Even I would like to know that. Looking at the pic above, you seem to be really stretching to grab the handle bar leaving quite a big gap behind the seat. Is that normal posture for you or is it just this pic? Because you seem to be comfortably reaching the handle bar in all other pics.Originally posted by sudhi_des View Post.

I am 5.8", and I can place both my foot down completely. And I do not ride completely stretching my arms. I bend it a little to avoid pressure on wrists.Originally posted by sudhi_des View Post@ coolboy007 - Congratz and drive safe with all gear all time
White GT is simply stunning.

The first 2 weeks was so painful to my wrists. And after adjusting the arm position, this is never seen again. And my first long ride of 80 kms was not so comfortable to my back. But now it has vanished. May be I have hit the right posture(I am not sure). Have tried small rides of 100+ kms, which was ease and no hassles to the back. Yet to take it for a long ride.MJ

Prepping me up for ride back home
Filling the tummy
This is what i was talking about, see the roads
I almost dropped the bike here- see the slush. With 25 kms on odo this was suicidal.
i think once the legs folded the body position will be comfortableOriginally posted by hss View PostEven I would like to know that.

@nagoo: Now I know you are hoping the full white is available for the 250 too!
That aside, I'm actually waiting to see whether they will really price it under 2L ex-showroom.
@GT owners: Are both those headlights projectors? What is the battery spec?Quench my thirst with gasoline!

Last saturday, we had a small GT650 meet in chennai. Just 4 of us(myself, Brat and couple of non-xbhpians). We met and then had a small ride to a destination that is around 65kms from the city. It was pure awesomeness to see/hear/feel GT's roaring from all sides of you. It was a good and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Most of us were cruising at 120-140's, with a small rip up to 160-180's when the road is clear and safe.
After more than 3 months, now i feel that the bike handles like a dream. The bike is rock solid at high speeds, and cornering is easier.. Very happy with my choice.
Yes, both are projectors. Not sure about battery.Originally posted by Sarvajit View Post@GT owners: Are both those headlights projectors? What is the battery spec?MJ

Thanks a lot Brat, well i have the torso protection ready but i wanted to be easy and comfortable as it was my first time on a bike that too GT after an year of my accident. I just wanted to be free and comfy so avoided the jacket.Originally posted by Brat View PostCoolboy007, Congrats again on the GT, the pics look nice. It would be good to see you wearing torso protection while riding.
Thanks shelton. the white looks much better outside than being inside the showroom premises and thanks to my friend for capturing these moments.Originally posted by shelton_jhCongrats "coolboy" Your bike looks cool in white and your helmet is super cool . Nice to see that you've told someone to capture your ride back home
Thanks brother, well about the brown tan, my heart pinched taking my new ride in slush and it should take me an hour now to clean the slush and prepare it for night ride.Originally posted by hifisharuHope the bike didn't get a brown tan after a ride in the slush
Thanks and i think you should be able to because others areOriginally posted by GowriBut I am not able to view the pics in the page. I only see the text
Thanks Sarvajit, and i would for sure ride safe with this beauty.Originally posted by sarvajitThe white looks amazing! Asolute beauty. Enjoy your ride in the safest manner possible&congrats once again
Thanks, i think you would be perfectly mine, mine is just 5.5" and i can easily ride the bike, foot dont completely touch the ground but its fine - bhagwaan ne kam di hai heightOriginally posted by sudhi_desMay i know how comfortable is the saddle height for a person with height 5.85, And if you don't mind then please share your height
Thanks buddy, well to be honest till now i havent found the perfect position as i did just 30 kms yest through dense traffic and slush etc. Put the strain on wrist and elbow so they are hurting today.Originally posted by hssLooking at the pic above, you seem to be really stretching to grab the handle bar leaving quite a big gap behind the seat. Is that normal posture for you or is it just this pic? Because you seem to be comfortably reaching the handle bar in all other pics.
The tank on GT is huge and my heigh is less so i do have to stretch out but its really not that much, looks much aggravated in the pic.
What i read on the forums was to bend the elbow a lil, will try it out today.
Thanks nagoo.Originally posted by nagooCongractulations !! white does look dashing

I am 167cm and pretty comfortable with the seating position.. However still need to figure out the right position for elbows as on the bumpy roads even a small ride is putting a lot of strain.. I keep the elbows a little bent..not much..Originally posted by sudhi_des View Post@ coolboy007 - Congratz and drive safe with all gear all time
