        • The poll makes me wonder as why no one prefers Kwacker 600. What I see in K650 is...
          1. Build quality
          2. Strong support
          3. Good power & again if less than GT650, it should be minimal not miles apart

          But still why ppl don't prefer Kwacker 650? Is it not that good?

            Same cc, more power but less Paisa.

            We know how KN650 has a good engine, better looks (subjectively), ABS and much better brakes. But still, an almost 1 Lac difference in expected prices can't be ignored... Can it?


            We might have a lot of "changes in mindsets" here, if the GT650R turns out to be more costly than KN650...
            As we know, expected prices might as well change due to a lot of factors.

              The ABS itself makes it worth the extra 1 lac.
              I wouldn't have said this a year ago but...
              after riding the Fireblade with ABS.

              I would be more than willing to pay 1 lac more
              for brakes that keep me and my 5 lac ish bike less prone to falling.

              Visually, I do like the GT650R more tho.

                More power is not in huge variations right? I'm not against GT650R 'cause I love all motorcycles from Mojo to MvAgusta; all I'm trying to understand through a healthy debate is, Why?

                Now, looking at the other side...
                1. Power, as said before, a marginal increase, say about 15 bhp, will not give a huge difference on the road right?
                2. Buying is a one time affair, but maintenance is life long. Getting a Kwacker serviced at PBK is piece of cake, while the unestablished, unknown Garware motors (hopefully) is still a question
                3. So imagine for that "extra" power, which is a riding thrill compared to maintenance hassles. Is it worth?
                4. The point on ABS; worth enough on Kwacker

                No it can't, but, ABS & service backup cannot be ignored either. Imagine a horrible service experience with GT650R when a fellow friend of mine smiles with his Kwacker 650.

                        • Yep; its sad, but then, ST7 sounds cool enough, but for the service by Garware. Who're they? Have they got good experience? I'm willing to wait & watch rather than jump into the band wagon.

                            O[MG] .... is it true ??

                            is that means bike is coming for sure ???
                            but still there is no official news from anywhere

                            i can see that @MG became suddenly very active in past few weeks ...especially news relating to new bike launches .. i wonder from where he is getting it .... may be .. 6th sense or may be from dreams while he is sleeping
                            Nothing is Impossible ...

                              Doesn't matter. What matters is that he has been right so far.The ST7 sure does look good.
                              The GT650R as well,but I would want them to bring in the GT650 (the naked version) too.

                                Garware are into Polyster's and Plastics. I guess it will take them some time before they actually launch the bike. Currently they have started all the ground work.

                                Yes it's true. Next week the official announcement should come about the merger.

                                Does that make any difference whether its my 6th sense or its coming in my dreams. At the end of it the news should be genuine.

                                @bhasma - More number of variants equals more effort and with a new entrant(Garware) they would want to establish one product before coming with another one. This one is just my guess and not any news
