Some other trick bits put on this bike are-
The bubble screen
Crash bobs (very useful trust me)
Tank pad (i use a tank bag on my bike, saves it some scratches)
Trick oil cap etc
Pirelli Sport demons up front
I gun the throttle, the motorbike wails, the forks heave up, the revs climb, my view blurs, air gushes in my lid, muscles tighten, street lights streak. Just another day at work...

P.s a lil off topic but i have few question since i have paid full amount of the bike (they said i would get my bike today but wen i went there they said there are slight delay and delivery will be done on 2nd of next month)i have few extra cash in hand(15k). since i dont want to waste my money on useless thing i am asking your advice. here are some option
1)Pirelli Tyre front and back (Rs-5700)
2)Alpinestars SP-X Gloves (Rs-4300)( i have Alpinestars T-GP Plus Air Jacket and i didnt bought the gloves cause i thought i normally dont wear gloves... but my friends recommend to do so..)
3)Kraftewerk Shorty Levers: Gold (Rs-4000 or should i go for Pazzo Levers which cost Rs 1066?)
4)TBR air filters ( Rs-4500)
5)Zerogravity Wind screen (Rs -5000)
6)Haris Grips Green color (Rs -1500)
If I read that correctly, you are getting a new baby Ninja. Correct? Then why changing the tyre now? Try the factory fitted ones for some time and then switch to PSD/Michelin/Dunlop or some reputed manufacturer.
Fromt he above, I would suggest you go for the gloves and rest can be dropped for now. Its a naughty baby(N250R) so better to invest in riding gear like gloves, jacket, knee/elbow protector, helmet. If you already have the mentioned riding gear then a tank pad(to avoid scratches) and crash bobs/guard and a security lock should be a better investment of the extra 15 grands.
SOrry for OT : OMG OMG OMG OMG... My first post in my dream god bike thread. I am so so so so happy I contributed a drop to the ocean of knowledge here.Regards,

Originally posted by trustvishwas View PostI recently rode on my ninja from Pune to various places in Rajasthan.
Both NH3 and NH8 are awesome.
1. You need not go upto Indore on NH3. You take a turn from Mhow. . . go towards Nagda and continue on this road. Road is super smooth with absolutely nil traffic Dhule onwards. One patch of around 25 km is bad near Neemuch.
I have travelled on this road till Ajmer and road is fantastic. You can do whatever speeds you want to without any issue.
You can aim for Ratlam / Chittorgarh for your first night halt. We did Pune - Ratlam in around 12 hours with ample breaks.
2. You can take NH8 as well. Smooth road but with more traffic.
Instead of travelling till Ahmedabad, you should take a right turn at Baroda, go via State Highway to Godhra - Modasa and join highway to Udaipur. I have also travelled on this road. Even the state highway is 4 lane with divider. Google map link for this road - Mumbai, Maharashtra to Udaipur, Rajasthan - Google Maps
You can aim for Rishabhdev / Udaipur for first night halt. Rishabhdev is cheaper and has a hotel bang on the highway. We did Udaipur - Ghodbandar (Thane) in around 12 hours with a lunch break of 1.5 hours and other small breaks.
Me and my fellow ninja rider did not need absolutely any spare parts during the ride. Also please keep in mind that there is only 1 PBK in Rajasthan (Jaipur) and no PBK in MP.
I suffered from a bent alloy while on tour and had no option but to keep riding for 2000+ km on bent alloy as it was not available anywhere in Rajasthan.
Try to get phone numbers of Bajaj service engineers looking after those regions.

We have a facility of heat treating bent alloys in Pune. Got the alloy repaired at 1200 bucks.

Originally posted by trustvishwas View PostReplacement is 23k+taxes. It works out to 26k approx. I thought about claiming insurance but my bike is nearly 3 years old. Even if the insurance company had sanctioned 80% amount, I would had to fork out upwards of 5k. We have a facility of heat treating bent alloys in Pune. Got the alloy repaired at 1200 bucks.
