Its when I get smoked in corners that it gets my attention. <BR/><BR/>No, but you're right of course. If the pricing went too far beyond Rs 60K for something like this, it would be an expensive, still desirable, but expensive machine.<BR/><BR/>@hrishi<BR/>8-D fire-starter<BR/><BR/>@sprotor<BR/>You're right of course.

Its another matter that arranging the money's gonna be a b***h<BR/><BR/>@revhard<BR/>Its correct. This is one of those motors that makes no power until you'r tired of waiting, and then BAM, its off like a cat which got sprayed with mace under the tail. In fact, the higher rpm the peak torque arrives at, the more peaky and top-endy the bike will usually turn out to be. So, if you don't like revving engines, avoid bikes with high torque peaks (rev-wise)<BR/><BR/>@payeng<BR/>Point taken. But what's broken can always be fixed. Sometimes it takes a lot of time, and a heck of a lot of effort... This time, I think someone at Yamaha is (finally) working towards that... pray for them, please?rearsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436775522778611766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612698.post-72646404050002475242007-09-12T14:53:00.000+05:302007-09-12T14:53:00.000+05:30My current ride is a Yamaha RX100..Yamaha better n...<B>My current ride is a Yamaha RX100..</B><BR/><BR/>Yamaha better not bring bikes like these and make a mess of it.
