    Congrats, emon.

    Would love to read your ownership report in "Superbike and Imports", please do that ASAP. Also, I'd like to know why you chose this over Monster or Panigale. Hope I can find out in your report.

    Two amazing European bikes.

      Hey buddy Thanks.

      Well the reason I don't want a monster was I am not to keen on naked bikes . And i already had a full faired bike. I chose the Daviel as it stands out out off the rest the unique style off a sports cruiser just attracted me so bad. Also I love the styling I haven't seen any other company having any bike in this segment. It's easy to ride and comfortable for long rides. Will surely do a detailed report on it.
      I dont ride bike to add days in my life. I ride bike to add life in my days

        Anyone up for lavasa tomorrow morning or day after im new in Mumbai don't know anyone who rides ...felt this is the right place to ask ...
        Aim of the ride - conquering those brilliant twisties I have heard so much about ..and of course the usual chai/ snack./dhaba
        Execution - leave at 5:15 -5:30
        Properly geared (jackets gloves helmet min.)
        No rash / immature riding

        Rc200/390 are track spec. Bikes , lavasa twisities is what comes closest to that . so all of you who just commute on it daily maybe it's time to unleash its brilliance. Besides it will be good to exchange few pointers .

        Pm me if you up for it..  cheers

          Got my share of orange yesterday and im loving it
          110 kms on the odo and i enjoyed every bit of it.
          Man this bike handles like a dream and the power is too damn awesome but she doesn't like to be ridden at low rpms( 3 - 4k).

            I have 2 options one in Ghaziabad and other one in Noida. The showroom themselves emphasized on getting it serviced from Noida.
            Can NCR Xbhpian please advise on how this service center is, or any other option?

            Hi there.... The Noida service centre is top notch....ask for Asif.. He is the head mechanic there...

                Hi people. Anybody tried bar end mirrors?

                Also, I was told by the guys at showroom that installing a tail tidy kit will affect the warranty. Were any of you told the same? Is it really true?

                      Buying an exhaust depends on ur needs.
                      1. If u need good sound u can go with acropovic ,cobra,leovince,gpr...in addition to that if u remap the ecu after changing to a free flow exhaust there would be some increase in power.
                      2. U can get the exhaust either full system or slipons.
                      3.if u dont want to spend money and to gain more sound....u can go to a nearby workshop and make a hole nearby the stock exhaust's hole .
                      4.Gpr free flow will be good without db killer ..u can order it from aliexpress,or from other sources..

                          Well when it comes to warranty for a brand new bike and the guys from showroom say such, then it does strike you. I am taking the delivery of my RC 390 tomorrow and wanted to get the motofusion tail tidy installed as the first change. But they now have put me in a spot and I am having second thoughts.

                              Dude, I am not worried about legality of it. Just that so far i was in an impression making cosmetic changes as fender elimination would not affect the warranty. But this claim by the folks at KTM indiranagar has confused me. I'd rather be 100% sure before actually installing the motofusion tail tidy kit (which I already have acquired). So any of you guys who have installed one on your RC, please shed some light on this.

                                Install any cosmetic changes without any worry. Should be no problem at all. I have done quite a few including tail tidy, exhaust, shorty levers..
