WOWWWW! RD was my first bike, well I learned riding on HIM! Had to sell him for specific reasons, but am surely getting another MONSTER SOON! Just to have a hang of it and to maintain it life long!
The maintenance was hard, yes, but the time I had spend on the bike is directly proportional to the SATISFACTION I have got riding it! zooooom on the Bangalore roads! Still a Dream Bike for me! I used to call him my TIGER, royal stuff :) Yes, I daily maintain him, because I loved him so much, in fact he was an extension to my being!
Perhaps Rajdoot / Yamaha should have made available this loverly monster for us, it is a joy and pure ADRENALINE on an RD!
