19 Places Every Muslim Must Visit in India

Ok
I have seen only 350 cc bullet used by UP police inspectors in olden days . Now all of them have jeeps .
they look exactly the same, the displacement is all in the piston bore.

500s are sadly being phased away now with the twins
 
. . . .
In the olden days it was Bullet, Yedzi & Rajdoots. I use to have an Yezdi.

Then came all these small 100 CC bikes like Yamaha, Hero Honda & Kawasakhi to help people save on petrol costs.

I briefly had a Road King too.

My cousin had the Jawa 350.

My dad was also a Jawa and Bullet guy.

Cheers, Doc

Hero honda was most popular in 90s because of it's four stroke engine which gave 75 km per litre .

The Jawas are back

just not the original 2 stroke ones.

42 is still a good looking old school bike.

We had to contend with 150 cc bajaj vespa in our college days .

We also had mostly 100 cc 2 strokes only in college buddy.

It's only now that parents splurge on kids and kids wrinkle their noses.

Hero Honda's claim was 100 km per litre but it gave around 90 on highways.

Yamaha was decent. Kawasaki was inexpensive of the lot but had lot of maintenance issues unlike Honda and Yamaha.

If I had to pick one, I would pick Yamaha over the others. Yamaha still gave 80 km per litre with good power.

Honda always struggled for power when you had two or more people on the bike.

When it comes to scooters Chetak was the king. Nothing else even comes close.

I have moved on to a cycle now.

@King Julien I just googled. N Lookmanji is still around! And while we call it chikkat halwa, it's actually called Karachi Halwa.

Cheers, Doc

Is karachi halwa same a bombay halwa? I do not like bombay halwa. It is more like a jelly or bubble gum than a sweet. My favorite sweets have always been the bengali sweets, Jahangirs and hot jelebis.

Thread should be renamed to

Best Bike getaways from a lynch site

or

Ruins of Islamic History in India

In happier times we Indians should offer you guys a Kartarpur type corridor as well.

And maybe you could let me ride overland to Iran.
