        It helps big time. I am never going to participate in a race, but when I see one, I want to know what are the changes done on the ride!

                Method of induction means, Fuel Injection or carb. You can switch between the two.
                There is no forced induction for bikes,.

                @Kushanth - I havent even ridden the karizma yet, although its at home since over 24hrs now .
                We'll do one run in the full race mode, lets see what we can clock.
                My target is 150kmph on the karizma. That thing is very much capable. And now after the tweeks its indeed faster than what it was ever.

                • Fairin is gone to save weight, i just had a casual speed run with proper launch i guess i would have done in 22-25 secs. The bike is with joel and its getting even more fine tuned.

                  @Joel dont u feel the compression in above 200psi ???

                    • ^ Kushanth rode the bike, not me. I havent gone past 60kmph on that bike. I've just parked it at home and I'm working on the bike. Kushanth took it for a casual spin and did this topspeed.
                      My Fiero is getting shape now. The bike SHOULD be ready within 48hours and I'll do a speed check. The Fiero is running an all-out radical set-up with mods that I have never done earlier. Every engine component is worked, except the gearbox and clutch plates. I have to however see how the bike takes shape and runs. I'm working on the bike since the last 2 weeks non-stop.
                      Meanwhile preparing kushanth's karizma as well.
                      The karizma has a few more tweeks to be completed and then its full race ready. The bike will be more peppy in its final form. i.e in 2 days.
                      There is also a mad unicorn which I have worked on. That bike is now in full form. When we tested last evening against my R15 on a 200mtrs patch, it took off like my R15 was a mere 100cc bike. Wheelie from 1st to 2nd gear too. Your eyes wont believe that its a unicorn though

                        I hope you are talking about the same UNI which you had bought of the test that day.. hey i know it will be more powerful now

                        • ^Joel that unicorn is not supposed to behave like that lol, Its very aggressive and with that kind of weight its fun to ride. Vikram must be enjoying the bike big time.

                          • OMG..The ZMA just flied.In fact the speedo climbed as fast as the Ninja 250.100km/hr came up in 6-7 seconds flat.Great going, Kushanth!! And yeah can we know what all mods it has undergone.

                            @joel
                            What else mods the Unicorn has undergone?? Last time i rode i was mightily impressed.The growl and the pull amazed me!!

                            • That uni is more aggressive than what it was. . With more weight reduction and now in a full race-bike guise it looks more eye-candy. I didnt know that I could turn lame looking bikes into such aggresive and mean lookers.. Will post the pics later.

                              The Karizma is the least radical of the three bikes. Looks very close to a stock bike, with all the cycle parts being stock. if only the karizma can also be lightened by atleast some 15-20kgs, it will be a bomb.
