      I live in South Chennai. compared two showrooms. the price difference was just 600rs. so went for the one with 5 years warranty and one which gave more accessories :P

            yep i knew that. and yes, abs version there comes to the prices of gixxer 155 and fz! lol!
            Abs is good .but do practice how to brake without abs, it will come handy.
            How come a Chennai based company sells its products in Chennai at a costlier price
            State taxes and rto fees is very weirdly decided.
            Here petrol is 64 something ,rtr abs with extended warranty and all costs 85 something.

              okay i wouldnt exactly say its a chennai based company. maybe a TN based company. its actually in hosur which is almost bordering karnataka i guess. i had the same doubt too about the pricing by TVS in TN. its weird. here petrol is 72 i guess. i guess because i usually fill for a round amount 0f 100 in the suzuki max 100 which i ride and forget it for the next 55-60 km, atleast :P

                    That is called flickability/maneuverability.
                    yep, it is just comparative and i felt that way. bajaj is not worst literally.

                    indeed i went for apache as it is lighter and easy for me to move it around. but by build quality i meant the way it feels solid as a single unit. i had a bad experience trying a bajaj where i was wondering if some panels were vibrating or moving around independently as i went on the roads. also NS felt heavier and i couldnt move it as easily as the rtr.

                      Heavier feeling was due to bigger displacement resulting in heavier kerb weight . Though it helps a lot at speeds above 140 .

                          Looks cool.
                          Cost and other colors available? And is it direct fit?
                          I am running blue SMDs instead of normal bulbs

                            costs 389 bucks for a pair. Yes, it is a direct fit for all bikes in India except enfields.
                            There are 3 colors and 3 shapes available. Red, yellow and blue are the colors and each indicator has 15 LED's. I bought it on ebay, here is a link: LED Small Indicator Lights Yellow Universal FOR ALL Bikes | eBay
                            It was delivered in 3 days. Infact, the seller is from delhi :P

                            Edit: 4 colors and 4 shapes.

                                maybe it does, but i feel indian bikes are usually heavier. esp comparing NS with Duke. anyway, i fixed my mind on apache and cannot get over it now!
