Hi everyone,

My name is Shamik Banerjee, a married man with simple desires in life like travelling the world with some nice motorcycles thrown in the mix. I am currently based out of Delhi though always been a Kolkata guy. I know some of you though other forums and facebook. Glad to be a part of Motoroids and I hope to learn and contribute whatever I can.

Thats me on my first, current and only ride in Spiti Valley. I had a RD350 for 3 years before it got stolen.

Welcome and the thread enviously approved courtesy the pic with the Himalayas in the background

Welcome. When are you getting some company to your Unicorn.

Reading the topic title, I had a feeling that it might be you but then wasn't expecting a new handle.

[Silver Phantom]

Cool.. Another Unicorn Uncle like me... hehehe.. Welcome here mate..

Welcome Mr. Banerjee...was surprised to see the intro. I was under the impression you were already here

@Navpaaji: Am sure the "Silent killer-aka-uncle's bike" would be getting a companion very soon- we both know what its going to be

[ShamikB]

Thanks everyone for the welcome.

Navendu & Deepak: The CBR will be home soon, before the end of March in all probability.

[nav75]

CBR?
I thought you were waiting for the 350/690.

[pulsurge]

^^I doubt...his eagerness always showed that he always wanted the CBR

[ShamikB]

Nav: KTMs? Me? Nopes, they arent for me (specially the Duke 200)! I would love to own the Ninja 650 but right now have to contend with a 250 and hence the CBR.

Cheers,
Shamik

Hatt sala.. Another Unicorner changing to CBR.. Coz even that is my Dream Bike too...

@Shamik: Chalo, congrats on the 250 for now, until you lay your hands on the 650. So, when are you getting it? I am sure, you will get it before the snowed out roads are opened.

[pulsurge]

He would be getting the new three colour version...so I guess maybe this month end or April.

@Shamik: What is the OTR cost at your place?

Thanks! Should be getting it before the month end! Snow may be enticing for you guys who are starved of it, I have had enough of it in the last few years and its a PITA when you get stuck in a bike. I have mostly cross country rides planned on the CBR for the next 2 years that I plan to keep it.

I like the red one more, the white looks better in photos than in day light The OTR for the non-ABS version is 1.56 lakhs in Delhi.
