Ninja 650R - Ownership Thread

[Brat]

Just got my Ninja 650R delivery today.. Exactly 90 days after booking ! Still drooling and the rain gods are playing spoilsport in Pune.

Congrats and look forward for more trip logs from you.

I moved from a 220 pulsar to the ninja and didnt have any trouble handling this baby.
Overall, surely a excellent buy and value for money

Your joy is very much evident from your post!
Congrats!!

Kawasaki provided Saree Guard on Ninja 650???

Saree Guards are only needed in certain states. I was at the RTO last monday to register the GT650R and there was an N650R getting registered right beside mine, neither of the bikes sported a saree guard.

Hi guys, Any idea where we can get frame sliders (no cut type) for the 650r

Hi guys, Any idea where we can get frame sliders (no cut type) for the 650r

don't think you will. The fairing is completely covering the frame of the bike and it does not have any provision to insert a bolt. The only option will be to drill the hole in the fairing. I am in the same position for my GT650R. But ordering these from PRS. will get the hole drilled in the fairing ..

Performance Racing Store. R&G HYOSUNG GT 650R Crash protectors

I did not find anything listed for N650R here, but you can send them an email and check.

Congrats buddy...

My 2.5 year old daughter has been super excited since I booked my Ninja 650 on 12th June 2011. Yesterday, she refused to go to her Pre school since she had overheard me talking to Pro biking show room guys and she knew the bike is on her way.

I had to convince her to go to school on the condition that i will pick her up from school in the afternoon.

With mine i saw another 4 bikes ready for delivery in Pune showroom.

Since yesterday, daughter has been giggling and laughing since she sat on the bike.

Congrats Thomas.. my daughters (4 yr and 2yrs) are also super excited since my new bike (GT650R) has landed home.. I can connect with your feelings


BTW, are you guys planning to join some xbhp G2G meet at Pune sometime in near future..

No-cut sliders for N650R

Hi guys, Any idea where we can get frame sliders (no cut type) for the 650r

You can try this link - Kawasaki Ninja 650R ER6f No Cut Frame Sliders 09 10 11 BLACK

I bought mine from this guy, quite good finish. Ask him to mark it as a gift before sending it to you, this way you can avoid paying any customs duty.

Finally!!!

The D day. I will get my bike today. There are 3 bikes to be delivered from Kolkatta Probiking today. Mine is the first one of this lot. My younger brother has gone down to take the delivery. I am jealous .... he will ride down 450 odd kms to my home town Bhubaneswar.

Cant wait to ride around. It being the firstbike in Bhubaneswar just makes me more impatient. I still remember when I rode around my R15 3 years back apparently the first one in Bhubaneswar.

First impression by my brother as he visited the Hyosung showroom also and saw the GT650R in flesh: The paint quality and finish of N650R is much better and in a different league than GT650R. According to him GT fairing looks like an aftermarket modifications compared to finesse of Ninja.

Will keep on adding to the thread as I ride more.By the way I have asked him to carry one airfilter and oil as I plan to change it after he rides back here. Has anyone done first servicing .... I may need some help to do it myself.

Guys,

Finally had a chance to do a smallish ride, a 150km return trip from Pune to Lavasa. On the way back met with heavy rain as well.

The bike handles brilliantly and is super comfortable.

I think the stock seat comes in all-black. so is that a custom seat?
