దేవుడు ఉన్నాడురోయ్

Everyone who knows me for a good duration of time knows that I love cars and bikes. They'd also know that I hate sports bikes but thats another issue. The reason I hate majority of bikes of Indian origin is because they don't belong to a proper bike category. For the sake of information here are the categories....
  1. Cruiser
  2. Sport bikes
  3. Touring
  4. Sport touring
  5. Naked bike
  6. Off-road
  7. Adventure-touring
  8. Enduro
  9. Supermoto

Majority bikes that we have in India do not belong to any of the above categories. Except for avenger which comes under Cruiser bikes category and Yamaha's FZ16 and FZS which come under the naked bike category. What we have now are the bikes that belong to a whole new category called 'Economy bikes'. I hate when these company wallahs call their 125cc bikes as sports bikes. Because they are not. I hate when people sit on their Bajaj Pulsar and pretend they are riding a DUCATI 1000CC bike. Its bordering perversion and extremely pathetic. How 'bout we have bikes that are proper bikes. Ofcourse with population like ours if everyone drives Harleys we would wipe out the atmosphere, which is why I understand our need for economy bikes. But how 'bout having the economy bikes in some proper form. Like they did with the avenger or FZs. I wish Hero Honda would read this blog and atleast try and make one bike that belongs to a proper category. If our bike makers really want to make a sports bike then make a bike of more than 750cc. AND WIN SOME RACES. AND THEN YOU CAN BOAST ABOUT YOUR SO CALLED RACING DNA. Are you listening TVS........?

When I heard Harley is coming to INDIA, it blew my mind. I believe that atleast a few people now will be able to afford proper bikes and other companies will step up and start producing some proper bikes. HARLEY is coming to India and so is Triumph Motorcycles. Thank you God.
