    the best way to test the real speed - use GPS from phone to measure the speed.. you will get a more accurate speed..
    I made the payment only because they said that the bike was in their godown and as soon as i made the payment they would send my documents to the RTO for registration, but when i went there yesterday, the truth was the bike didn't arrive before i made the payment, it arrived on 2nd of sept. the problem wasn't just the delay, the problem was the unprofessional attitude from the staff, They lied about the status of the bike. They never updated me, despite of innumerous messages/calls they never replied back or even bothered to call back. If they would've just called my on 31st saying registration will take some more time, i would be happy but they didn't. Lets see how they deliver now, they said it'll be registered by next week.

        They will run around you only till you pay the money, after that this attitude arises. You should have informed that you need to PDI the bike before registration, only then I will pay the cash. At least you could have got to see your steed!

          Yes i should've done that, but when i went down there to pay, i asked to see the bike, they said it's at the godown, so i trusted them. Should'nt have made this mistake.

            Not so sure about the interpretation of the data that's going on here. From what I understand, the time quoted is for the whole lap and when you divide 5140 (Track distance) by time, you get the average speed, which is what is mentioned here in the last column. This is not an indication of the top speeds hit by the bikes.

            Come to think of it, the laps appear super fast, almost into F1 terrritory. Is this really possible?

              PDI is one. and I did the same, I paid and when they said that they will call me when the bike comes up, (they actually did) I went and did a PDI & check up of the bike..

              If you read my first post, you will see their attitude.. yep, bad attitude once you give them the cash, instant change.. before that, they will have a sweet attitude.. somehow, I hate such people.. I feel like they need a hard and tight highfive on their face with a chair from hulk in super siyan mode. :P

              live long.. live happy.. that's the best revenge that can be served to the people who hate you..

                  It wasn't the complete circuit that day, a few technical corners had been left out as most guys were first timers. The lap that day was around 3kms or so as far as I can remember. The time is indeed the lap time.

                    info@ktm doesn't usually evoke a quick response. I suggest you email bajaj customer care for a quicker response

                          Prepped up for tomorrow's ride after two days of rain riding.

                                The little England, Kolar Gold Fields. The greatest gold mines which British never wanted to leave.

                                No one from Bangalore can't miss this boring but good road. You could only experience the real inline 4 music tracks on this road particularly on Sundays! The beasts of all categories will be unleashed on this Highway early morning hours specially on Sundays.
