Time to Start





Mr D90



In between you have to pass through this forest to reach the next level

Yes I was not at all happy about the ground clearance of the bike.
I scrapped while taking the corners few times. If the road is little bumpy, the corners are little scary because of this but again this did not reduce my confidence in taking the corners

no dude, I didnt take the comet. As my wife was staying alone in the room, I parked my bike outside so that it leaves a feel that she is not alone.And it really worked, when she went for breakfast, the guy asked her, if she needs something to be parceled for the other 2 guys in the house. :P

FZ - Rahul was not happy with the ground clearance I guess..

Thank You Ken , yeah its a dogs eye.

Thanks and a valid question on the helmet.

Carrying a helmet while going for a trekk is not a good idea,so purposefully avoided it and kept in room itself. As far as safety is concerned , I dont think we need a helmet when we ride in 10-20's in a remote place like this.
Also its not that comfortable when you struggle to ride in such places. U have to keep ur head down most of the time to see what the next rock.
If we were doing mountain climb ( ), yes we would have taken .

A fall from bike would have been more or like a fall while trekking .

Infact we were not aware of the offroad itself unless we reached there.
FZ was new and was a friends bike so didnt want to take a chance.

Weight of the bike becomes a pain to handle.

Also, the tyres... the round profile tyres don;t find so much grip on the rocky terrain. I see that as one more good reason to leave behind the FZ though it is light and torquey.

Calling it offroading will be an understatement. You guys actually made those bike 'trek' their way through. Wasnt the Comet taken in this 'up hill task"? may use these pics in the cc-torque-power thread to drive the point home

BTW, I am curious to know why you guys have avoided helmets during that rocky ride? hampered feild of view? Knowing what I know about the riders I wouldn't imagine you guys doing it without a helmet (atleast).

Nice report of the FZ.

Is that an eye of dog? At first mistook it for a horse! Nice photograph. And nice shot of the FZ under the Gulmohars again. Should try some shadow highlights on that one.

Before this trip I had a different opinion about FZ, I had ridden it only in citi. I rode the bike around 300kms in this trip. The bike Rockkks!!! It gives loads of confidence to the rider.

Corners can be taken seamlessly. Even at night if you happend to see a corner at the last moment dont have to worry on this bike. Its lot of fun to ride. It has got vey good feel in the mid range, there are no vibes even on 80's, though it start when it touches 90.

The breaking is better than 220 and ZMA.. dont trust me ? ride them and see. Gears are also very smooth and not to mention the clutch too.
You can cruise in 85-90 with good stability. When you are no 90's and you down gear to reach zero the bike dont make much noise , vibes its very relaxed. You feel very comfortable.

I am very much impressed by the handling of the bike its a totally different
experience.

The lights are also really good. I think better thank stock ZMA. I am totally in love with this bike. It it had a higher engine so that I can cruise at 100-110 , a high profile tire to save the alloys in bad roads , I wont think much than to buy this beast.

Kudos to Yamaha !!






Sirac after 20k , still good enough for these kind of rides.
