      Cherish the waiting moment and the the first weeks of ownership and discovery. Those days will never come back again!
      The wait will kill me sir ,
      Haha ! I can't wait though . I drove my manager mad today just before the booking today asking her whether i could leave early ! I think i'll become old by the time i get it ! 15 long days ! thankfully not as long as you :P .
      OT- I've seen your DIY for the rear mud guard , any DIY's for the R15 ?
      Thanks,

          AFAIK, the 2011 is equoipped with the same analogue instruments.

          IMHO, analogue dials are way easier to read than digital gizmos at high speeds - the needles tell you at a glance your status, while the digital readouts need to first eliminate basic problems like glare, etc., I've also heard this comment from several SBK owners.

          However from the purely aesthetic perspective, the analogues do look dated.

            Sir,
            I'd inquired the probiking people about the availability that you'd mentioned , they said 2 greens got sold and only black was available .
            I somehow like the needle whooshing up ! On my R15 its just like some numbers changing !



            General question -
            Should i get any accessories for the bike ?
            Frame sliders and tank pad ?

              indeed the needle whooshing part is awesome ...i'd prefer a semi-digi console rather than a full digital...

              tank pad and frame sliders - definitely buy them if you can....

              • Guys! After a lot of difficulty and searching the internet for many days, I have finally managed to chance upon a free copy of the 500 page service manual for the Ninja 250R. And this is NOT the carb manual which is so freely available, this
                is the FUEL INJECTION version manual:

                Download before its gets removed from that website!



                Download the whole copy - great for reference sakes and common troubleshooting. I have read both the carb and the FI service manuals, and this FI version has a lot more details related to our Indian version!

                      • Ninja owners from Bombay, which place do you go to, to get your bike serviced?
                        And how is the experience / spare parts availability etc ?
