Does'nt this look nice?

Sutmbled on this beautiful looking motorcycle. Could this be the new Pulsar being spelled out by Bajaj recently?

Sure this looks great...Resembles the KTM's Duke motorcycle though. If u notice closely on the side panel below the engine, it reads "200" !!




Bikers, this could just be a rendering of a bike enthusiast. So lets not anticipate too much :)

Writeup: Muthathi

After a long time of break we finally did a short one day ride to Muthati. We were four of us on 4 motorcycles. We had bikes from 150cc to 220cc and beginner to expert riders in the group.

Pops the PRObiker

Once we crossed the town kanakapura, the landscape started changing, full of lush green fields on hilly landscapes. Goats,sheeps and cattle are everywhere. What a scene change between bangalore and kanakapura! From sathanur the ghat section starts, the winding roads come to with absolutely no warning.

The Lineup

The winding roads prooved to be serious fun for us. But its tough for a beginner to enjoy these roads. Pops would agree with that :-). I would want to ride again on these roads agin, just for the sake of riding.
