After a long wait for my dream bike, and lots of hard work on the annual closing at my office

i've finally managed to purchase this new motorcycle.

I still remember my college days when I used to request my dad for a new bike and would

always get the same reply - "on your next birthday, son"

Well, he's the second happiest man on earth seeing me riding it in all glory.

All I can say is "Its fun riding it and now im a proud owner of this new bike"

Just thought on sharing the picture and some features with you all.

Hope you guys like it !!

many thanks Xiandi, NrseBiker and CountryYokel

Mike, I got it, actually I was confused as we call it "leg-guard" here.

It was fixed onto the bike with all the other accesories like seat cover, rear view mirrors and the side guard.

Here is a pic of the design I have on my bike-

Happy to hear it. I hope you never need to use them but it's better to be safe than sorry.

My 'dream' bike....dreamed it up....and built it.....

Not allowed one with a motor....do to much damage without it....

I like bikes but can no longer ride due to arthritis and bad bones from a bad bike accident some years ago... so all I can do now is admire them. 

However, that's a nice looking machine you've got there... and be sure to always wear a helmet and ride safely.

Wicked looking bike you've got there, Amit! Congrats! 

Dang Jafo, you must be about 8' tall to be able to ride that thing!

Not quite... thus he has to wear high heels to reach the ground.

Whatever you do, just don't die.

 

edit:

and congrats on fulfilling a college dream.

Before my Honda 750 I had a Suzuki TS100 that'd do 85mph and get me speeding tickets (yeah, it wos the bike's fault)... so your 150cc would be faster than that... and more than fast enough.

Just be darned careful... OK!  Its's 35 years since my accident (some clown in a car ran me off the road), and I'm still suffering for it... arthritis, spinal issues and limited mobility, so be vigilant for the lunatics who think bike riders don't belong, etc.

Feel you're quite correct with the speed thing.....in the 5th top gear, it almost reaches 100mph and due to the weight of the bike, one would'nt even feel how fast he's moving.....though the top speed as per the user manual is 180mph but I can't even think of going beyond 100 due to the crazy speeding cars and the heavy SUV's passing by as jet planes.

Also after hearing bout your accident, im gonna be all the more careful !!

.....though the top speed as per the user manual is 180mph but I can't even think of going beyond 100

Er....I looked up the specs for a 150cc Bajaj ....top speed is 113kph ....which is about 70mph.

Reason it had me wondering was/is I have stood beside [on] the circuit at Phillip Island when Mick Doohan clocked 324kph about a metre and a half from me....on a 500GP bike [Repsol Honda]....with a wee bit more power than 14.2....so the '180mph' will be a slight um.... exaggeration....

However....back in the day when Australia decided to limit new riders' bike/engine capacity to 250cc .... along came th KZR250 ..... that could actually make it to 130mph ....bit of a joke of a power limit, really....

Er....I looked up the specs for a 150cc Bajaj ....top speed is 113kph ....which is about 70mph.

A slight confusion between mph and kmph, just re-checked the user manual and it says kmph.

So, I believe you're correct- "180 Kilometers per Hour = 111.8468146027201 Miles per Hour" almost 113 kmph.

Congrats,and some survival tips.

1:Ride like you are invisible. Other traffic already thinks you are.

2: Get a proper full-face helmet,as good as you can afford. (hey,it's your brain,what's it worth to you?)

3: Get a very,very LOUD horn. 110 db or better. You'll thank me someday.
