  • Die hard 2-stroker/techie/Bike Builder

    Hi Everyone!

    I'm back to xbhp after a long break, couldn't activate my older ID, so here i am. I'm Navin, completing my Masters in Product Development in Sweden. Did my automotive engg in Chennai. I love motorcycles, in any form/year/model/etc and have a soft spot for 2 strokes. Fastest one i have ridden is my friends 1987 Yamaha TZR 250, did about 180kmph on the highway. My first bike was a 2003 Pulsar 180, and after thrashing it around for 5 years, i bought myself an RXZ from my friend (I helped him buy that bike years ago). Spent the last few years experimenting with it - 5 speed gbx, pulsar front end, unicorn rear end, various FZ16 parts... Learnt to ride on my dad's '89 rx100 and his brother's '87 rx 100. So you can see we're a very Yamaha 2 stroke dedicated family . Love customizing motorcycles, check out my bikes in the albums. Looking to do a Bullet custom when i get back to India again. and probably work on a 700 or 1000cc RE V-twin

              Thank you all!

              I'm presently looking to pick up a Yamaha RD125LC here in Sweden and bring the engine back to fit in my RXZ I will probably start a thread if i'm going ahead with it.

                      Good to see someone on here with enough tech skill kit do development works. Sweden would have better resources than India so why not you do the 'Twin'-ing there itself.

                      See this thread, it makes for a nice read


                      Cheers!

                        ha ha!

                        Sweden is one of the most expensive countries to live in. Now just to give you a small idea - I bought a used bicycle for 6000 INR, std model with 5 gears. and the cost of a drivers lisence is usually more than an entry level car or bike.
                        And i havent heard of mechanic shops or major engine mods in the two years i have been here.
                        So i'm gonna do the dirty work only after i get back . And there are some things you can do only in India and get away with...
