Goosebumps!

I've booked one, too! Eagerly looking forward to the ownership reports from the first lucky ones.

I was told that the earliest I can expect my bike is during the last week of August. So at least another month to go before I get mine.

Haven't waited this long for anything I've bought. So yeah, the wait is killing me!

good to see this thread up. the initial 250 owners had to go thru the agonizing wait, same for 650. wishing all the early birds enjoyable rides and post all in this thread.

I got it from the showroom on 15th morning and parked it in my garage - rode only about 6 kms !
Have not taken it out after that for numerous reasons . . .
- Incessant rains
- Had 4 parties and 1 conference this weekend, so no time and constant hangover
- Excessive police checking of bikes all around thanks to the blasts! (no number on the bike). Although my number has come & I'll put it today.

Anyway, my inital impressions . . .
- Bike is very easy to ride. Fells like a pulsar with a lot more power
- Bike is heavier on paper than my preivous R1 & cbr 954s, but surprisingly it seems lighter and easier to handle. Probably because of low CG, low seat height & high torque ?
- Exhaust note is disappointing (as expected), slightly better at higher revs.
- Very good fit and finish except that of the upper ring of the rear shock.
- Does not grab as many eyeballs as my previous bikes, but I can live with that

More after I get to take it out.
