    Yes I did get a test ride but sadly it was Batch-1 (Jan-Feb) Vehicle and to make things a bit worse, it was badly maintained (so much that the ignition key was not working properly)

    But did get the overall feeling. Its comfortable and the acceleration is quite linear. Didn't feel that kick which Dominar gives but gains speed quite good. Sadly the handle bar had way too much vibration. My hands almost got numb in a mere 10 mins test ride. (I do have more than 4 years and 40k kms of riding experience and currently I ride a Gixxer SF)

    Just wanted to know about the vibration issue because that did worry me a bit. Also about the chain issue too. And anything else will be even better.

    Thanks!

      Yeah the Fueling is much better. There's no flat spot like the dominar has, hence no kick and then kick back after 7500RPM.

        Vibration was fixed to great extent with new parts. But again dont expects it to be super smooth since this is a big single high revving engine.
        Regarding chain, i dont know why people calling it as an issue. RR has the longest swingarm and hence a roller is provided to give adequate contact between chain and sprocket teeth.
        This makes some sound when the chain is loose and the bike goes over the potholes. But the stability it provides is fantastic, be it straight line or corners.
        The chain life is also great. A friend has completed 25000 Kms and still on stock chain set.

        The power delivery is very linear. While other high revving bikes will have average low end and then they wake up on top end, RR has torque spread throughout the rev range making it most practical bike. This also helps in getting best in class mileage, great cruising speed (100kmph at 6000rpm and the peak power is at 9700 rpm which gives a huge power band) . None of the bike in its segment can do 42kmph on 6th gear. so having a linear power delivery has its own advantage.
        Shift the gear at 7000+ rpm, it can pull like crazy.

          Is there any bothering vibrations while cruising in 100kmph.

            In my experience post 120 it starts to vibrate, but never stayed there for long time. Few owners said the the vibs vanishes post 130.
            BUt from 60 to 100 it is very smooth , almost like a 150cc bike.

                So alright. Quick test. Surprising result! (Well not really)

                I was trying the braking test on my bike.

                The results are the following :

                133kmph to 84kmph : 2.26 seconds

                102kmph to 0kmph : 3.18 seconds or 45.9 Metres.

                That makes it quicker to stop than many bigger bikes. Video on YouTube, if anyone is interested.

                Cheers

                                Hello everyone. Sorry for asking this question again but anyone here who has bought a new RR310? I actually test rode the bike twice (same one, 1st batch production bike) and only thing that worried me is the Vibrations.

                                So anyone can kind off confirm that the vibrations are pretty less now? P.S I am not expecting it to be super smooth but in comparison to Duke 390, RC390 and Dominar, vibrations were pretty prominent.
