    Real case... what happens during the mumbai / bangalore... rainy season with all those flood infested, traffic jammed roads we are supposed to conquer before reaching back to the warmth of our garage and home?

    Usually when my zma used to wade through water a knee deep height of water was still manageable.... so what with the Ninja 650r.
    even, i was thinking the same.

    i 2nd ur opinion..I have personally checked out the Hyosungs in the Lower Parel showroom...The fit and finish of the GT didnt cut ice with me...The ST7 on the other hand had immense presence.. Old school wid acres of chrome...I personally feel the N650 would have better road presence..

    the GT looks beefier. it's got a big exhaust.

    the N650R doesn't have an exhaust.


    tho i am of the opinion that when it comes to road presence...
    NOTHING beats Ninja Green.

    I have repeated it time and again that the GT coming to India has lesser bhp than the one selling outside and most probably the Ninja650 will have a better top speed (Based on my ride experience).

    Btw red single tone is my favourite colour in GT.

    P.S: Read the OD GT650 article. For a change a mag article which truly reflects what the bike actually is.
    MG Bro, I appreciate all the info you shared. It makes my confirmed decision even stronger. Thanks.

    One more thing, can you please tell me how exactly are both these machines detuned?
    I'm asking because, if they detune only by putting a more (noise+pollution) restrictive exhaust than the one abroad, its a good thing because we can get an Akrapovics or TwoBrothers full exhaust system to solve the detuning and get even more power than stock.
    So, what exactly is this "detuning", in case of GT and in case of N650?

    (I do hope the "detuning" is not some re-mapping, compression ratio decrease or Fi adjustment, or things we could never sort out.)
