he has topped out on the nh-1 (he lives in punjab)
me being his cousin, so i know this.
regarding the heat stuff, he doesnt ride it too much in city, mostly on the out-skirts or on the nh-1
ive been to pune, banglore, bombay, nasik, kholapur.....u got big roads in punjab?...im schocked u can top out on a 1000 in india.. ihave only been on the bombay-pune expressway its the longest i have seen during my stay in india...if he was in pune hed be lucky to shift to second gear
bikes normally get to their top speed quite fast as compared to cars..
the nh-1 is a 6lane highway.. and there are stretches (like between ludhiana and ambala) where there is not a car for kms..
on this very stretch i saw 165 on my ikon 1.6 with 4 ppl on board n full luggage
