    Manjunath is my usual guy as well I have a cylinder sync coming up soon.

    Just was wondering about the experience of kawasaki service centers.

    did u find any other cheaper one?
    sorry for the late reply, i was out on a trip, testing out the suspension, and it has behaved properly for the 3000 km i tested it on..
    it behaves exactly as the stock suspension. no issues were felt.
    this is the cheapest one that i could find. plus it is recommended on the ninja300 forum online.

    but u might not get an indian delivery...

    You are upgrading from ZMR and the way you decided to go all the way to Bhopal and take ownership and rode back alone - Really Admirable. ( Although if you are wise/concerned enough to take only 50% in cash then may be an accompanying friend would have been so much more safer like the seller )

    At first i thought you went for that EFed up N250r...hehe

    I can understand the sentiments regarding the new N300 & 4.2 lacs, the feeling is akin to jumping off the 10mt diving board into the pool.( I can't do it yet)

    Still... must be really sweet to own your first parallel twin.
    Are you gonna use it as your primary bike now ?
    What about the Black Pearl ?



    Cheers
    Thanks a lot brother!! Yes, I did think of taking a friend with me. Being a weekday, I didn't want to disturb anyone asking them to take a leave..

    That EFed up N250R was really EFed up.. Good thing he didn't negotiate to the amount I asked it for..

    I am driving at the moment.. I will start riding from next month mid probably.. I will use all my 4 two wheelers every week which includes zero hp and on Sundays I will go for a short ride on Karupee

    So this is how it started!! Every time I start saving money for a bike, something or the other comes up and I usually spent that God damn money I saved up!!





    The bike felt so alive..
    Will get back with the Riding experience after approval..

    All's Well that End's Well.

    It is a pretty deep scratch - metal can be seen.
    As of now I have applied few coats of midnight black to keep it from rusting. But need a professional to sand the area and apply both coats.

    Both clear coat and ebony black touch up pens are on order as a backup. Will update if something comes along.

    Loved the way you described it, I could feel your situation too, it was like I was totally indulge into the post during last 15 mins. And finally I had a complain that why there was no pictures of the bike at all and then I found it on the next post. It's really a beauty and most importantly you are happy with it.

    Keep riding long and safe.
    I want to update the thread.. I want to continue with the post and my ride experience so far.. I have completed close to 1700 kms after ownership.. been on a couple of rides as well with lots of pics..

    But problem is.. no time. I will look to write the remaining soon

    Black 250R's always had killer looks

    Yes of course

    For some reason, I never liked the looks of Ninja 300.. I always loved the Ninja 250R

    Here is a pic of Karupee
