Default Ninja 650R has delivered a death blow to Hyosung

At last! Ninja 650R has been launched for an unbelievable 4.57 lakhs! I am sure they delivered a deathblow to Hyosung and Garware in India. Though the Hyosung 650 is equally good, neither hyosung or garware have the brand value and reputation of Kawasaki and Bajaj. But still...

Looks wise, Hyosung looks way better(more sporty looking)
Exhaust note again, Ninja 650R has an agricultural motor sound where as hyosung's got a racy exhaust sound to it.
Power more or less both are same with 72 BHP, but Hyosung is 10-12 Kgs heavier than Ninja

Its a tough choice to make.

Overall quality and feel of the bike was good though.The bike paint job had a nice bright finish look to it.The GT650R chassis is of steel so is the Ninja650.The aluminium chassis are available on the 600cc Inline 4 cyclinder bikes.

@pushkarb.Thanks for the wishes.Can't wait to get my hands on the bike.
