CBZ X-TREME : Quick Preview

Hi, Finally I start to blog after the very long delay.

But this is sort of a cross post from another write-up of mine.
Good for a start. And yes had to be about a bike :) I went on quick visit to Majestic Mobikes, Bangalore yesterday(Nov11, 2006 actually) and checked out the Bike displayed.

Had the cam so hurried up with few pics, was lucky to find couple of black bikes there (no other colors) No tests ride will have to wait for 2 more days. The on road cost with ES is Rs. 63909/-. The other colors available are Silver, Blue, Red. Got a small video of the firing too, very mellow compared to the classic CBZ.

Looks, I havent changed my opinion in general but yes as I thought the only good things are the Rear panel below the seat, the mags and the exhaust sheild. NO not the speedo. I still believe seperate indications for left and right turns are more user freindly. The body colored mirrors are not an eyesore in this case cos the Bike is all black. The seat seemed very comfy. Some things I did not like were the silver lining to the tank, the chrome speedo, wrinkles in the seat (!!!) Chrome panels on the side sheilds More thoughts but nothing significant to write. Over to the photos...
