My new bike..

[livingdead]

looks like a commuter bike... could have gone for enfield, if you have a car already and want to ride bike once a while.

I owned the first 200 in the country, weeks before it was launched.

Its definitely a 200 motor. And its nothing like we've ever seen in India. Its just too much of a bike in such a small package.

And I bought it for 1.29 lacs on road!

Cheers, Doc

Duke 200 for 1.29!!!! in which state?

Maharashtra. Poona.

That was the price at launch.

I sold one of my Bullets (the uber crappy UCE 500) for 1.4 and got the 200.

Cheers, Doc

had used Bullet (old classic model) briefly in the past but found it too noisy so sold it off within 2 months..I hate all types of pollution...but yes, bullet is a class and it has its own followers...as I had mentioned somewhere in the past, Bullet/Endfield is Indian Harley Davidson ...

Congrats bro. Nice bike!

Did you also look at the Gixxer and the FZ25?

Cheers, Doc

yes I did...in fact I evaluated these 3 bikes only and after test drive and online reviews, decided to go for Honda Hornet...but yes, Yamaha and Suzuki bikes are also very nice. Its just that I had to marry only one ;-)

Can you please write a short note in your impressions on all three. Your personal ride impressions.

Cheers, Doc

@JD_In Congrats. I am planning to get a new car for dad and maybe just Squeeze abt 2lakh for a bike upgrade. Keep updated on your ride.

Your bikers are a scared and docile lot in comparison to Poona.

Where do you fight traffic, Doc? It's regular for me to wiggle past roadblocks (read brain dead in cars) to and from Hinjewadi Phase III.

After Dhaka, the Egyptians and Amdavadis are the worst out there.

Had first hand Exp in Gandhinagar. Accidents and rash driving was the only entertainment out there. Used to see a couple of scooty riding aunties dash into each other ever single day. They just got up, dusted themselves and went on their way. Buisness as usual.

It's not a fight on my bike bro. It's samurai Katana time. Lethal slicing terrorism. And Camp and its surroundings are where the bloodletting takes place. We should meet!

Definitely! Haven't seen a PDFer in the wild.

Witnessing something like that would make me puke violently. The mere sight of a two wheeler gets on my nerves.
