  • @Prasoon :- thanks for the update, at 5.5 Lakhs ex-showroom, in bangy it will cross the 6.25 lakh mark, I know I shoudnt say this but ... I can get a premium hatch at that price.

    How I wish if the price was 5 Lakhs on road, looks like my CBR booking stays.

    Bajaj atleast reduce the price of the smaller kwacker, get it down to atleast 2.5 Lakhs.

      How many of those hatches do 0-100 in 3.8 seconds and top out at roughly 220 Kmph!?!

            I know, I know thats why I put those ......... . I would still say it is a little on the higher side, I am more interested in knowing the BLR on road price now.

            So are you planning one?

              A Honda Accord is not a hatchback buddy..And no.. It can only dream to do a 0-100 kmph is under 4 secs.. For the record, Ferrari 360 Modena does it in 4.1 seconds..

                Agreed that its high! Even the N250 is on the higher side. But beggars can't be choosers!

                Yes, in all probability the N650 is my next bike. But definitely not picking it up this year. Have a few changes coming up on the career front, once that's settled I'd know how soon I can lay my hands on this green meanie!

                  So I guess the news is officially out now... its true that the distributors have been informed of the launch and orders have been placed...

                  Also i got a chance to get up close and personal with the 650R day a few days ago.. dont ask where dont ask how... all i can say is that indian RTO guys (or some certification guys) were there as well..

                  It was good to see the mini-beast and trust me it looks much better in reality...
                  Not trying to shoot you down or validate the truth in your post, but i called Gopi, the manager at PBK Blore and he was totally unaware of the 650R's plans. Pointed him to this thread. Hopefully we see the bike here soon and at a competitive price.

                    Can Honda accord really do that.. i have my doubts on it... It is not near also

                    Check : Honda Specs. (Specifications like acceleration, top speed, hp, 1/4 mile etc.)

                      Now, what is meant by off the rack in this context?

                        As far as i know, OTR stands for On The Road price as in the price the customer has to pay inclusive of the standard and local taxes.
                        One motorcycle raced another on public streets.
                        The ambulance won.

                          haha... relax. i didn't say an Accord is a hatchback.

                          i was implying that even a "*behemoth" Accord wouldn't be able to beat the GT650R's acceleration.

                          * (now i'm not saying an Accord is a big car... just that's it's more powerful than a hatchback)

                          i drive one. it takes over 5.5 seconds.

                          and... an Audi A8 wouldn't do 100kmph in under 4 seconds.

                          same here... New Bombay Probiking is virtually oblivious of the existence of the Kawasaki 650R.

                          • Lame & Idiotic question : Is this the 2011 Version ? If so would we get getting the digital speedo? I still like the analogue dials over the digital one's on the Ninja

                              The N650R has sported the digital gauge post 2008 AFAIK!
