    Even I love that colour. Incidentally My current Desktop Wallpaper is a Blue Ninja650R only. No doubt its super hottt, But when I see 'Black' My senses go numb & I surrender to the Darkness...


    MG: What colour are we expecting here in India?

    It would be nice if it had the handling and performance characters of a Ninja ZX.
    and the OTR price too?

    at 4.5 lac... Hyosung will have no choice but to drop the price of the GT650R.

    or maybe just launch the naked H650R at 4 lac.

    Lets not discuss possibilties here please... what makes it impossible?
    Somewhere in this thread we had a logic explaining why.... and to repeat, Bajaj always harped on the fact that the bikes are priced as per thier UK rates. So it turns out 3.1 OTR in India, and about 4.5L OTR for the 650.

    Hyosung is NOTHING in front of Kawasaki! Naada! Not even worth of being compared. The GT650 is an amazing product in its own, AND is overpriced, especially considering that parts of it are being assembled here!

    As far as dropping the cost for 250 is concerned, dropping it now makes little sense (and trust me, they might still do a small cut here and there) BUT the 650 is a different breed of machine altogether! Comparing thes two are like comparing the R15 with the P220.

    Edit: the Er6f does not have a sporty stance.... (I would personally LOVE the Versys, but that JUST wont sell in India) so the er6f (and may be n in later days) makes bloody good business sense!

    A sub 5L OTR according to me is just not possible, Bajaj hardly cares about huge sales numbers for Kawasaki. Had that been a case, 250R prices would have dropped as it sells in meagre number but its not happening, they are keeping that premium image.

    Bajaj would keep the Hyosung prices in mind and launch the 650R, i just dont like the riding stance else the Kawasaki is a looker and that pretty much sums it. 250R is a great machine so am expecting the same from it, smooth, vibe free performance

    Regarding spares - the Kawasaki spares are already at astronomical prices. Its a 650 and services would cost a bomb

    This thread is already 8 pages long and still nothing concrete about anything.

    Its better bajaj does throw more light right away before the excitement vanishes and everybody logging into thier site even stop recongnising the teaser and move on to the present ninja page.

    Funny part is that half of the thread content is about the Hyosung
    :P Thank you for the compliment!

    If that is true, considering the timing of the teaser, it is a very cheap tactic by bajaj to dent the sales of Hyosung GT650R IMHO.
    Dont bother doc, the proscrewmybiking folks are as aware as the guys are honda with the cbr spares! So chill! Itc oming, and its pretty neat... BUT NOT your types! (848, 848, 848 - and a ride!)

    I don't think so.

    There were news of the bigger Ninja getting launch by March-April. So according to me they are a bit late.. rains or no rains.


    I thought news were last year some month, then the lull, and then the video and then the green flash! I hope it comes soon. June is decent time. Before I end up draining my bank account and invest whatever remains in the all time low stock market I hope they start booking atleast!

    One query - does the Ninja 650R come with an optional ABS unit? I saw some pics of it on international forums.
    Wish they price it around 5.5 on road - brand name matters a lot and it would become a winner in the 650 segment, read some reviews and its a really great bike.

    The kawasaki green on 650R is the shiny metallic one i think, looks so awesome in the pics, i liked the 2010 model where full fairing is in the bike color, the 2011 model has black dull finish on lower fairing.
    internationally comes with and without ABS version... here... may be they would, may be they wouldnt...

    The GT650R itself cost 5.51Lacs(single tone colour).
    Doubtful that Ninja 650R will come in the same price bracket
    The GT is no Gods gift to mankind that bajaj HAS to use it as a benchmark.....! For all you know if that happens, Hyosung would change the further lower the pricing... (and that can happen for sure!)

    I still maintain a sub 5L OTR price and we have a winner in the long term. Remember you could still take the buyers on ride with the spares and service!

    @ danish dennis: I suggest you trust politicians more than these Probiking Dealers. They're always making remixes of news.

    One probiking guy says diwali, other says June. Frankly speaking, whom to trust?

    ------
    and guys: Ninja 650 and ER6f are different names in different markets for the same bike, ok? This bike has 72~ bhp. This is the bike we're expecting here.
    ER 6n is naked version of ER6f, with the same engine, frame, everything except the fairing. Same 72~ bhp.

    ZX 6R is their superports, 599cc 4 cylinder bike, which makes some 128~ bhp, has supersport riding position, chassis and brakes and costs about 1.5 times the cost of Ninja 650R.

    I hope this clears all the confusion. Ninja 650R is a road bike/ tourer, ZX 6R is a supersport.
    buudy in this case i think we should switch 2 waiting game...tats the only thing tat we can do..

    thats only related to 650 r because zx6r only comes in with fairing.. there is no naked version of zx6r..
    also i read abt this ER-6F and Er-6N thing in some magzine.. i forgot the name..
