wow dippy as far as i know neel he was a sports bike person and not a cruiser guy. so this is news to me. he would be looking small on a valkyrie f6.

guys got this picture of a restored katana 750s that was there for the pune rally.

Its strange. You go all your life not having seen these bikes, then suddenly within a month, you catch a glimpse of two of them!

Rtech i guess we were not looking hard enough. the other pune bike i was telling you about is a no no to touch.

Yamaha FZ6N. i think this looks better than the MT01 also. any idea how much this would cost. i seem to have found a bike i would like to buy in the near future. Rtech any idea of how good this bike is?

The FZ6 would cost around 6.5-7 lakhs new (under TOR). Great bike! Uses the older R6 engine, with a boost to torque lower down.

Wait for a bit and lets see if Yamaha launch the 1000cc version official. If so, that would be a great buy.

Now, what do I have to do to get my hands on the VFR800 in the background! And that ZZR600 makes me remember my ol' Zed. Sniff...

thanks Rtech i did consider the FZ1N but somehow the side exhaust put me off. it would have looked much better with an underseat exhaust like its younger sibling. idealy i like both the R1 the MT01 the suzuki bulevard M109r2 and now the FZ6. i think a garage is complete with a sports and easy rideing cruiser. both have different moods to them. i am in no hurry to buy a bike at this moment. next year i guess when the bikes officially come down. thinking of choices at the moment.

i did not know you wanted a VFR800. A friend in bombay had one and sold it in desperation at a throw away price. he had offered it to me but i did not have the money at that point to pay at one shot.

aargghh! I am never around when these things happen! Do keep me in mind for any future urgent sales!

No speedy, it is the GSX-R 750. Try and search on the net for an 80's 1000. You wont find any as there were none. I see a similar 750 everyday buddy. There was the gsx-r 1100 in the 80s.

[Rtech]

Kartik, the 1100 was launched in 1986. Hard to say for sure from the pics posted, but the look of the exhaust points towards this being a 1100 and not a 750.

To the best of my knowledge -Neel sold the valkyrie - a long time ago- unless we are talking about someone else!

fireblader i am not a bike worm so i go by the stickering on the bike. it read GSX R1000. that is what i have said will go there and get some closer pictures so that it can be identified clearly. by the looks of it the bike is bigger than a 750.

Thats all? Jeez, I could have skipped the 180 UG3 and gone for that..darn, anyone in bangalore knows of such deals?

[Rtech]

Ok. Posting some bikes from the speedrun 2004. this one should jog a few memories.
R-L: CBR400rr / Superblackbird / FZR400 / GSXR1000


GSXR1000 / FZR400


Ducati 999


no need to say what it is.

[speedy]

Rtech the ducati 999 belonged to a friend of mine and the fairings were changed to red later on. you can also see part of johnny's cbx1000 in the picture of the black GSX 1300.
