Hey Vatsal, Just a couple of remarks here and there :-
>> Its not about the C.Cs.Its about beating Yamaha's high racing beast. Your statement tells us that pitting the R15 and even the P220 against bikes like the Comet is OK because its not about the CC's. Its about a 'Korean' bike beating Yamaha's and BAL's High racing beasts. What a Shame! :'( >>And you think that BAL cannt make a 150 bike which can have same power as >>Yamaha's then my dear friend you are� wrong.Just wait for more 3-4 years. When will you ever learn to enjoy what life has to offer now? If you want the most powerful 150 around, go for the Yam. If you want a bigger bike with more value, theres the ZMA and the 220, Period! Why this waiting business? Frankly, this group has waited for 600cc / 1000cc bikes ever since 2003. While a couple of 1000cc's are now available, they're exorbitantly priced. What use is the wait so far? I'm not being pessimistic, I'm just pointing out the facts to date. >>A day will come that P1000 will be competited against R1,GSXR1000,Ninja >>Zx10R.And I challange you P1000 will beat all of them. I hope we all live to see that day. >> And more importantly wait for more 5-6 months when the Kawasakis comes will >> come with the Ninjas.If you go to motorcycle-usa.com you might have seen >> what the hell are Kawasakis. Yes you're right! ... I do remember hell especially when I see the cock-eyed ZX6R. Yes I'm aware that it is also the best performer in the 600cc Racebike category. However I'd prefer the Gixxer for its good all round package of Cost - Performance - Comfort. In the 1000cc Racebike category, I'd go with the Fireblade / GSXR1000 / KTM RC8. The R1 feels quite dead upto 5k RPM and then suddenly the beast wakes up with loads of power. Its fun one off but not for a bike I'd like to keep. The RC8 is a wonderful 1150cc V-Twin which has an awesome pickup and is Fast, but not as much as the Inline fours. However, the way it handled during the 30 hours I had it with me, I'm confident its the best of the lot on track. Offcourse the Ducati 1198 has got to be the very best on track, but I've not been able to get my hands on one yet! I know its gone a little off-topic, but got carried away ... well kind of :) Regards, Eric Disclaimer :- The above is related to my own experience and not extracted from any website with advice from the famous-most of bike gurus.
