Thread: The xBhp Ninja 650R Review

Tried replying earlier, but somehow the post did not make it through. Here's my piece of advice. I was confused as you, eager to get into the 600 class. Hyosung was readily available but not the N650r. But am glad i waited, the N650r is a class apart, the engine is quick, loads of power on the low & mid range and believe me, no matter what the others say, it is a way better bike in terms of performance and quality than the Hyosung. So, it all boils down to this, is your money precious, go in for the N650r. Its a Kawi bro, you are not making a mistake in anyone's opinion. Welcome to the 600s whenever you are ready!!

If you should choose to go the Ninja 650R route - do look us up on facebook "Kawasaki Ninja 650R India Owner's Group". It is for owners only and we've got around 65 members thoroughly enjoying their machines with many group buys for helmets, radiator guards, HID lights, Brake parts etc. going on.

Ninja 650R - I own one and I love it. It is a do-it-all bike and everyone needs something like this in the garage.

If anyone is comparing the Kawasaki to the Hyosung and thinks the Hyosung is better...please stop drinking/smoking/shooting-up whatever hallucinogen you are on. There is no comparison in terms of the quality of the product...absolutely no comparison. the Hyosung is a pile of junk on wheels with a sweet Zuki derived engine in between. the only thing worth having in that package is the v-twin engine, everything else can be tossed in the bin. The Kawasaki is the better bike.

heard the bookings are clsoed? when is 2012 version coming?

I am also waiting for the ninja 650 booking to open.....

Many many +1s to this. I have seen a few GTs up close and think that they are pathetic in front of the N650s. In this time and age, the GTs quality of workmanship is amazingly shoddy. Once the N 650 is in, the GTs will get an unceremonious burial.

I had read of an odd comparo the other day - between the N650 and the T Bonneville on ADV. Quite educative it was. I had earlier been a Bonneville fan but on reading this comparo, I am in two minds.

Split personality: 2012 Ninja 650 or Bonneville? - ADVrider

Hi, I heard of intense engine heating on the ninja 250 during mid Delhi summer when 40+ degree, heating your thighs to almost unbearable. How does it get on ninja 650 during summer.

Hi FTLutkarsh,

Can you please give details about the price and booking amount etc.

Thanks

Ok..so a friend of mine called the Kanpur Probiking showroom to inquire about the N650.

The dealer quoted an ex-showroom price of Rs 5.8 lakhs and an OTR of Rs. 6.5 Lakhs

Thats a full 2 lakhs more than the Hyosung Gt650N

Is Bajaj seriously over-estimating the market-value of its brand? Or is the dealer overcharging for early booking? coz none of the other probiking outlets have any info on the bookings as of now?

I hope its the latter otherwise its Hello Hyosung for me.
