“I love to play with the wind. The speed and balance of Honda CBR is so perfect that its riding is simply exhilarating”, said Ali. He bought Honda CBR 600 RR two weeks back from Singapore.

Ali claimed that no one in the State has this bike. When asked about his experience of bike, Muslim said that he never attempted to run the bike at high speed in the City. “Taking every precautionary measures, I rode the bike with the speed of almost 180 km/hour on Indore-Bhopal highway. It was a memorable experience of my life.

“The low height and weight of the bike has made it easy for me to ride. It thrills me as no other person has this bike in the City. My friends always ask me for a ride of this lovely bike”, said a proud Farooq.

Omar, whose kid bike has the maximum speed of 25 km/hr, said that rides the bike at slow speed. Both riders can be seen riding their bikes on VIP Road in Bhopal in evenings.
