Ninja 650R - Ownership Thread

[James]

Long story short.. Not wanting to take a chance with my luck (52 people at PBK today for 6 bikes ) plus was out of town and could not go, I booked the bike in Mangalore, and it has arrived at showroom today will be going down there coming weekend and riding back. A few friends (GT650N and Duke, maybe MT01)joining me so should be good ride through the ghats. Bike has gone for PDI today and I can pick it up anytime from Monday..now just cant wait.

Feels really good after the year long wait to get my hands on one, will update pics of delivery and ride once I pick up Green Arrow.

That sounds great! Congrats mate! Lemme know if you are free to meetup on monday @ mlore. Id love to have a look at the bike if possible.

Cheers!

Do you stay in bangalore? If yes then how about registration?

Well getting the bike registered is not too much of a runaround these days more so because the bike is from Karnataka. The dealer has said he will get help with the registration.

Does anyone know what the 2 outlets throw out? There are 2 outlets to remove excessive coolant or fuel or something else. it kind of sticks out just below the gear lever?

My guess is that the Architect and Engr who worked on N250R saree guard shown the world that how beautifully and systematically they can come up with any changes in short time. so they might have poached by other companies , so left over were doing different R&D on these new bikes [read as saree guard]

^^^ no pic !!

Another view of the Sail aka saree guard

Here is another view if you have not already seen of the now famed saree guard...

Edit: I just saw some pics of the 2011 bike and the saree guard on that was almost the same size but was fit over the grabrail!

This is my first post to this forum and hope i am able to add some value to the discussion.

Had a word with the Dehra Dun Probiking showroom manager Mr. Mayank Sharma. I dont know if it is okay to post mobile nos. on the forum. His number is available on the Baja Probikijng dealer locator page.

He says that bookings are open in Dun and the OTR price is 5.15L. Also, the company is giving bikes to agencies based on monthly allocations and so going forward we will have to wait for a maximum of a month once the booking is done.

Financing options range from 8.5% to 10.5% depending on the scheme on offer from Bajaj.
Other banks can be looked in to as well.

I am looking for a January 2013 purchase date...need to get my finances in order first. Mayank told me to send over the needed documents and booking amount 15 days in advance. Having done this he can have the bike registered with the Dun RTO and ready in a week.

Hope it helped prospective N650R buyers.

Deliveries started in Mumbai.
