess ) was just tremendous! Put most of the 'common' performance 4Ts to shame!

            Didnt rev beyond that, as I had done with the quota of adrenaline for the day, and also as the bike was taken out after a month!

            Again here, hopefully, I would be able to ride her the way she has been trained! A ferocious War-Horse!

            Someday, may I BigB?

            P.S: I ain't getting paid for this, also I'm not bribing him with my kind words, so that I might get to ride it some other day! I feel lucky to have atleast ridden it once!

              Very true Karthik, the resale prices for the RXZ 5 Speed and RX135 5 Speed are the same in Mumbai too. And also the sad part is that everything is sold in black (Over priced), especially the OE spares
              Not only in blore and Mumbai the bike is overpriced here in Coimbatore every mechanic shed is restoring atleast 2 RX bikes the rate has gone over the cloud whether it is a 5 speeder or 4 speeder.. Long live the 2strokes let the future generations hear to the strokers exhaust note and experience the punch of strokers

                              Can the RXZ fuel tab be cleaned? Can I open the plastic bowl to clean it. I checked the tap, saw rust in it. I can't change the tap, due to reason.
