Fantastic pictures, Preetam and Hanmust!

The Harley Sportster looks fabulous! And the R1 looks great too! It's a pretty common sight in Bangalore nowadays. All R1s should be this particular shade of blue IMO!

One more video of the busa, My bro is the one riding it. Please excuse the mallu comments

It was shot by some guys from our gym.

YouTube - My Bro riding the Hayabusa in Trivandrum town.

OT:I wouldn't ride a bike like that, swerving in and out of lanes and getting into the line of oncoming traffic.Not meaning to point a finger at your brother, but no helmet or proper riding gear and the style of riding isn't the best of combinations when on a bike of this nature.
I hope he has an incident-free riding experience all his life.
As for the guys shooting the video, they go very close to the pedestrians and I think at one point they almost get onto the pavement.

I agree with you completely. We usually use every possible riding/safety gear. But in this case, it was actually i who rode the bike(with Helmet and riding gear) to my restaurant, from where my brother took it out for a casual ride(very short distance). hence the lack of gear !

But i apologize for the riding style as most of the time he was trying to escape from the crowd/traffic. But i'm by no means supporting the style of riding.

Ride Safe - Scy.

Hey no apologies necessary.I was trying to make a point with my observations, as a lot of people tend to ride SBKs without the appropriate gear, and weaving in and out of traffic seems stylish but just not right. (Saarillya mone dinesha!)

No idea if they've been posted here before. Got an email from a friend.

Wow!!! A Bombardier Can-Am Spyder RS!! Wonder if part of a show or someone's personal import. A big Kudos to the guy who would import a $20,000 (+110%

) recreational vehicle.

X-machine, you're sure that Can-am was spotted in India? It aint no SBK anyways!

I'm sure it was spotted in India! In fact, if I'm not wrong, it took part in the super car rally in Mumbai a few days back! However, I'm not entirely sure if it qualifies as a SBK. Maybe we should start a thread on ATVs and similar things.

That Can-am Spyder belongs to Bonito Chabria and those pictures (of the Spyder) are from Lonavala Kamats.

Referring to the Honda CB750, I presume? Yes Sir, I believe it was the first street bike to have disc brakes.
