Hehe, Barkha, you definitely get a starter kit with the bike - 2 keys... to get you started. All the best for the impending aquisition.
@Satyen : i think i am going to need that pinch as well...lol.

[Barkha]

Yup thats it.. just the keys, no cover, no free service, 1ltr of petrol and they will change your LHS grab rail for payment of 800bucks and not even give you back the barbeque grill/ soree guard. There u go u now have delivery of the new bike...You could try your luck with Pro Biking for the free LHS, no one i know of, has been lucky. N Whoa whats with the shopping list of bikes, we normally buy one bike and start our shopping list for accessories thereafter. You didnt happen to win a lottery, by any chance...???

Hi to all teh N650 owners!!!!!! I had two minds between N650 and GT650 (sole deciding point was the service centre of bajaj...its less that 100 Meters from my house (surely will miss the exhaust note of GT ) Visited the Pro-biking showroom in vizag. booking is open as of now. uopn entering the showroom i felt like i was totaly alone with 6 beasts by me (read DUKE 200) ...no one else....5 mins passed....smell of new bike ....then suddenly a nice lady walked upto me and asked which bike am i looking for ? i : N650....girl"What". i: Ninja 650. girl: Oh!!! i was asked to wait until the sales rep came ...i waited for 20mins...then Guy with ornage KTM t-shirt came and greeted me and I said, please sit down (mera hi ghar samjho)(he didnt get it..he dont know hindi)..lol....anyway...i got several questions for him but got one honest answer. i am sorry Ma'am i am not aware of all the details of the N650. please give you details and will send a sales rep with all the details to ur house by today evening. considering its Navy day in vizag i em really not expecting anyone to call/come. upon asking why there is no show/TD bike? . Ans :Its a very expensive bike , we dont keep one for TD. asked about the insurance . got a honest answer again : i dont know but ill find out and call you back. I dont know but i found the whole experience very pleasing....no lies not buts and ifs....way better that my previous Honda expecience when i got the CBR250R....OTR was quoted at 5.67..will check if i can get the LHS grab rail for free...booking in Feb 2013.
Looking forward to the my "Green tree frog"!!!

Heyyyy! Lady on a 650!? That's so cool!

Probably the first in the country if I'm not mistaken - congratulations! Regarding the decision to avoid the Korean - count your stars. Nice presentation, no depth at all. You just saved yourself the pain that so many Hyosung owners are encountering now, trying to sell their bikes.

[satyenpoojary]

Hi satyenpoojary. yes ...bajaj and free dont mix...but will try....its Rs800 only compared to the OTR of 5.67L. forget to ask the sales rep....do we get any starter kit with the bike...like helmet..glasses.t-shirts..cap..like we get on GT650R?

Starter Kit includes
the Bike,
the plastic cover on the seat
the plastic cover on the windshield,
a few litres of petrol if you are lucky
Engine Oil
Air in tyres
Your owners Manual book
A barbecue grill big enough to bbq a wild boar
One extra key
and a glass of cold drink (which I didnt get actually)
If you have been deprived of your bike for long, you will get a Cake as well!

Once you get the bike, find us on the Facebook owners group.
Warning: That place is haunted by men. men and only men!

Satyen, will I need to get Obelix along for the wild boar and will the cold drink be a "drink" or a drink?

[Barkha]

Hey zimbly, Sunnyside_up! ,satyenpoojary, icemang. how are you all? just returned from office....

@ zimbly : o well....i sure try to get the LHS for free....will see if i can run my charm there.... shopping list of bikes? its only 3 bikes all made for purpose. Deo =shopping , DUKE=city , Ninja 650 = Highway.

@ Sunnyside_up! : Thank you.....ya maybe . ya GT has its share of problems but i em sure when they start the bike and the V-twin motor comes to life.....its bliss.

@ satyenpoojary. : yuck..the bbq grill....will have it removed before delevery....did the same with the CBR....honda guys packed the grill and gave it to me....i donated it back to then..saying ..sell it and party......glass of cold drink would be refreshing....due cake...i love cake..chocolate cake.....but i wouldnt want to to wait too long.....90 days is ok considering ill get a 2013 model......but i will kill myself if i hear that honda/yamaha has brought in the 600R/R machines by the time i get delivery of the N650

@ icemang lol....

@ everybody : considering N650 seats removed ..how much space is there inside...can it hold another battery?

[zimbly]

Nope, it has enough space to house just the tool kit. though where the battery sits there is a little bit space available on the sides. might be enough to plonk a larger battery in there provided the width of the new battery remains the same. To give you a better pic, i have moved the toolkit under the front seat(so that area is completely occupied) and the aftermarket Alarm system has been mounted under the rear. There isnt much place left other than to house a kapda.

[Barkha]

@ zimbly . i wasn't looking at larger battery...i actually wanted to add a 2nd abttery for the angel-eyes. alarm system, led indicators and tail lamp.. separate the lighting from main battery....if someday ...anywhere....due to some prob main battery is dead then i wont be stranded ..ill replace it with the other..

[zimbly]

Nope, as far as i can tell, no place for another battery under the seat. And i honestly dont know what the present AmpH rating for the current battery is. but it has sustained my riding and alarm unit without a glitch. Presently the bike is lying idle and its been almost a month, but with a start every 3 days, it still manages to start up without a niggle and the alarm system remains on 24x7. hope that helps.

[Barkha]

Thats great...i am worried as the place is live in a very humid and will rust the bike and and if i dont use the bike for say 2 to 3 months the battery is going to be dead.if a 2nd battery is not an option the ill get a jump start kit ...the one that connects to the 12v connector in one car and other to any car/bike with a 12V connector.will cost around Rs1500

Planning to get a grill fabricator to convert the bbq grill of a saree guard into a more aesthetic frame for taking on saddle bags. Anybody here has any experience/suggestions for same?

[Barkha]

UrbanNomad ..Hi....are yo looking to for only LHS or a LHS and RHS saddle bag carriers?....i can suggest u get new ones made with alluminium by a local fabricator instead of making it out of the iron one..it will be lighter and wont rust.

[Barkha]

Looking for LHS n RHS. Was worried about the attachment part (where the part will attach to the tail) so sticking with the saree guard. Have managed to get 2 saree guards, plan to use on the RHS by inverting (!!). Gonna have ro experiment a bit before i get it right i guess.
