What is on Your Mind?

Hi folks,

i know its totally diff topic on this community ... :-)
Are you interested in bike riding !!!
if yes , what is your fav bike ?
what bike are you having now at your home ?
what is your longest ride ?

I have a indian made 200cc bike .. most of the time, i would ride on beach roads at top speed 136 - 140 km/h ...
my longest ride is from chennai to tanjore 400 kms..

come on !! let share your exp !!!

For the longest time i used to drive a Suzuki 750 GHN "Water Buffalo", heavily customized with a Rickman construction-set frame and a 6-gear gearbox. It was one of the big (3cyl., 750ccm) two-strokes which ruled the streets in the eighties. After tuning it was worth 145hp (back then this was next to unlimited) and because of the water cooling (hence the nickname) the chance of a piston jamming was next to nil. i remember this was quite different with the parallel Kawasaki model, the H1, which had an air-cooled motor of the same dimension. The middle cylinder regularly had thermic problems and the piston seizures quite regular.

About 6 years back i was >< that far away of purchasing one of the then-new Suzuki GSX1300-R, the Hayabuza. There is an NOx option with some additional customizing sold by a tuner here which claims to boost the power to roughly 240hp and the top speed to ~320km/h (~200mph). They claim to do away with the miles-long acceleration phase to get this big bike past the 300km/h barrier. Everything was set already, but my daughter kept me from buying it. Maybe i missed some fun but it sure kept her happy - and since a year or so i can imagine myself on something less fast and more comfortable - i guess i am getting old and senile now. ;-))
