I just went to Murthal today for a small ride with a few of my friends, they were asking for party so i asked them to give me company on the ride which they thankfully provided.

Did 150 kms today and the most surprising part which came out is FE - it gave me 24 km/l and this is from the day we took delivery till now a total of 260 kms. Got tankful that day and reset the trip, and got tankful again today so - total kms/ fuel qty = FE, i think i did it right.

GT performed flawless, opened her up a bit today and surprisingly the vibes and harshness have gone down a lot. Hit 135 before i could think whats happening so just closed the throttle again

It was a good ride

I can see the anguish and pain of being away from ur GT but all the best buddy, this wait would just feel so good when you sit on ur sbk for the first time. All the best buddy, hope u have bought good riding gear, with the kind of power GT has its very important to be mature with the right wrist and have the best riding gear you can buy,

MY HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE GT OWNERS!!! Way to go guys! Thats one hell of a bike! I cannot stop dreaming about it from the very time I saw it!

I want to say this:
"There are Hayabusas, there are Gixxers, there are R1s, and then there is, the one and the only, the GT650R!"
This is going to be a CULT machine! Hell its one already! What a beauty!

I can only imagine how proud you Hyosingers must feel!

Why Hyosingers? Well, we love to make sweet music with our Hyosungs dont we?

On a more personally-informative note, you guys are living your dreams and here I am, living nightmares on a daily basis, waiting for the delivery of my GT650R, 2 weeks past the booking day. I booked it the first day the dealership opened here! Its unfair to make me wait! Its another 10 days or so (hopefully) of sleepless nights and GT Dreams () for me I guess, before I lay my hands on this dreamy bike.

About this thread, the ownership experiences coupled with the timeline pictures and reviews of the bike are just fantastic! Reading all the great posts here is better than doing absolutely anything else at all...movies, partying, socializing,whatever. But these posts are injurious to health for guys like me, they make the wait to own the bike even more agonizing! What with all the great reviews, pictures and experiences...the govt should hire you as The Third Degree experts!

I read a lot of reviews of this bike and the subsequent cribbing about build quality, fibre noise, first gear issue, engine stall blah blah blah! That actually makes me want to buy this bike even more! The things people expect from a sportsbike costing 5.6 L is just so unjustified. If you disagree, then go buy the Ninja 650..the powerful commuter that you always wanted. But dont come back complaining when you turn around, sitting on it, and notice there is hardly any Bike behind you! Cribbing about the tiny size, the barely audible exhaust note and the plain looks. Hey, you got great build quality, a 650cc engine, smoother gears, great mileage, a bright green color and paid 50K less...what you complaining about???
HA! Read this thread and get jealous..is all I can say. I mean what is a bike without a few flaws? Where is the biking experience without the rider having to stay sharp and knowledgeable about his ride and being involved in the evolution? Come on. the CULT bikes have always been the one that misbehaved. I dont like the boring oh-so-perfect category. I have my cars for that.

Well, I just can't wait to own this baby and every passing hour feels like a day! To all you extremely fortunate blokes who already own it...best of luck and please continue posting all the great things you guys have to say. And never forget to add pictures!

I shall be back soon to bug you guys a wee bit more with my write-up of my first time. I am inspired.

XBHP Rocks!

Have a fantastic day!
Cheers!

Wow!
Aren't you one happy camper.

Got the 1st servicing done for my white GT... Added Castrol 10w-50 synthetic oil costed around 2.5k... Now the gear shifting has become slightly better and can easily shift to Neutral when the engine is running.

Congrats once again patty on your new bike and I can see that you have been taking care of it well
Are you sure that it was a 10W50 grade oil,as manufacture recommends 10W40 grade oil

I'm really pissed with the build quality......

Patty,
Sorry to hear about that bro. Am equally worried about mine as i have the same color in GT and this would be most prominent in white color, just ask Garware for replacement.

Patty,
Can you explain the problem a lil more, i am not getting it, any photo? Would all bikes be affected by it?

Yeah bro,I guess speaking to them would help and they may offer a replacement for that part.It's going to be 4 months now of owning my GT650R and no problem yet
