    Big sized R15? I wonder what you want to say? What does the R15 have in common with N650? N650 has a big rear tyre, same as GT...? I'm thinking about using it everyday for commuting. Will it be bad under these circumstances?

    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...

    It's a assumption which motoroids has picked up from Kawasaki other sites.

    India Kawasaki Motors haven't stated the specs yet.
    Those specs mentioned on Motoroids are from the UK website (which I seem to like quite a bit)

    The specs mentioned by SatyamZMA is from Kawasaki Ninja 650R ER-6F, Review, Price, Kawasaki Bikes India, Comparison, Images, Variants which is equally Cr@p. So which one you choose to believe is your wish. Before the official announcement comes from IKM, everything else is Cr@p... So, let the speculations continue. Whatever we speculate will also be Cr@p though..

    Correction:

    The reason these bikes dont get here is because of the huge investment that is required on the assembly plant.

    There are 2 ways to get such bikes down. As CBU's or CKD/SKD's.

    CBU's attract hefty duties and only 800cc and above (as per govt. norms) can be brought via this route. Thats why SBK's in India cost an arm, a leg, a kidney and a lung.
    Not necessarily. Even a puny 50 cc scooter can be bought in India as a CBU provided..

    [1] Import duties for CBU is paid

    [2] Homologation is done (mandatory by current Indian law for anything below 800 cc)


    This has been repeated zillion times in xBhp:

    According to currrent India law, anything above 800 cc doesn't need to go through homologation (which is a lengthy & time consuming process).

    Therefore its is easy for companies to bring in their 1000 cc bikes like fast food in India. Just that it one has to pay twice for that kind of fast food.
