      Awesome! That to on a bike people which people feel is underpowered! Good stuff.

      How many hours did you ride in total? Did you do any mods to the bike?

      You are one lucky chap to have crossed the kashimira junction easily. If I were you, I would have never planned to come through that bit of road

      Cheers!

              Wow, This is amazing. didn't think that the FZ is capable of SUSTAINED speeds over 120 kph. as per my knowledge, the only Indian manufactured bikes which are having the potential to do the IBA are the P 220 DTS-Fi/ P 220 DTSI, Karizma & the R15. are the pics posted of your self & Bike taken during your IBA run? and the location u mentioned "Goregaon (Mumbai)" is wired and i haven't heard of it before.

              BTW, as u have completed the IBA at 7:50am on 24th November'09 as mentioned by you, i think you have already received the Certification & badges from them by now. Eager to see your scan copies of the IBA certificate.

                      I dont know, should be 110, and PS Winzees Pulsar wasnt really as fast as other pulsars when he did it.

                      We are going OT, why not start a new thread about which bikes can do a saddle sore etc etc

                        These facts are really very encouraging...

                        We all should give a try atleast once, what say? But first should try to improve / test our stamina by doing small / long tours with frequent breaks, thereby even checking the road conditions and noting down the various petrol pumps accepting cards.

                              Riding the bike in excess of 110 kmph, the engine did not feel stressed. When I had taken the bike for servicing the battery needed charging,there was excess chain slackness and I got the engine oil changed.
