    GT650 is very aggresive in terms of stance very close to 600cc Sports segment bike while the riding position of N650 is similar to Karizma, yes similar to Karizma and not P220.

    What if it comes only in Green and Orange. I read few pages back people taking about blue one but blue as a colour is not available in N650 either on their 2010 or 2011 version.

    lowering the front suspension entirely.

    it's been done on a few 650Rs. improves handling.

    I saw the Bajaj website updated with the Ninja 650R silhouette TEASER, loved it & luckily its the same bike I fell in love with when Melroy first posted the pics on his FB profile. Cant wait to see it in flesh.

    BTW, Black looks hawttt...


    Finally found the right thread. the Offline threads give me a feel of a Social Networking forums with less features. lol

    Melroyal , You have booked a GT650R and I can see you still praised many time about Ninja . Do you reallylike Ninja more than GT.Are you in some kind of mood to cancel booking for your GT.

    blinga! blinga! bling!



    been doing a lot of looking up on the 650R recently.

    with a few front suspension mods and a pair of clip-ons...
    i'd pick this over the GT650R.

    Not much time guys...max by aug we will have bookings started!!!!!!!!!

    But yes cost....since it will be the first genuine 650 apart from Korean ones!!! the cost will be like the 250R---very high from rest of the bikes.....and then may be next year the honda's and yammies will strike with a low cost saving 600cc!!!

    This is just a prediction...i hope it remains one
    i agree with you about your prediction.. i really love kawi's.. i was kinda depressed when i heard the news of honda launching its 250 @ price 1.40 lacs lesser than that of ninja.. and in International market both bikes are at same price..
    i just wish if kawi may plan to open up a plant in India itself.. it will surely help them hiking their sales in India.. their bikes are nice.. they will surely get more sales with lower price tags just like Honda set an example with their 250..

    Please someone from Kawi read this post..

    plz dont compare it with a 250 CC !
    the best competition would be from hyosung GT650R, or with honda CBR600RR(dunno when they r gonna be here though)
    why is everyone interested in challenging CBR250R ?

    if the above question ans is yes, then no other bike will suit u , than this one
    me too like its headlight design ,
    yup .. u..said it right ... both are for different segment ppl
    Actually yes, commuting. A lot of my commutes are on the highway, Jaipur Road. Even my Pulsar manages an average speeds on the north side of 50 kmph.
    And in this small city I live in, traffic jams are a rarity even in city!

    Albeit I'm not sure about keeping only a 600... So, I think I might keep my Pulsar too.

    And yes, the headlight design of both bikes, is very subjective. I know a guy who chose Ninja's headlamp as better, and 2 other guys liked GT's better...
    GT is definitely sporty, given the riding position and engine character.

    It seems like GT is an evolution of RTR 180 (performance, vibes, high rpms, etc.) while Ninja is an evolution of P180 (mileage, comfort, commuting, etc.). Just kidding though...

    You're right about maintenance costs and about GT's looks over N650 (subjectively), even though I think opposite. Just can't stand those 2 headlights, one over another, MV Agusta like...
