Superman and the everyday hero come together. Magic happensBy:Aneesh Shivanekar |Published :March 08, 2011  Big bikes are it. They simply have everything it takes to put that spark in your everyday existence, to sway that magic wand and turn even the most bloodless of souls into the swift, life-inducing joy that is a yellow butterfly on a sunny morning. Ride a powerful set of two wheels even relatively fast and your whole sense of what’s what in the automotive food chain and just ‘how fast is fast’ changes as quickly as the snap of the fingers. However, all said and done, those manic examples of horsepower excess are way beyond what most of us can use, much less exploit. The upgrade in performance is as drastic as handing a caveman a light sabre and a water cannon, all to take on the hapless bunny merrily chomping away in the shrubbery. So, then, what I’m going to propose to you in the following lines might sound a bit unadventurous at first, maybe even boring and sluggishly practical, but you won’t deny by the end of it that it’ll make good sense.

I want those fairings on a motorcycle. I want that 200 horsepower liquid-cooled monstrosity that will effortlessly pull arms right out of their respective sockets. I want that race-tuned chassis that Ben Spies slides around effortlessly on Sunday afternoons. I want it all. It’s as natural as wanting Catherine Zeta Jones. And why not, when you can put down that wad of greenies on the table and ride one home? The bike, I meant. (Zeta Jones? You wish!) But take a look at this one. If the Gixxer Thou is Zeta Jones, the Bandit is the sweet girl that lives next door. What we have here is not exactly supermodel-material, but lovely enough to question the need for one. She has her priorities sorted for the real world. So,while the stunning piece of eye candy will eventually throw a massive tantrum outside the shop over that Swarovski diamond set, slap you for not making enough to afford a Riva yacht and call you a loser for the hours spent on the Playstation, our real-world charmer will let you have all the fun with almost none of the niggles. Sounds like a deal?
