V-shaped tail light needs a fresh design
You don’t really need a horn on these machines. The toggle switch allows you to scroll through a plethora of important information available on the digital screen, lets you switch between power and traction control modes tooÂ
Twist for a twister

Keep staring and a shell might just pop out of those bazookas and shatter your screen
RVMs do a great job of mirroring what you leave behind
That ‘R’ is a meaningful suffix which added more madness to what used to be just a ZX-14
Those ridges are a result of a lot of wind cutting through over the years
Look me in the eye mister!!
Headlamps ensure you can continue riding fast, even after Sun down
22-liters of the good stuff fits inside
Shifting through the 6-speed box is a smooth affair
The biggest Ninja of them all!
What you see once in the holy seat
A steering damper would’ve sweetened the deal
Levers on both sides are adjustable

Hi Sundaram,
We don’t really mention top speeds in our reviews, but we can tell you we did cross the barriers of silly. It felt like we were hanging on for dear life on a supersonic jet’s wing.
What was the top speed you managed and how did it feel?
best description in words that i really connected to.
We don’t know which school asks a 15-year old to review a Rohit Shetty movie. The world’s most powerful production motorcycle isn’t simple and to the point machinery. There’s always a spec sheet available if you wish to rummage through simple pointers. We are sure if you ride one of these engineering marvels some day, you’d come back distracted too. There’s a world that thrills more than Bollywood, we hope you experience it. Your opinion is valued though and we’ll take it in our stride as good feedback 🙂
Thanks!
The language used in the article is too distracting. It reads pretty much like a 15 year old writing for his school magazine’s Rohith Shetty movie review. Keeping it simple and to the point would be better in my opinion.
