So got my RC200 yesterday evening,just 2 days waiting period, how cool its that? :P
Have to say its one hell of a eye catching beast The riding position does make your back & groin cry!! but the adrenaline,the feeling makes u forget all those...

Did 50 kms in the morning today,while nearing home the radiator fan started making sound like 'tch tch', should i get it checked ?

Congratulations.. and you need to get your radiator fan checked.. it shouldn't make any unusual sound but the regular "whoosh" when it's on..

Got my ride day before yesterday! Already ridden 121kms and got it dirty since it was raining here!
One thing i am sure is that it is one hell of an attention magnet, everyone on tho road looks at it and cant keep from looking away!
It sounds beautiful and is pretty eager to be revved hard but i am keeping it under control.
The riding position is pretty dedicated and hard to cope with in traffic but once on the cruise, thighs can handle the bodyweight easily!
The front brake is manic! Even on the slight pull of the lever you shed speed instantly.
The tachometer is not very clear but you can get used to it.
The rear view mirrors are pretty useless if you are sitting normally, but once you stick yourself to the tank, you can see everything but riding in traffic that way is pretty stupid and not very comfortable.
Cant wait to get 1st service done so i can ride it till its limit.
The suspension is stiff but not very so, so you can feel the road but also are comfortable.
Vibrations are there but not very promounced and are more like a gentle reminder of the power this engine holds!

If high speed cornering is what you wanna do, take it to Gurgaon Faridabad highway early on a Sunday morning, wear proper gears, knee pads n all.
And where you got the info that Orange Day Noida is cancelled ? Doesn't matter, Those tiny Orange day tracks are never built for bikes like R15 and RC, That so called "track" would've been a gravel filled cramped parking lot anyway (like the last time).

It's also called Gwal Pahari. you can use google maps, or you probably need a guide.. a fellow biker who can take you there. It's a common cornering zone for passionate bikers from all over Delhi NCR, On a nice Sunday morning there, you'd see several other bikers, superbikers and what not. Be very careful if you reach there, Reason it's advised to go there early in morning is because later on traffic starts building up on the highway. Don't even think of it without FULL gears. A riding jacket, gloves, knee pads and ofc helmet.
