Stunting in India has really come of age now. The unavailability of big powerful bikes has not held back enthusiasts at all. In fact, it has, in a way, helped them. Learning tricks on puny little 176/223cc bikes means that as and when bigger bikes come to India officially, these stunters will only get better.
The bike in picture above is a 223cc 17bhp motorcycle called the Hero Honda Karizma. The other most popular stunting bike is the Bajaj Pulsar 180, which comes with a 176cc 16bhp engine. I have also seen riders on the CVT transmission scooter, the Honda Dio, pulling wheelies at 50-60km/h, and carrying it all the way to 70+km/h! Beat that....
Take my word, the day isnt far, when we will see Indian stunters competing in world stunting championships. Over the last two years, there has a huge growth in the number of good stunters coming up all over India. Wish to see the good old Royal Enfield pulling great wheelies? Head to Delhi... Wish to see kilometer long CVT transmission scooter wheelies? Head to Pune. There is nothing that these bikers can pull off now... Time for an Indian stunt wars then?
