A friend asked the same question to the Yamaha guy standing at the stall but he refused to comment.

Wish they had launched this bike, would have been a fantastic sports tourer. Coupled with the fairing this might have helped Yamaha in their sales. Missed Oppurtunity I would say :(

The 2013 "Blade" tearing up Kochi streets. These pics were clicked just after the bike was delivered, hence the decor on the mirrors.

Was that Ducati an 848 evo? And the Ninja a ZX14R, the 1.4ltr monster?

Honestly, i couldn't identify most bikes. Since they were in opposite direction and at decent speeds i wasn't able to identify the models easily. Could only identify the Makes. I am not sure about the exact count, but there were about 15-18 bikes.

The reason I asked is that it could indeed be some of the BHPians. If its the Ninja monster, it could be insaneroller. And the red 848 evo rider is someone I know who regularly rides with the gang. Not sure if he is a member here but I know him from a different forum.

Here is my ride a Gen 2 Hayabusa(already burt a hole ). I use it to work every day in bangalore unfortunate the traffic doesn't let me cross 60KMPH mark. But then i still have the weekends for longer rides.
