Ladies and Gentlemen,
Firstly, please accept my sincere apologies for having been away! Been sick, been busy, been here and there, been generally fucked up! :-) But then, arent we all!
Popped in to check my mail and saw a lot of comments pouring for my rather controversial post on the Yamaha R15 (YZF? Really?)
Before reading ahead, please check my original post (the one with my thoughts..)
HERE, then read a really interesting reader feedback
HERE, after which I wanted to know if I was indeed the only one on planet India who wasn't smitten by the baby (infantile?) R1 so you can also check the poll update for the R15 and its benefits
HERE, after which, please take a look at the poll results over
HERE.
Having said that, here's a little note to the people who differ with me: <> I dont own an R15, probably never will so I really dont care!
<> If you have the money, you like the bike, GO BUY IT! Dont worry about what some fuckhead on the Internet has to say about it, good or bad. Its as simple as that. I'll give you an example, Journos around the world pretty much panned the 2005 ZX10R for various reasons, and am hunting for that bike like Indiana Jones on another crusade!
<> If you like the bike, you have the money, you own the bike, ENJOY THE BIKE! Dont spend time on the Internet reading what others have to say about it!
<> My views, are MY views, which is why the blog in the first place! Rather self explanatory I should think no?! Some agree, some dont! Dont try to win me over, you cant, I have my views, I respect yours, but arguing it out might certainly help both of us learn something out of it!
<> Most importantly: (which is why this bullet is separate from the rest: If you dont know much about riding bikes, please dont even bother commenting on the technalities involved,
am neither hungry for comments, nor for the hits, as a matter of fact, am so fucking self obsessed I can read my own blog over and over (which I used to before taking it public!) You probably would think me a mannerless psycho, I couldnt agree more! But
in the name of the Lord, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, or whoever else you believe in, Please don't try to sell me the R15... because I grew up on RD350s and RX100s...
I think I know a thing or two more about Yamaha bikes than the R15 generation....
Oh and by the way,
I just happen to own a Yamaha YZF-R1 ... and an RD350. So I think I know where am coming from when I say what I have to say about the R15, and am rather surprised at some of the responses because
I have always maintained that it is a GOOD BIKE! Just over-priced... (which is when all the other points come into play)
