2012 Ninja 650 vs 2012 Monster 795

While watching some random videos, I came across this pretty good comparison video of N650 and M795 done Autocar. Have a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hr5...e_gdata_player

Hey guys, I've recently launched a new exhaust system for the ninja 650r in India, made by Tyga Performance. Do visit my store to check it out. It's a half race system and should make your bike sound like one hell of a race machine. Please give my eBay store a visit. Midnight Trades.

It will be helpful for everyone if you can post some videos and pics of the same....

Forgot to carry my SLR in excitement to Mysore, so all of you will have to manage with my mobile pics.



Pics and words don't to justice to this bike.

The following was said by my better half on seeing her for the first time.

"She looks like a MONSTER".

She feels huge, massive mass. I sat on it, she feels so perfect, felt like "EK DUJE KE LIYE" [Made for each other].

I was fed up with HDFC banks inability to release the amount in a week, decided to pay the remaining amount upfront. She is mine forever now. Will be getting her to BLR on Wednesday.

Congratulations mate! I can still see the barbeque grill attached to this beauty in your pic. Hope you will remove it soon and donate it to the barbeque community..

Cheers,

Well! I got the rid of the Saree guard of my Fiero back in 2003, do you think I will keep that ugly thing

Congrats dude on finally getting the bike. enjoy the ride.

PS. i just finished my run in of 1600kms, waiting to unleash the beast. unfortunately that will have to wait until next week, i'm out of town. Dont know the consequences of saying this, I am missing her more than my bitter..... oops, better half.

Hi Zimbly...

Nice and comprehensive first-impression review here. Glad to hear that the Ninja doesn't give you much of a chance to complain. Things like a muddy rear in rains, etc, aren't really issues at all

I'm really reassured hearing that the brakes are satisfactory. There was so much talk of the poor brakes on the 2011 version, and a whole lot of friends who own the earlier Ninja 650R, all have upgraded the pads and lines. So was pretty skeptical of how these would be. Good to hear that they've been behaving well.

As for after-market add-ons...get the frame sliders ASAP. They should logically be your 1st fitments, as you'll never forgive yourself if the bike unfortunately takes a topple, even at stand-still, and your fairings get damaged in the process. Am still waiting for my bike (have been waiting for 14 months now, but that's another story for another day), but have already procured the R&G sliders from PRS. If you plan on getting them from PRS, do that soon as I heard they're rapidly running out of stock!

Finally, a huge congratulations on this amazing motorcycle. One of the most sensible big bikes to buy in our country today!

.....Simba

Congrats on the New Bike....
Ride safe.

@PSR : thanks.

@All : I will be getting my bike tomorrow. I am nervous but excited at the same time. Since I am moving from a 12 BHP bike to a 72 BHP bike any do's and dont's that I should be doing? I am just praying everything goes fine.

Don't open throttle like you do on the Fiero...you will do a wheelie....be gentle with throttle .Change engine oil along with oil filter at first 250~350 kms, then at 1,000 Kms to flush out the initial debris that will accumulate during running in...This is important to keep the engine in good condition..later on change oil as per SVC. If you use Mineral change at 1,500~2,000 Kms, Semisynth at 2,500~3,500Kms, and Fully Synth 3,500 ~ 4,500 kms....Go for Fully Synth after consulting SVC Service Head. Do mandatory Servicing as recommended in Owner's manual.
Good Luck
Ride Safe

Hi guys,


Well I was wondering why am I not getting anymore email notifications for the threads I subscribed to !! Then came in here to check whats going on and why people are hibernating (which I was sure could not be the case :P ) Ahaa... and then to my pleasant surprise I saw this new thread ! Two thumbs up for this great initiative. I am hooked to it now.


First of all, a big hearty congratulations to Zimbly and bprags (and other owners if I missed out any) Wish you guys all the luck ahead..


As for an update from my side.. Still 2 months till I get back home and take delivery of my beast waiting eagerly in store!


In the meanwhile I have started preparing/shopping for a warm welcome for my N650.. Since I already have the basics of personal riding gear, here is the list dedicated to my N650:


Items already ordered (expected delivery next week):
1.) Oxford Sport Saddlebags
2.) Hein Gericke Dry bag 40L
3.) Oxford Tankpad- Arachnid
4.) Hein Gericke "Team 70" Bike cover
5.) Some lamination pouches (20X30cm)
6.) Rim stripes
7.) Oxford Screamer Disc lock

Considering a paddock stand and frame sliders but not till I reach home.

She is at home



Rode her all the way from Mysore, I had to take a lengthy route due to the Cauvery issue. But the route was scenic and beautiful, the Ninja kept everyone on the road hooked on to her, she is such a beauty, from front most think it is a Fazer, but as soon as they see her from side on, boy, you should see their expressions. Maybe a 100 villagers told me the headlight is on, I kept nodding my head, whenever they informed me about it.

Route

Mysore -> KR Nagar -> Chennraypatna -> Kunigal -> Nelmangala -> BLR

Total distance around 250+ kms.

I will post more in the ownership thread.

The headlights are pathetic, need to correct the alignment. FE is promising 20+.

Re: Lock Stock and One smokin Green Barrel : 2012 Ninja 650

Congratulations sir ..
20+ is neat.
Do run through all the gears even in city and see what speeds it feels comfortable ..

N beware of the gc .. esp in blr roads :-)
