    You can't ride a ninja 400+ kms in a stretch. Fuel runs out much before that.
    Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

      Fortunately R15 rider ok (& he's an excellent rider) & minor damage to bike... but highlights exactly what you were saying.

      ya i was present on that ride guys
      there was too much of oncoming traffic due to express was jam
      which normallly doesnt happen
      the r15 guy is ok he crashed since he was accelarating and the ninja guy
      breaked suddenly but all good

            Yes. It surely can but you would be dead from boredom long before that. Riding N250 below 60 kmph for 8 hours

              I second that.. Since the fuel price has almost touched 77 in b'lore, everyday when i start the bike i convince myself to not go beyond 80, But once i hit the EC Elevated highway the bike takes control and refuses to go below 120..

                • guys,I have a doubt regarding run-in.Some of my friedns who have had experiences with bikes suggested not to keep the rpm below 4k as suggested in the manual,instead revving a few times beyond that will actually be better for the engine.Why is it so?
                  (one of them owns a ninja,cbr and an R1.so I dont think he could be totalyy wrong)

                      If you ride it always below 4k rpm during the initial 1000 or 1500 kms whatever is the run-in distance for your bike then it will be a duck, and will not be so much responsive or say rev friendly with the throttle!! Thats why they suggested you to give occasional bursts. If you strictly follow the manual's procedure then maybe the pistons of both cylinders curse you for not taking them at higher rpms

                          • how's the headlight cover in night? i think its twin 55W lamp.
                            did anyone try to play with headlights yet?? means anybody changed to HID or some other lamp like x-treme power or Osram nightbreakers??
