    Wait some days until the GT visits your nearest showroom so that you can test ride it once and see/hear for yourself , . . .

        I would wait for Power Drift's review as they have their own unique way to make a video and that's far better . . .

        That's the reason I said prince, wait for some time, even in showroom here in Mysore, it hasn't arrived, so we got to wait to wait few more days or a week for it to arrive. . . Hope it's quick, am also eagerly waiting to see and ride it once . . .

        Cheers!!!

          That's so true. They make this hair raising, goose bump inducing videos. Their style of putting across the review is just too stylish yet informative. That Bullet 500 and ,390 Duke review is just a treat to watch, I have seen those two numerous times. No less than watching an action and thrill packed movie

            and then I am because I saw it from his perspective - What is a Cafe Racer to the biking community might simply be a burger delivery bike to the general public.
            True. The two seater will appeal even worse to the public IMHO.

                            opinion
                            HI Guys..i was following up on various reviews of conti GT on various sites and news channels. I have got a word or 2 to say about this bike. The bike looks are good though its subjective. At the same time it does not have the performance to match it. Having 535 CCs under that tank will not help it to touch a Ton (100 MPH) for what it is made (a cafe Racer). Hence as a show piece and for the RE loyalists its big thumbs up and for performance please look for a better option (i mean the duke is the king at present at that price point). This is just my opinion. What say...?

                              I like only one model of RE, i.e. the CLASSIC. No other model can beat it! This one's gud but not a Classic beater. Also, RE, If ur reading this, I'd suggest u to come out with more modern versions of these bikes.
                              All the parts shud be modern, while keeping the design vintage. Basically, like Ducati Retro models, HD 883, etc. Such bikes wud be awesome.
