Thanks Buddy..

I'm Tall

Good catch there HSS

Im 6'3". I feel completely relaxed and at home on the 650N. In fact I also found the 650R to be okay once it got moving and I was able to get my feet off the ground and on the footpegs.

Hey Crusoe, how tall are you? GT650, though being quite a big bike is looking like a normal sized bike on you.

Yeah bro you got it right.

Thank you Mel!

Here it is.. not exactly high resolution stuff, but should go about in expressing the general idea. This is no laptop bag but could easily house one. Notice how the bungee cords can be easily clamped onto the restrainers provided near the footpegs?










@Crusoe - Nice pics!

Check this out brat Shift-I

How easy/hard is it to install a shift light on the GT? Has anyone tried this already? I hate hitting the rev limiter and it seems to be happening much too frequently, Need more revs!

Thanks Sambit, Melroy (hope I got the name right)

I must admit that sometimes, from some angles, the bike looks nice, but otherwise its a very very simple design. Which again is something I'm grateful for.

I have already had one biker ride up my leg while looking at the bike, and another who tried to overtake me by accelerating hard resulting in a dangerous situation. So while I love bikes like the R1 and MVs and Ducatis, I also appreciate the hard time faced by their riders due to this very reason. I had read several times of bikers complaining about the risk posed to them by people staring at the bike while riding and others challenging them to race.

While the looks are pretty ordinary, the fun factor is HUGE!

It whooshes forward even at low rpms, darts through gaps with ease, is very very comfortable in terms of suspension in the 50-140kmph range.

Vibrations are under control till about 7000-8000 rpm, beyond that there is an urgency that scares me too much to worry about vibrations.
Less than 5000rpm there is almost no vibration reaching me through the gloves and seat or footpegs. This is after the first service, earlier there was noticeably more vibes.

In short... I'm Loving It

WOW..... awesum pics.Just drooling over them.... sexy lady in white Minis...

Thanks Prateek for posting the pictures, I still dont understand how to get that done. I tried looking for some "How to upload pics" thread, but my unscientific (clueless) search didnt yield anything.

Santoosh thanks for the comments. I'll get in touch with you soon, hopefully we should be able to meet up sometime in good old Bengaluru.
