    any idea how much is the waiting for white?
    Yep! Pic's are taken in Varanasi's Vishal Auto's.

    As mentioned, Red/Black/Blue have Zero waiting period.
    Yellow take's a week to get delivered and White is strolling at 15 day's waiting time maximum.

    Though I would like to mention here that we got the first lot pretty late. Even the showcase wehicle arrived here just before Cristmas, at the time when rest of India was already riding their ZMR's.
    We get the new launches bit late than major cities but when we get the supply we get it in huge lots.
    ZMR First delivery was done on 26th Dec, and relevently we have only One Ninja250 owner, 28 ZMR owner's and 58 R15 owners here. It's all not because of the shortage of Supply but because relatively lesser demand. Due to the only fact that supply is more than demand here or Demand is a bit less than supply.

Plus dont forget tmrw, put both Michelins front and rear, call up Aminbhai at metro in advance and get them done in tubeless. Take my or Mohsins reference, and he will do the needful. Get rid of the stock tyre tmrw itself.
          yeah ...i wana chg tyres :P
          it would b dun na @ 3k for both rear & front .....

              These are few old pic's of the recent lot which reached the showroom few day's ago.
              so I finally picked my lazy ass over to the nearest showroom and checked out few ZMR's there. Though whatever i'll write would only be a "one touch feel" as I didn't lay my hand's on any of them for long. There were many Lazy fellow's their just like me, Drooling around the bike, touching the babe all around and making the manager a bit furious.

              Honestly, the bike look's huge as well as stunning in flesh. For the sake of comparison, it look slightly bigger plus is MUCH HEAVIER than R15 and colour quality is great though not on par. Look wise I found out that tank and seat is a bit similar to the ZMA-R, except that each and everything is Diffrent. Headlight is seriously bright and tail light look's Kiss ready when lit up. Overall eveything which light's up in night on this bike is great to look at, create's a wow factor.

              FI. That is a thing worth mentioning here.
              It show's right from first gear. Pull's away neatly with power in each gear. It's a bit tough to manage the dimension in city premice's, need's practice. Handling is great as usual. though i would save some finger's not writing much about Perfomance as I drove it only for few kilometer's inside the city and hence cannot feel all the Seventeen horses inside.

              Riding posture is NOT SPORTY and hence will not give any back ache on long drive's. Engine is cool and sound's refined, though when Revvd i felt a bit of ZMA-R's Dna in it.

              Ah! one more thing the waiting period for RED/BLACK/BLUE ZMR is ZERO day's here. Yup! you read it right, ZERO day's, the fellow out there was ready to hand over the ZMR key's to me the moment I gave him Cash.

              That's all for now, as I have to cook food for Saturday night

              Any question's, ask me! ( I'll not answer them :P )

                                How will this black ZMR look with a Red Rim Tape. Guys, do you have any suggestion. I was thinking it for my upcoming black ZMR.
