Hi Guys,

I own a VFR800 FI Interceptor in Chennai 11,000 kms clocked, and I can vouch for the fact that the bike is truly amazing. Touched a top speed of 180kmph so far …. Top speed on youtube is 257 kmph on a road in Greece http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNRZjE2sZWk but in India
Hoping this will be launched in India soon so regular maintenance spares may be available from the dealers although they may also sell only to people who buy bikes from them.
Cheers.

In general I would welcome arrival of this and other such high capacity bikes. But…….

Well, this is definitely a good bike but real problem in India seems to be that we can either buy small 150-220 cc bikes or straight away buy gigantic 800 cc and above. So price range is either below 1.2 lakh or above 8-10 lakhs!

I have said in few other forums and will say it here as well. Give me a bike in India which is as reliable as a Pulsar 150 DTSi but a bit more powerful than erstwhile Yamaha RD-350 for around 1.5 lakhs. Expected top speed is around 160-170 kmph with 0-100 time being under 7-8 seconds. Maintenance can be costly but not stratospheric like Yamaha R1 or Honda CBR1000. Oh yes, it should be more good looking than any of the Pulsars which are certainly benchmark for low capacity bikes. I would not spend whopping money (such as 1.5 lakhs) for any bike that doesn’t beat iconic RD-350.

Cheers!

well what the…. yougesh what would be the cost of this machine. i have my word that this killing machine wont be less than some reall good lacks of rs. well the buyers of this type of a baby are not so much. but i guess the company will not exceed more than 250cc since they have to be within the masses if not then the company is toasted for good.

anyways who we are to say anything right know and give our judgments on the subject let the time fly and the right time come in so that the entire nation will come to know themselves what is the next launch by the company going to me in the near future.
