Never seen a Busa in person. Saw just once on my last Nov trip to Jaipur with GODS and they just fly-by but in that time of few seconds it took the breathe away.

To All,
Went for a short ride late evening to check for the issue I had.
Regarding the acceleration part, tried to make proper gear shifts and NINJA performed all good.
But, the irritating part was that noise 'kiirrrr kirrrr' when I revved to around 10k-13k. Was unable to figure out what was exactly there but was surely coming from around instrument cluster. I would be taking my NINJA to PBK next weekend due to office but before that want to have idea for this, what could be the reason behind this.
Please guys, guide me on this so that I could tell the PBK guys to go for this and don't want them to hunting for hours on this issue and after that they may say that could be due to vibration at such high revs.

I know this whole issue of the headlight has been discussed to bits at the start of the thread, but using the thread to vent some frustration

2nd time i've been stopped by the cops and made to pay-up. This time around i was also shown a rule book that did actually say driving during day time with lights on is an offence.

If there is one thing that bother me about this bike, is the inability to turn off the headlight. sigh, can't win em all i guess

Well,

Yes, I know choosing the baby Ninjette is a No Brainer, but it took me a while, a long one, really long I mean.

August 2010- I sell of the Yamaha Fazer, a year old, hoping that I'll get another ride very soon, the Ninja was always a dream, but I let it be a dream, I walked into the showroom, just to get a feel of it and touch her for the first time. I knew I wouldn't buy her, just the cost factor that was spoiling my otherwise dream of owning her. She stood there, right in front of me, dressed in Green, and there was another lady in Black. Fell in love with her the moment I saw her on display, went on, touched her, and oh it felt so good, it was like butterflies that you get when your better half tickles you. I decided then that I'll own her very soon.

September 2010- I go again, this time I dare to ask for the quotations with the loan details, the amount and stuff. Then I decided, I guess I can own her, she could be a reality for me very soon. That's when I started regretting that I had worked for 4 years in a row and hadn't saved a penny, it felt like s***. I gave myself sometime to think, a deep breath, and a decision, to start saving, save in the next 6-8 months and make the dp and pay the rest monthly.

December 2010- Heard about the CBR250R and the Mojo, gave it a thought, not my dream but a good value for money those rides are for sure, atleat for the cost that was shown, but its sad that the Mojo never made it to reality, as yet.

January 2011- Bookings commence for the CBR250R, I go to the showroom and book one, just for the heck of it, as a back-up if I can't save enough for my dream within the deadline. I never wanted to own a CBR, was a namesake decision. Deep in my mind, my thoughts, I even day dreamt about the beauty called the Ninja250R, day in and day out. The month end, I had a trip planned for Hyderabad, to meet my better half(unofficial for now), the very reliable Neeta Volvo helped me reach my destination, thanks to them. I get down and take a rick, and there I see a black Ninja standing at the Pro-Biking Showroom, I decide to come down in the evening and have a look at her again. So finally, me and my better half reached the Bajaj Pro-Biking Dealership at 7pm, thanks to me getting up late after an afternoon nap, I remember calling them like a 100 times just asking them to wait sometime, I assured them I'll be there by 6:45pm, but IST is in our blood, or mine atleast. Saw her, fell in love with her all over again, my better half too was super smitten by her, but she liked the Black one, and I being a guy, love the Green. Clicked a few pics, I got some encouragement from my better half which made me feel, I have saved, quite a lot in fact, so why not save some more, cut the expenses some more. I did.

March 2011- On exam leaves, but what the heck, still manage to attend my first Offline G2G. Met a lot of guys, and I really thank Vishwas Sir here for letting me ride his bike. It was the first time I met him, I was surprised that he agreed to let me take his Black Beauty on a stroll in the park for a while. I sit on her, the ignition keyed in, hit the stater, and whoa, it was the first time a thing gave me butterflies in my tummy, oh what a feeling it was. I was so bloody eager to take her on a ride, and there I go, deep in my head, I'm scared I don't ram Sir's beloved anywhere, but I want to experience what she is, opened her a bit, and man she sounded so much better that an opera singer on her last octave. The ninja for me hit the perfect note. I decided then, oh sure I'm getting you for myself too.

April 2011- The CBR is launched, a million complains about the quality of the cycle parts were out in the news and forums by then. But, it didn't matter, I knew I had to get her if I didn't save enough. Saw a few pics of the KTM 200 Duke in the meantime, loved the look of it, and I would still say she looks a machine, she looks the part, but not my cuppa tea. I decide to wait another month for the savings to reach and expected mark, high hopes you may call, LOL.

May 2011- The green month starts, well for me to be precise, it's like I'm bleeding blue all day, but I've booked the CBR, oh I'm in a fix and I hate this. I remember the ride- thanks to Vishwas Sir again, and again, the wait was killing and so was my dream calling, yelling at me- Hark! You want me, not that puny little thing, I say oh yes, I have butterflies in my tummy as I write this, I just love her, she's a beauty, she's the one I want to be with. Wednesday the 18th of May 2011, I make up my mind, it was the best decision I've made so far, I am owning her very soon, Friday, 20th of May 2011- I book the black beauty, now this one's for my better half for she loves the black Ninja, thanks to Vishwas Sir, the loan approval process as told by the Pro-Biking guys has been shortened, and it should be done in a week at the most(it would have been 15 to 20 days without the help of Vishwas Sir, and another 15 days for the bike to come.), so I should get my baby anytime soon. So the bottom-line, waiting for the loan to be approved, and the baby is mine.
Wish me luck!

Special thanks to:
My better Half- for all the support and encouragement.

Vishwas Sir- Thank you for letting me ride your baby, it helped me decide for sure, and another thanks for the phone call which made the loan process faster. You're a star!

You were right, it was an electro Gremlin alright. They put in the new throttle assembly and it still gave out the glitches. So they had to (that's what I was told) reset each and every sensor, video assisted by guys in Pune. It appeared that one of the sensors was sending inconsistent/wrong signals to the ECU.

Said it was rare, since everything was showing the correct readings when it came to voltage etc.

I have been doing rounds in a prominent pan-India four wheeler community and there in the CBR250R thread, came across a post in which a member scooped at a news (claiming from reliable sources) that the Ninja 250 might be priced down significantly.

any such info? pointers would be appreciated. I like the CBR but somehow it lacks the character which the green baby so much exudes.
