I strongly disagree with the bold part. How many ninja owners have thrashed underside of their bike while riding on road? I haven't heard of any and I know at least 6 of them in Pune. The person who initiated this thread has taken his ninja offroading for Amby - Tamhini stretch. It surely was not all comfy for him but he did not thrash underside of his bike.

I think this discussion is about Ninja & Hyosung and not about Leh rides.

Sorry Vishwas Uncle for the OT

.. But the topic was in fact about Leh Rides
@Hyperion lets take that discussion to the PMs
@TS Among the 2

Ninja 650R
Approx pricing 5-5.5 Lac
Power 71 bhp @ 8500 rpm
Torque 66 N·m @ 7000 rpm
Weight 204 KG

Hyosung GT650R
Approx pricing 4.5-5 lac
Power 76.5 bhp @ 9000rpm
Torque 68 Nm @ 7000rpm
Weight 208 KG

On pure performance figures there is no doubt that the Hyosung is a really good buy. But w.r.t. ownership, its better to stick to the Ninja..

Antz beta, jeete raho. If you read carefully the highlighted parts from the question posed by Jakrap, he needs a 500+cc bike for high speed touring and preferably the bike should be all purpose.

This topic is NOT about Leh rides.

.

Was looking for an allrounder bike (high speeds near 200 kmph and which could be used for offroading purposes when required, may be a trip to Ladakh

)

Well, I dont want to get in the battle of what is a SBK and what is not, but this and the bandit are the only bikes in the country that can do speeds of around 200 and take a beating at the hills.

Have you actually done this before on those bikes?

Edit : I have ridden both these bikes so asking.

MT01 · 08-14-2010, 04:10 PM

Nah, I havent.

But 850 cc to me sounds good enough for 200.
I know that there is hardly any protection on the Hyper and the wind blast will blow you off the bike, but still...
The question is "whether it can do 200 or not?", and not that "on which bike would you do 200?"

Dude, I have done more than 225 kmph on a street fighter bike so who says that the wind blast blows you off the bike? Have you thought about crouching?

Again, who says you need more than 400 cc to cross 200? I have done 180 kmph on my ninja 250r.

We are arguing about something for which this thread was NOT created. Jakrap wanted an opinion about preferring one of the two bikes suggested and not a discourse from everyone about all other bikes.

MT01 · 08-14-2010, 04:20 PM

Autocar India said when they road-tested the Honda CBR-1000-R(naked) that 'When you cross 200, the wind blast becomes too much'

And the Hyper has even less protection, so the Wind blast got to be too much.

And back to topic, if I were you, I would take none of these bikes to that far up.

There is a difference between too much wind blast and getting blown out of bike due to wind blast.

How come this topic relates to you taking any of the bikes to that far up? When you mention that far up, you mean higher in speed or higher in altitude?

Edit : Just for info purpose, I have never heard about CBR 1000R naked bike. I would love to read this review. Can you help me out with this link? Thanks.
