    Read somewhere that Bajaj is offering a 'free' cowl and a 'free' cover? (I think wheelieboy mentioned that or was it someone else!) were you offered anyting?
    I was offered free Wait Training

    Stuff for free? They can stuff themselves and give me the bike in a reasonable amount of time.

    I want I want! But what happens to the sand, do they melt to form marbles or something! I dont want to hurt the person riding behind using the enlarged cubic capacity powered pelet launcher!

    Dear RPM,
    I have observed you have been coming late to work and leaving very late. Let me know if I should increase the octane content to help you manage time?
    Yours trully,
    SatyenKamalDoss!
    No more incentives for you this year...

    Use lower octane fuel for long and you might end up increasing the cubic capacity of your bike. Now that's a tip and a little known motorcycling trivia.
    Thanks.
    Use it for a LOT longer and you'll have a free flow engine!

    Increase in frustration is the only thing that comes to mind.

    Anyway...looks like bikes are getting allocated and that is the important thing.

    We already have the owner of possibly the FIRST 650R in India as a member on the Facebook group. Search for "India Kawasaki Ninja 650R Owners Group" on Facebook and ask to be added. At this time only those who have booked the 650R will be added to the group.

    Happy Waiting

    LOL! I didn't know about that until the recent engine service.The mechanic never explained how the insides of it get larger in size.So Speed fuel is good to go for bikes like ninja 650 and karizma right? (Mentioned ninja just to stay On topic :P ) One should never ever use the "normal fuel",unless he wants that extra cubic power?

    So that is the widely available normal petrol here? :S Which is cheaper than Speed ,which is cheaper than speed 97. So by all means one should never use the "normal petrol" in their vehicles at all if it has all the consequences mentioned above? :O (asking coz quite recently i have been using it a lot now since the rise in petrol prices)

    Depends of where you stand in the overall queue. I don't think they can deliver bikes based on national booking. This is just too complicated logistically. I believe they will ship out a pre-allocated number of bikes to each dealership and the dealership delivers in the order of booking pending payment of balance amount.

    The allocated number of bikes can be in the low single digits keeping in mind the issues the Japanese manufacturers are facing with production and parts supply.

    Fantastic review on this thread. me super exited and have booked the machine. the upright sitting position and the wait for so many years was the driver...couldnt wait any more for decently priced bike.

    ^^ that link is crap.

    Yamaha YZF R6 is available in India at the cost of Rs. 6,00,000/-. (Indian Rupees) INR. The price of Yamaha YZF R6 mentioned here exclusive of tax, insurance, registration and the accessories. The Yamaha YZF R6 price mentioned above as per the Ex-Showroom prices. One should contact the Yamaha YZF R6 dealer to know the exact price of bike.
    try this.

    the R6 doesn't sell at dealerships here.
