While tht sounds pretty yummy..i want to enjoy her in stock trim first since this is my first ever two stroke.

People,
this guy is a liar, a big one at that. Never trust this man. Being friends with him can result in major financial losses and lot of discrimination.
Not untill long he was the biggest critic of a 2 stroke motorcycle ( i think hes gone mad). He never liked the Yamz.
I am going to put that motorcycle to the use it needs,,, back road, here i come.
LIAR.

LoL..shut upp ponty...i have always loved certain strokers and the RD and the RX-Z are some of them..just wait till you ride her and you'll know its reason of being!

Ya kunal your right. Infact ive also heard how much he hates 2stroke bikes and the sound of them.

Congrats bro. I too have a suprise for you.

Oge. Lots of updates since i bought my white lightening. Fuel tank was badly rusted from inside and the oil pump wasnt working either. Bearings were worn out too. As can be seen in the pic, the bike had an awkwardly positioned bullet handlebar as well.
As of now, oil pump fixed, tank painted from inside, oil changed and engine serviced. New 180 handle bar with zma grips put and the lovely speedo console is functional. Added new seats and tyres as well. Michelin front and rear.here are some pics..Lots of more updates comin up!

Nice bike you got there. Careful with the wheelies, put on some elbow and knee guards. I can hear and feel the wheelie from the photographs itself.

balenopower · 24th August 2009, 18:12

Thanks mate.Ya i am careful with the wheelies

straight6 · 25th August 2009, 01:15

Where did you get the tyres from? Did you go with the stock sizes? Gaurav Batteries had only rear so I had to buy the front from another place.

You should have gone for a customized seat with extra foam in it.
