The experts at Autocar India rated XCD very highly. They haven't reviewed Flame yet, so it'll be advisable to wait for them to test ride it and give their verdict. If it turns out to be better than XCD then go for it. Otherwise go for XCD which is a fine bike and according to their December '07 issue is well recieved by the people and is selling well.
i dunno why u bumped but the Flame is actually a flame. i dunno much about it but the design is simply awesome as Apache .
But dont go for it simply looks CRAP if u ever seen it from back it just looks like a loona
