Riding for past 8 years.

1 started with Kinetic honda.
2 then rode friends YBX, then after some years in 2004, i rode many bikes but none had pickup like that YBX. So got a second hand YBX.
Excellent bike which i like the most till now for its amazing pulling from initial till top speed. Seen no other bike with that kind of pickup till now.
Sold it after 1 1/2 years has i had ruined the engine by doing 40-50 in 1st gear itself like kind of racing all the time.
3 Bought rx135 did some painting & engine work. Nice bike but sold it after 1 1/2 years & thought of buying RXZ & do mods. By the time my family members forced me to buy new bike as i keep on selling bikes.
4 Finally test rode some & got unicorn 2nd gen(the last lot) in 2007 March but very much disapointed with it. Not having pickup like the 1st gen uni which i test rided.

I am a biker at heart but unfortunately without a bike at this time due to pressure from parents and wife about safety.
Started with an RX 100 in 1990 during college.
Parents sold it off when they came to know that it could do crazy speeds. RX got promptly replaced with a Hero Honda Sleek (if any of you can remember that beauty) in 1993. Was an excellent vehicel and was there with me till 2000.
Apart from the HH Sleek, I had a HH Splendor in 1996. Didnt like that bike and sold that in six months. Then bought a Kawasaki Bajaj Caliber and had that with me till 2001 when I moved to the US and sold off all the bikes that I had.
Now parents and wife and completely against me going in for a bike.
