Sarge, you have no idea how weird it feels, not only small horsepower but the bike is extremely light compared to what I ride. Feels almost like a scooter to me but i'm loving the freedom I now have versus having to take auto taxis everywhere and it's good to be in control. The 750 must have been a huge leap, especially with the torque, throttle control definitely becomes important very quickly. Enjoy.

What i heard that all these things are opposite in US , canada .
Above all

Thanks for the advice, you are correct North America is all left hand drive and on the right side of the road. Fortunately for me, I spent 2 months in Ireland honing my left hand side of the road driving skills.

There is also some track time happening next month so does that sound tempting for you?

Cheers and have a pleasant and safe stay here.
Thank you all for the warm welcome. I will definitely take some of you up on your offers.

Thank Aditya, I got your PM, the track sounds tempting but I didn't bring the proper gear to ride track, so I'll decline, also because of insurance purposes.

I might give you a call later this week and see if there is anything happening.

Hi Scorpion, rather than making multiple posts to quote multiple people, please use the "multi-quote" button (the button on the right side of the 'quote' button, with a '+' sign.

Click on this button to the post you want to reply to, the button color will turn red and the '+' sign will turn into '-'. Do the same with as many posts you want to reply to and then hit the "reply" button in the end and you are done.

The 750 was surely a huge leap but I am enjoying the power and the quick throttle response....for a lot of people the "brutale" throttle feels very snatchy but i just feel that it responds fast, quite like that actually....thankfully the roads here are really nice and the traffic is not crazy like it would be back home in Mumbai so it dint take a lot of time getting used to this bike
There are some really beautiful places to visit around Bangalore, I am sure you will have a nice time during your stay there...have a blast and wish you a happy new year.
