@viraj: no offence frn but as a fellow automotive engineer and i believe u too must be atleast a mech engineer..it really hurts when auto enthusiasts misspell “brake” or “braking” as “break” or “breaking”

A great bike, its sad that we in India have to pay 12 lakhs for this thing… over in Saudi Arabia (motoring heaven) it costs just 50,000 Riyals or 5,20,000 Rupees.. and as an added bonus petrol costs just 6 Indian Rupees a litre (.50 Riyals)… Speed cameras are rare and roads are so smooth that you could skate over there with chappals… (no kidding just do a youtube search “saudi road skating”)… On top of all that, you can find the best accessories in the world. My old friend had an exhaust system for his CBR600 which had a control box that changes the sounds coming from the pipe… U wanna fulfill your motoring dreams, head over there..

Dear vikas,

I’m also one owner of r15 completed almost 2k. Dreamed to buy r1 but stopped at r15. For discussion or submitting review, I REQUEST ALL READERS/ WRITERS TO TALK ON TECH DETAILS which will help a non-tech guy in buying a bike. I am currently working with leading automobile engines manufacturing plant. And interested in tech discussion at bike advice. For Vikas, you could have mentioned about the synchronous breaking implemnted in r1 for front & rear hydraulic breaks. FOR READERS LET ME TELL ABOUT THIS, while riding r1, if you press front break & NOT REAR ONE, at once then…….. you will fall down ? Na………. all the hyd fluid will be firstly supplied to the rear breaks first through synchronous flow control valve ( located near you right leg, while riding r1 ) then remaining fluid will be supplied to front one. Regards,

Viraj.

@vikas, i’m not saying you bought intruder,but from whom you bought your r1,you have mentioned it,
if you really bought r1 then tell me one thing,when you feel your r1 is slower than our indian bikes?if you ans this,then i’ll believe you.
