    I tried for Pirelli SD, but most of the dealers don't have the stock due to some ISI mark issue, and the one who have is asking for 3800.- for rear and 2800/- for front...and offering me very less discount on brand new Eurogrip tyres,1500/- for rear and 1000/-for front
    Just a week old to give in thoughts about this bike..in the rains tires provide solid grip..even when leaning and at high speeds too while braking..! On the contrary riding in rains seem a lot bettr..especially the low sound of d rear discs ..!

They dont have the yellow yet but when i said i want the yellow they said that yellow will be available on Monday only and only one bike and that too is already booked. and bikes cost is Rs96000 on road all including, and yellow color is available at Rs2000 premium :-(
      There is no premium on yellow. Whigh dealer did you go to?
      Visit Dewan Bajaj Lajpat Nagar. Yellow is available for Rs. 95600.

        Hi Frnds,

        I have finally got my NS, in Red. It was 97370 on road which I got from Fair Deal Bajaj. They have got a lot of NS specially Blue and Black color made. If you want, you can get it easily there.

        Will post some pics soon.
        97379/- is on the higher side. On road price is 95600/-. Why the extra 1700/- when it is easily available at many other dealers for even less than 95600/-??

          small issues are there in every bike dude..no matter where you go in this world,afterall its a machine..
          every machine has its own flaws and advantages.
          The choice is yours,go for the one which reflects you the most!!

            Exactly my experience. The tires grips really well in wet conditions and I have ridden quite a few KM on really wet roads.
            On the other hand, its skidded on me a couple of times on dry road..

            Perhaps the threading on the eurogrips is such that it performs better in wet.

              Absolutely great pics. Can you specify the location??

              PS- I wasn't a fan of the yellow colour, but with every such post certainly grabbing my attention.
              I am not sure about the location, I mean its somewhere between shivtarghal and Mahad via a non-existent road.

              True.. It makes the combination very contrasting and hence very photogenic..

              No man, I m not lucky yet to ride in KL, but these were taken in MH and during the monsoons MH looks awesome, if you are ready to take some bad roads. Look at the pic to understand what I mean.

                  Sorry missed replying to your query

                  I rode 280 kms last Sunday on wet and dry roads as weel as highway and ghats.
                  I did not even once feel the need to think about other tyres right now.
                  They are good enough for my present needs.

                      One of me friend @toxicbiker, went to mumbai for official work.
                      There he saw two NS-Blue and red.
                      He told that blue looks better than red!!!, but then again he also told me that the red one was not properly maintained, while the blue was a shining one!!
                      And to add to that he saw the bike during night. So the blue might have worked its magic there.
                      All-in-all it seems better to decide the colour after seeing it in flesh.
                      Man Shiba...i would just like to add one thing it is fast and more refined than 220 but....I am not a fan of Bajaj but after this am sure to be fond of this beast....

                        i know comparison is going to happen.. but you should start new thread for this.. cause comparison is an Active process.. it will go on and on and on.. after some time you have to settle on something and that's what the OWNERSHIP thread is all about..
                        this thread will loose its main purpose to comparison more than Ownership.


                        Somebody asked me about the mileage

                        1) Mileage before first service where i use to ride half Highway and Half city ride of my total commute was 45KMPL..

                          certainly doesnt have that neck jerking thrust but the momentum it builds in just no time is amazing.
                          also just noticed chain touches on a rubber part over swingarm just besides mono shock. checked in photos seems same still if others can confirm

                          wow really nice to hear. please post more pics and can u tell me the exact milage your gettin???

                            Sorry if the following post seems rude to you.

                            As I had mentioned in a previous post "How can someone tell you the exact mileage?" But now let me rephrase "what do you mean by exact mileage?"
                            Do you want us to give mileage figures upto 4 decimal places?

                            Please understand that there is nothing like EXACT MILEAGE (AFAIK). Mileage itself is an average. It depends on a lot of aspects, viz. the road conditions, the gear you are riding in, the rpm you are riding in, the way you use your throttle and clutch, the way you brake,etc etc. And all these aspects keeps varying. So its very difficult to give an EXACT figure, because the mileage may vary by +/- 5kmpl every time you calculate it.

                            Please correct me if I am wrong...

                                this is very true.. atleast with my little knowledge of bikes... happened with FZ.. If you ride it aiming for redlining it (after running in period).. it would definite lower the mileage.. if you ride in a gentleman-ish manner.. With normal braking, proper use of clutch,gear.. mileage will itself be a surprise.. FZ gave a whopping 42 kmpl for my friend .. so.. it is totally depended on driver and roads...

                                @surojit: dada.. complete running in soon and provide a post running in report soon (sorry if I sounded rude or anything.. just a little too curious).. and keep the pics coming.. a big fan.. your pictures kept me alive in Chennai waiting for this bike..
