        Why shouldn't you go for the new 2011 R15? it will possibly lauch mid/end of January 2011. I am also waiting to get that.
        And for the G2G, is it possible to get other(any friends etc.) ride?

            I dont want to take the bike through the curves and hills when i cant ride it at peak rpm , the engine is very sensitive as i have come to understand from the ownership thread and max speed i can attain within restrictions is 74 k/h

            and it'll cost more , i think its better to take the cbr for that money , and ive already booked mine .

            As for friends who have bikes , There are reasons why i joined xbhp

            • @Vishnu & Praveen: Hi leaders...Rooms booked? Lacking clarity of the entire programme.. Give some outline of the whole programme and the exact minimum expense per head for the entire trip including T_shirt. It will helpful to all participants before the start
              Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the seat.

                  • Hi,

                    Currently, the status is 14 confirmed riders and 8 tentative riders. So we are going with a figure of 18 (14+(8/2)).

                    Expense Estimate is as follows:

                    Accomodation+ Food: (1500per room/5persons)*2days+300 = 900

                    Fuel + Food @ Munnar = 300

                    Fuel for TVM guys: ((300km*2way)/40kmpl)*Rs60 = 900
                    Fuel for CHN guys: ((125km*2way)/40kmpl)*Rs60 = 375


                    So, estimated total expense:
                    TVM: 2100
                    CHN:1575


                    We have dropped the plan for T-shirt due to the low count.

                    All other plans still the same.

                    Adjust the calculation based on your mileage(currently using 40kmpl), and other expenses not included here. Also advisable to have some extra cash for any emergency.


                    Lets discuss if anyone has clarifications/suggestions.

                                There is also another reason,mostly bikers are the "carriers" of stuff/heroine from munnar to outerside so we with riding gears and all other stuff will spice up the scenario
