It is the steep drop on the back straight of Bajaj Auto's fabulous test track at Chakan and I am on my first quick lap astride what is a familiar looking machine. What is not familiar is the way the bike squats and holds firm as we make a rapid descent before beginning the long uphill sweeping left corner to hit the long long long main straight. Earlier Bajaj Pulsars used to wriggle (and weave somewhat) as you wound the throttle and this latter trait was all about bravery coupled to skill on bikes which made the Indian motorcyclist performance oriented.
