The Official Pune Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[shrinathrao]

Rohan is the full replacement work of the CBR carried out in pune or is it somewhere else?

[trustvishwas]

Secret Info: Vishwas told me not to tell anybody...

Why should my name be dragged in all controversies? TenHut has just put on sticker of 600 on his 250 to impress his potential gfs.Since no one will be impressed with him in the first place, he is trying to create some interest somewhere.

RishabH, you have already posted twice today so you can post max.3 more or xBhp will be firewalled at your office. As you know, your seth stays next door to me

Has anyone used the Orazo Picus boots? These are the boots given as prize by xBhp for best blogger.

There is a dedicated thread for it somewhere.... OldFox was all praise about them! They used it in the GIR too.. pretty nice reviews!

he's riding both, but these are monsters and hay when you upgraded your ninja250 with a ninja 600

The Ninja 600 looks so mean as compared to the sleepy CeeBeeR!

On the Dhoom brake horns.

Satyen, I checked the thread about orazo boots. Basically they can be classified as better finished safety shoes and not riding shoes. Thanks for the info.

[satyenpoojary]

I will take the cbr anyday provided I get a new one at the same cost

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride :P

The CeeBeeR from what I have heard of is like a kitten as compared to the Ninja which is like a mad cat, and when you cross a certain RPM, its almost like if someone stepped on its tail! Ferocious to its core!

@Vishwas, thats exactly what I had written on that thread too
Is this a part of your leh shopping? (ask for two for discounts :P I know you can source best deals :P)

SLEEEPY ?
Sweet lord of titties forgive him for he knows not what he speaks !

Agreed though...the 6R ( can we not call it the Ninja 600 please ? ) is one mean looking aggressive princess Xena.
The CBR 600RR looks what it is...chic, urban, refined, sophisticated and classy. At the track though its the silent killer. Straight six Supersports Championships and consecutive 4 AMA Titles on stock conditions and the world still prefers other bikes on the track ?

If I am riding a 600 and not riding either a CBR 600RR or the Triumph Daytona 675 then I am a retard and there is no other way around it.
(Sorry Sagar)

Inder if you go to nanapeth on any weekend you may find lot of options, nowadys they have also something with a scream and even with some drum beats.

Absolutely not ! May I grab this opportunity to voice opinions no one cares about ? I may be percieved to be in an act of self justification through this post but i shall make it abundantly clear that that is the least of my intentions. I really wanna clear this false air about the CBRs. I have ridden CBR, Red Rooster R6 (different machine), stock R6, GSX600R, and a ZX6R. All, except the GSX6R, at the track. It is after havng ridden these and after consulting the coach for hours that I made the decision for a CBR. The coach was for Triumph but that cannot be bought here.

I was really looking forward towards having this talk one day. I am bored now so I shall have it now
When people asked me why I was buying a 600 and not a litre I often told them that I was gunning for the track ! 99/100 of them laughed at the choice of 600RR and said if its the track it has to be the R6.
A lot of people are simply convinced of the R6s and 6Rs abilities by pure heresay.
Ferocious,Cat, WildCat, Puma, Merciless, Traumatizers, Decimators...people will resort to such fine vocabularies and the readers mind which needs an idol to worship starts believing that the Zx6R or the R6s indeed are all of that; ferocious,traumatizing,decimating usw.
Having ridden all three I can guarantee that unless you are some super pro racer you cannot be faster on the R6 or the 6R. For about a good 5 years I will be faster on the 600RR. People love to say the CBRs are street bikes. WRONG. CBRs are direct descendants of sportbikes with most grandprix wins ever. They have the strongest racing heritage to their name.
The CBR600RR has five AMA FX titles in a row and six straight World Supersport championships in addition to Best Middleweight Supersport crowns.

I really think that its about time we look at the CBRs from a different perspective as most of what we think they are today is a conclusion jumped upon by utter heresay.

[satyenpoojary]

looks like I stepped on another tail :P
Sleepy was more from the looks point of it... the headlamps to be precise :P
The CeeBeeR looks like just awake from a nice lil nap, and the 6r looks like a asian chic with sharp eyes :P

I am all game for having a different perspective, if it means free rides on them :P
Having zero experience with either of the bikes mentioned, I think I would let my trap shut! but yeah, if so many 'people' say such things, then may be there is something which makes them say that too!

I agree with you! The track record for most of the CBR line up is impeccable. Most racers will swear by the sweet handling and strong engines that CBRs have enjoyed over years.
Not to mention that the CBRs have enjoyed the same technology as used in NSRs and the RC Series.
One needs to keep in mind that most of the bikes that we set out to compare, are closely matched and overshadow others in some department or the other. The best one clearly is the most balanced one with least degree of overshadow with reference to others. To quote it, "Scissors cut paper, Rock crushes scissors, paper covers rock"...but for me, a CBR is a sweet beast.

& I would still pay in cash upfront for cbr if it's available new for 5-6 lacs

^+1. True that.

The CeeBeeR 600 was one of the first Honda sports model to take chassis and aerodynamics directly from the MotoGP winning RC211V design and development. The problem with Hondas is more about their refinement and forgiving nature (which is why many bikers internationally say hondas are boring and very calm), which after a point gets a bit annoying, especially to super-pro racers, who are looking for intense involvement and minutest feedback. That said, the new Hondas are much more involving and feedback oriented.

Like TenHut said, unless one is a super-pro racer like Rajini, Preetham, Dilip or Rohit Giri, the learners will be more comfortable and hence quicker astride the CBR600RR than the R6 or the 6R or the Gixxer 600.

[TenHut]

looks like I stepped on another tail :P

..would you say your own ?
Jokes apart...I am just using this conversation to get my point across. I aint initiated by your post or anything. Remember I had the option of getting a ZX6R or the R6 when I was buying the CBR. Both were a lakh rupee cheaper than the CBR. So I aint justifying after having bought the CBR. This was my school of thought when i was weighing the pros and cons of all the bikes before making any purchase. This was my school of thought after having consulted all the red rooster racers and coaches and having test ridden all 4 myself.

but yeah, if so many 'people' say such things, then may be there is 'something' which makes them say that too!

That something = Heresay..no kidding mate !

@Vishwas, thats exactly what I had written on that thread too
Is this a part of your leh shopping? (ask for two for discounts :P I know you can source best deals :P)

The one CBR 600RR I had driven was like a mad dog running after a postman. There was no torque curve. It was like a torque ledge. In fact, I could not upshift from first to second at high rpm because I was afraid of letting go of my couple of fingers from the grip. At full throttle, in any gear, it felt like the bike would go away from me and I will be flat on my azz.

Boots - Yes, Leh is one consideration and safety is another major consideration.

After a row of accidents, Praful, Sagar, TenHut, I have slowly started investing in high quality safety gear. That is why I bought Astar bionic knee guards last week. I have also borrowed a spine guard. I have decided to go only for good quality stuff now. I don't want to make the mistake of buying crap at a low price. In fact, couple of weeks back, I had dragged Sagar & TenHut to cramster shop in pune to check out the boots but after consultation with these two, found that the boot was easily flexing at ankle so did not buy it.

Looking at the galacial pace of my purchases due to scarcity of funds, I will be able to complete all the elements in next decade or so.
