[livingdead]

we had a bajaj priya,,,, mene khub chalai wo,,but my favorite was my uncles yamaha Rx100,,,,,done a lot of stupid stuff on that.

priya had feminine curves..

Not many here own bikes either. Probably because one cannot really ride it for half the year in the biting cold. And yeah, they're pretty expensive here as well. But those who do own bikes enjoy like no one else during summers and spring.

Are you planning to come back to India? Or has Deutschland won your heart?

The masculine Yezdi..........!!

This one is Jawa.

Yezdi models had starting problem, and they had an unique loud sound.

Of course I'll come back bro. Germany has won my admiration but not my heart.

Wasn't technically mine. Rode one back in my PU days. I liked the power it generated in it's first & second gear(two stroke engines have more power-weight ratio than four stroke ones). Was of immense help in negotiating traffic. But I'd rather take my chances on a bike now. Glad that I survived those reckless days relatively intact.

Maybe we people are a bit different but no ones buys a scooter here....I dunno maybe men think of it as emasculating !

You should go to Trivandrum or Kochi instead of Bangalore. Because the former two are much crappier and will prove more of a challenge!

Rajdoot was a more humble player among the monsters Royal Enfield, Yezdi and Yamaha RD-350.

And anybody has to say anything about this baby??

Even this was a Rajdoot!!

Beech me ek Jawa ka potu aa gaya hai.

Never got to ride one so far. But I might ride one soon enough. A good friend of mine has recently bought a well-maintained beauty.

If you think a harley is emasculating, or a Yezda. I demand you chemically castrate yourself. Then you will physically become your internet persona. Of that of a Dehaati Aurat.

What do students buy then? Four wheelers?

Trust me Ravi, I'll be happy in any part of South India.

of course martial race wont do such a thing..
scooters were popular during licence permit raj ( before 90s), then after liberalization, it nearly died... because of hero-honda bikes.
but then in a brave move, honda brought a gearless scooter to India few years ago(going against market).. and it sells like hot cakes now (because easy to ride in city traffic)

Those mini-Rajdoots were a hit with stunt-riders. I remember seeing them with people who used to ride inside wells at village fairs.

Yamaha RD-350 - Probably our first sports bike.

RD-400 (Can anybody confirm if this baby came to India?)
