Indian bikes vs Pakistani bikes

[booster]

125deluxe is 11bhp.

Well engine wise there doesn't seem to be much difference at least in the 125 cc segment.

In India the 125 cc Yamaha Gladiator and the 125 cc Honda CBF Stunner also produces 11 bhp.

But yes from 150 cc and above bikes, Indian bikes get more sophisticated and powerful.

they are using modern technologies like dtsi etc so bhp remain same but fuel average is much better thats why market is shifting on higher models

[DesiBoy]

Also technologies like Liquid Cooled engines as Fuel Injection

The there are also a different breed of bikers in India who love riding Heavy, Old Fashioned bikes. Riders of Royal Enfield Bikes.

The RX135 was a great bike. Sad that being a 2 stroke it had to be out of production 5-6 years back due to pollution norms.

@Desiboy

Ya!RX-135 was one of the most powerful bike of its time(Y)

Do you have any info on new Honda CBF-150.I have heard that it is coming with fuel injection to counter FZ-16.

This is 20 year old model and Yamaha has stopped manufacturing it in India but you can get a second hand well maintained bike easily.

The new Yamaha FZ-S ....

@Rohan - hey bro, read ur message yesterday, I'm fine, been a bit busy of late, so lesser surfing

[RB26DETT]

And since we are on the subject of 2 strokers, here's the bike that was considered the baap of Indian 2 strokers back in the late 90s .....

^^the 110cc Suzuki Shogun.

Even the Yamaha RXs & Kawasaki RTZs were scared to take this one on in drags .... it went like stink & every self respecting college kid owned one.

Unfortunately, it's reign was short lived since emission norms killed off all 2 strokers in India by the early 2000s.

@RB26DETT

Good job brother(Y)(Y)(Y)(Y)(Y)

how it is possible that a 110 cc bike can beat 135cc bike

[2468]

our CG125 looks more graceful and smart than these ugly pagly fat chickens (new yamahaz) plus the sound that our cg125 produces, no bike in the world can produce:p

[2468]

@change

at 1st and second gear it is possible but at higher gears more ccz take the lead, this doesnt mean that 150cc 4stroke would take lead on 125cc 2stroke

[RB26DETT]

@change - valid question. To answer it, i'll have to take you back into Indian biking history.

When the Shogun came out, it was up against

^^ Yamaha's RX100 and

^^ Kawasaki's KB 100 RTZ

So, displacing 10cc more than them, it beat them easily. Besides, TVS (who were Suzuki's partner in India then) tuned it for out & out ripping & the results were just amazing.

Here are some reviews of the Shogun .... I'll quote a few of 'Spider13's lines .... "
This bike was sheer madness. Period. When it came out in 1994, it simply shut up the critics and the layman alike. There was nothing even remotely like it and to be frank there never will be anything like it ever .... Unlike most other bikes, even with quite rough use, I managed to get 30+ kmpl from her ..... But TVS had created such a hype around the bike that I also felt going racing would be the best way of gauging the bike’s true capabilities .... The stock bike had no problems touching a peak speed of 125 kmph. With all the mods, well, i was the one having problems hanging on to the bike!!! We clocked a true speed of, wait for it 148 kmph!
"

Needless to say, the Shogun was a huge hit for TVS & Suzuki. But then, the emission norms got really strict & TVS & Suzuki had a falling out. So TVS decided to kill the Shogun.

Yamaha & Kawasaki however tried to fight on .... Yamaha added a catalytic converter & 35cc to the RX turning it into the RX135 (pictures posted a few posts back) & Kawasaki did the same for the KB 125. But rising fuel prices & popularity of 4 stroke models ensured their demise. By 2002, there were no 2 stroke models left in the Indian market.

Hope u enjoyed that history lesson ...
