RED RIDING DUDE: July 2011
http://redridingdude.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
A curious laidback motorcyclist from India. Jul 13, 2011. One of the things that has kept my life interesting for the last 2 months. The longest ride has been 45 kms so far. With company I might go farther. Posted by Sid Soni. Labels: b-twin SPORT 1. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Me and the red FZ. Enter your email address:. Sound of the engine.

RED RIDING DUDE: KTM Duke 200 glimpses
http://redridingdude.blogspot.com/2012/01/ktm-duke-200-glimpses.html
A curious laidback motorcyclist from India. Jan 29, 2012. KTM Duke 200 glimpses. Sharing some pics I clicked at the Kanjurmarg Probiking showroom this aftenoon. Pictures do not necessarily give an idea of the size of the bike. So here's with a rider with a good build and average height. Around 5'8" or 5'9". I was also informed that the bike's gonna have a mileage between 25-30kms/litre and that one shouldn't expect anything above 30kms/litre since it's a street bike and has a short-stroke.

RED RIDING DUDE: Vespa test-ride review
http://redridingdude.blogspot.com/2012/05/vespa-test-ride-review.html
A curious laidback motorcyclist from India. May 22, 2012. I just test-rode the recently launched Piaggio Vespa. And this is a short review. First things first, the scooter is top notch in quality, fit and finish. If someone's wondering what the hell are they charging 77k (on-road price in Ahmedabad) for, this is one of the reasons. And it does feel like it will serve the rider for many years faithfully without hurting the eye and without losing the luster. Posted by Sid Soni. Me and the red FZ.

RED RIDING DUDE: April 2012
http://redridingdude.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
A curious laidback motorcyclist from India. Apr 21, 2012. Oops, sorry Apache! So TVS manages to do this. Words don't fail me right now but then to criticize also there must be some motivation, right? Pulsar 200NS took the entire industry by surprise it seems. Of course, other brands would love to respond. More so, once the bike gets launched. But a response like this is hilarious. Beats Karizma ZMR hands down in the ugliness quotient. Criticism apart, what should TVS have done? If all other bike-makers a...

RED RIDING DUDE: Pulsar 200NS Not A Great Ride After All
http://redridingdude.blogspot.com/2014/05/pulsar-200ns-not-great-ride-after-all.html
A curious laidback motorcyclist from India. May 25, 2014. Pulsar 200NS Not A Great Ride After All. The first time I rode the 200NS was right after its launch in Ahmedabad. Wasn't really a long one and I didn't get off the bike very convinced. The bump in power was palpable but over-all feeling not great. Felt unusually bulky and the fit and finish not to my liking. I asked him to let me go take a ride. He offered me to keep the bike for a couple of days and see how I felt. Posted by Sid Soni. Awesome Inc...

RED RIDING DUDE: December 2011
http://redridingdude.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
A curious laidback motorcyclist from India. Dec 10, 2011. Impulse is just not impulsive - a test-ride review. Picture courtesy: http:/ www.heromotocorp.com/impulse#. Just went for a test-ride of Impulse from the newly christened Hero Motocorp. Well, I knew that the engine is the same that's planted in CBZ Xtreme and Hunk. But the styling captivated me enough to check it out and ride. I own an FZ. And it feels more responsive than the Impulse. What disappoints me about Hero is this half-hearted attempt; s...

RED RIDING DUDE: First experience of the Yamaha FZ-FI
http://redridingdude.blogspot.com/2014/07/first-experience-of-yamaha-fz-fi.html
A curious laidback motorcyclist from India. Jul 20, 2014. First experience of the Yamaha FZ-FI. Just been to the Yamaha showroom near ISRO, Ahmedabad. Here's the little story. I enter the showroom and meet this lady who greets me, "Yes Sir? And I tell her that I want a test-ride of the newest FZ model. She says, "Sir, test-ride is not available for the new model.". That doesn't cheer me and I look around at the displayed motorcycles to find the particular model. I retort, "No! My conversation with him is...

RED RIDING DUDE: February 2014
http://redridingdude.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
A curious laidback motorcyclist from India. Feb 9, 2014. Pulsar CS400, my next bike. So this motorcycle makes me resume my motorcycle-blogging again. And it also kind of pokes me to save some money again so that I am able to buy a new bike again. They call such bikes Street Fighter and such names. Hell, who's fighting? For me this will be the cruiser. Something that I can drive around the town and to other towns at a leisurely speed. Posted by Sid Soni. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
