    Guys, sorry to break the ice, but i think its the proper speed.. I mean, there could be an error of 10% max, but that's about it.. The reason it feels so slow is because its a five laned freeway, and secondly, the cars are doing 120-130kmph.. So, this will feel that way.. I've zoomed past vehicles at around 120+ when they were doing 50, so i kinda realize that in this video.. Also, internationally, the white lines are longer.. About 10m each, with the same 10m gap between two consecutive lines.. So, I'm sure it's real.. Besides, do u guys think Kawasaki would release a bike with 50% speedo error..?
    Firstly i do not think so that this video is released from kawasaki..
    nothing official about it...

    I have ridden at speed of 160+ many a times and i know that the white line pass very quickly..
    Look at distant poles in the video.. can you see that their approaching speed is also slow.

    the bike in that vid is going half the speedo indicated speed... or even slower.
    I hear 5 gear shifts in this video?
    and he was at around 8k rpm,
    Cant the N650 do 200 at 9k rpm in 5th or 6th gear?
    Correct me if am wrong,
    PEACE

    EDIT:check this video even in this he does a 206 at 9k ish rpm,
    uma rodovia qualquer em Minas Gerais ...nao deu pra acelerar mais por causa da curva logo a frente. =/

    Like i mentioned earlier, my intent was not to validate if you were stating facts. I was also excited to know the bigger kawa was here and wanted to check it out, hence called them. Pity they had no clue.

    Peace.

    Off the rack is more of a slang... so..!

    Cheers!!
    Off The Rack would imply the price of the product as is.

    On The Road would imply the total cost of the product including tax/registration etc.

    two very different meanings from the same acronym (OTR)

    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.

    Anything below 800cc will have to be assembled and homologated in India to be sold in India. Thats why Hyosung is assembling in India.

    They cannot sell the 6R in India if they don't 'at least' assemble it in India.. And CKD duties are a LOT less than CBU as you just mentioned. Prices are in front of all to see. The website I referred for these prices is

    Are you joking?
    Ninja 650R to be sold here for 4.5 Lacs.
