Bikes - The best way to read a guy..


Ever wondered how easier it would be to categorize people on the way they go about with their things. It is like presenting a simple catalogue and asked to choose the best from. But, we only wish so. One of the most prominent common linkages amongst the guys in the age group 18-25 is their passion for biking. Even if they do not have one (passion), they would definitely use a bike to commute. Even if they do not have one (bike), they will use their friends'. Such are the guys divided initially. So, what are these catalogue businesses all about?

<=110cc


Hero Honda: Splendor, Passion, CD-Dawn, CD-Deluxe.

TVS: Star.

Bajaj: Platina, Discover100.


I am not describing each of the guy's bikes in this category because they are the "Sambar" guys. They very well come under the non-passionate-biking category and are termed "The safe" guys. No wonder Hero Honda operates majority of the bikes in this category. They drive so that they won't waste their time commuting and can invest their "saved time" studying or going to temple. So that, they won't waste petrol; so that, they will be safe on road and so that, they can say "We are Desh ki Dhadkan". We got to give them the tag because, they do save petrol.


>110cc && <150cc:


Hero Honda: Glamour

Honda: Shine, Stunner

Bajaj: XCD, Discover, Platina125, Pulsar135


Glamour, a good bike, but, never a girl would fall for a guy riding in this bike.

Shine, an affordable version of Unicorn and nothing special about it.

Stunner, the poor-man's Karizma and is definitely not as amazing as it looks.

And, as expected, Bajaj steals the category, as guys preferring bikes from this category are as not as passionate as the above one or the below one. When around with their girl, they prefer "The Safe" guy tag, but, when their girl is not around, they portrait themselves as "the dude" which they are not. And this category earns the name "In-between" because it is "Hamaraaaa Bajaj".


>=150cc && <180cc


Hero Honda: CBZ xtreme, Hunk

Bajaj: Pular150

Honda: Unicorn

TVS: Apache160

Yamaha: FZ-S, FZ-16, R-15, Fazer


They say they are the hot guys. With little more efforts, they can transcend to the real hot dudes. But, they are the self-contained guys who are happy with the "dude" tag.

CBZ - one amazing invention in the Indian market and a leap forward. I know many will agree when I say that it opened the market of >100cc.

Hunk is as promising as it looks and a cool bike to have in your kitty.

When the Definitely Male, picks up, he is the pick-up service for many girls. The seats are so designed for it.

How often do people realize that there went a Unicorn. Girls prefer guys with Unicorn just for the fact that they are the "safer dudes".

They say Apache160 is faster than Pulsar180, but, I never felt so and girls hate guys with this bike, just purely for its racing abilities.

And this category is single-handedly stolen by Yamaha for its super-miniature versions. Pleasure to race in R-15, FZs and add the double-eyed Fazer to it. "Yes! Yamaha". The benchmark of true racing.


>=180cc && <=250cc


Bajaj: Pulsar180, Avenger200, Pulsar220

TVS: Apache RTR180

Hero Honda: Karizma

Kawasakhi: Ninja


Pulsar180, truly the Definitely Male than its 150cc. Racing is so easy in this bike that you actually forget the speed at which you are travelling.

Pulsar220 looks odd, but, is giving a good fight to Karizma. Girls with racing IQ will prefer their men to have atleast either of them.

The first cruise bike till now - Avenger. Riding Avenger is like faking orgasm. One does not get the cruise feel if you are tall. And short guys, have a better chance of hitting on a girl with this.

RTR180 stands firmly with its tag "Racing DNA Unleashed". Certainly, it has.

Karizma is good with Hrithik on it, but, guys if you love racing, Ninja is on its way on Indian roads.

With one of these bikes you are sure to find a hottie sitting behind.


>250cc:


Royal Enfield: Classic350, Classic500, ThunderBird Twinspark, Electra, Machismo350, Machismo500


The final category on Indian roads. Here, it is not whether the bike suits you or not, it is about whether you suit the bike. Royal Enfield, truly dons this category. Macho guys, who are speed+long distance travel. I think you get what I mean. Travel is made so easy that you only get the best out of it. Girls should prefer guys with cruises because, they are secure, they are costly and they are definitely the head-turner. No matter at what speed you go, you will receive attention. You will become popular because of your bike and of course because of your girl.


When I conclude this, I have ridden almost all the bikes mentioned above, but, there is a special place in my heart for one of the best inventions in Indian Racing- Yamaha RX100. It is completely out of production, but, none can stop noticing you when you ride it on the road. Yet, my dream of riding a RX100 eludes me still and the perfect woman too....

totally biased.. u missed the main point of riding. its the passion tat counts not the bike. so it s not fair to categorize bikers based on the bike which they ride. i prefer riding a hero honda splendor than a bloody pulsar...

Unknown said...

im definitely quite a bit biased wid bikes..guy wid an awesme bike is surely spotted in a crowd..
n yes,
my personal thot,"it's not just the bike,bt the Rider" dt'll help fetch him "the" chic...:-)

apple said...

I've got NO idea about bikes n all..! Hell the only bike (its not evn a bike.. more like a moped) I ride is my roomies Activa..! Dat too to get suttas!! :)
Anyways one of my colleagues is onsite.. n he has kept his bike @ my place.. its Yamaha RD350!! some 30 years old I think...!! n dat guy bought it for sth like 1lakh!! :O

vir said...

yeah! u missed the passion.
and one more thing u catagorise the grl with the bike nt guys.
each bike has it's own term & condition man, depends upon circumstances,even I had freedom bt thunderbird now ,so what the catogorisation here?

vir said...

and one thing more
farha's personal thot is 99% true

Madhan said...

I felt a more appropriate title would be "the best bike to get a girl."

But a nice comparison neverthless!

Tippu Sultan said...

@farha, i think v had a pretty long discussion on tht.. and da duel is still pending to b completed..

@abir, wen u realised tht "freedom" is nt da bike 4 u, u moved up higher in da scale.. so, evn wen u argue abt da rider thing, a guy wud nevr b compromised on it.. he ll eventually brk out n go kickass..

@alok, u evn knw wat an RD350 is.. its too good a 1 to ride.. b happy tht u hav atleast seen tht..

@sangeet.. i think da bettr heading wud have been.. "Bikes - a guide to complete a man.."..

on a lighter note!

"Travel is made so easy that you only get the best out of it. Girls should prefer guys with cruises because, they are secure, they are costly and they are definitely the head-turner.....You will become popular because of your bike and of course because of your girl."

Tippu are u asking some female, any female to ask u out. This felt like an ad! :P hehe

hahah.. exactly my thoughts madhan...

ranjit said...

nice post , reallly liked the explanations u gave

Senthil Velavan said...

lotta research !!
but too shallow a judgment !!
u cant compare a bikers spirit or a racers instinct with jus d bike he owns !
neels activa or a scooty pep vud challenge a cruiser in otta odasal roads n something like bangalore traffic !
:P
