      The above two parts marked in bold is not happening in India. GT scores for the fact that it looks big and the street presence is more.

        It sure does Vishwas. If they do launch the green, orange and the plasma blue i'll be mighty confused which to pick.

        I have nothing against you, But all your posts reflect so!
        Sorry Mel, couldn't resist but looks like buyers remorse to me No offense.

          Koreans will pack their bags soon.........
          Even if the Ninja is slightly higher say by 30-40k more still the ppl will buy the Japs......
          But yes there is one doubt...we as Indians (most of buyers check money and cc) will go for the Hyosung..the only reason and statement will be---"arey yar yeh 650 woh bhi 650 toh kyu 40-50k jyada dale") Such type of buyers are still there who do not know the specifications and numbers of these bikes they might purchase the koreans!!!.....
          I cant wait for the launch nemore!!

            Well, if the pricing of ER6F is close to what Vishwas ji has mentioned, then it might easily eat up around half the sales of Hyosung for sure.

            I believe, those who would stick on to GT650R would be those who want to have that big Superbikish feel which is absent in the ER6F. Otherwise considering the backing up provided by Bajaj and the popularity that Kawasaki has got, most of them would opt for ER6F in the 650cc segment.

              Only 50%, come on Sudeep, what would you do, if you were in a similar situation?

                Nowadays customers know more about the products being sold than the dealers themselves. The power of the net and forums has made the customer more informed and educated. Yes, we will still have a few who would make statements like above.

                  LOLZ!!!
                  When I said, "it might easily eat up around half the sales of Hyosung for sure", I'm considering that already 50% have either cancelled their GT650R or made up mind that it's ER6F for them. And from the remaining 50%, some must be seriously considering and some are waiting to see it in flesh.

                  Well, if I was having enough money for a 650cc, and was given a choice between the two, I would definitely choose the ER6F.

                    anyone can always go & cancel the booking & make an educated decision based on his or her preference

                    GT650R - for those who are track oriented & want a affordable bike.someone who will exploit the entire range of rpms only related to sports riding.
                    the bike does vibe a lot at higher rpms.
                    a miniscule population at that

                    N650R - for the rider who wants to do it all on a single bike.99 % of indians that is.from touring to minor corner cravings & bit of a rush at top speeds.
                    The bike is solid ,doesn't vibe & has an overall super build over hyosung.

                    PS:this will be the exact green that is available on N250R.so reason to cheer more

                      @darkknight :- Reading your post gives me an impression that you have ridden the bike. Have you?

                      I am more interested in that orange color, looks bloody hot.

                        +1 to that.

                        You forgot to add one more class - a class who just wants to buy a bigger looking bike instead of spending for a litre class bike. AFAIK, Ninja will not be fully faired, has no split seat and has no clip ons. So it would not give the feel of riding a litre class bike. (I am talking about not a serious biker but a poser and Feel is the key word.)

                        As sudeepnbr rightly said - If I was in the market for a 650 twin bike, I wouldn't mind spending 50k more on Ninja than Hyosung. However, my lack of knowledge, inability to have test ride of comparable bikes, would focus my attention to Hyosung because of full fairing, split seat, clip ons etc.

                        I believe that this green is different from N250 green and looks much much better. However, this is my personal opinion.

                          From what i have read, the GT650 is very heavy and not very easy to corner. Takes a lot of skill from the rider to ride this bike well.

                          The green on the Ninja 650R is different from the one on the smaller sibling. The 650R has a metallic tinge to it.

                            it is probably the review of one particular rider but i hav found it to be exact opposite as every time i enter a corner, the bike seems to lean eagerly i feel more confident on GT than on my P220 in case of leaning...

                              Considering the fact that the GT650 and ER6/650R belong to different category's,i dont see HYOSUNG's sales affecting that much.

                              The GT650 is also more powerful,producing close to 10bhp more and hey,Clip ons always sell in India .

                              AFAIK the 650R's posture is very relaxed,so relaxed that slightly taller ppl dont look all tht great on it.
                              And considering tht there are already inferior products in terms of quality selling well in India...i again dont see HYOSUNG in trouble.

                              anyway,lets wait and see

                              P220 is known for its poor handling at corners anyway.

                                at a sub 5 lac ex-showroom price... the only saving grace for the GT650R would be a price drop.

                                which is very possible.

                                a GT650R at an ex-showroom price of 4.3/4.5 lac.

                                possible??? will Garware bring it on??


                                and the green n the Ninja 650R is a metallic lime green.

                                this doesn't hold true with 650cc buyers... they're much more savvy than ur "average" discover/splendor crowd.

                                not at a 5/6 lac price tho.

                                there's going to more nit-picking the more someone spends.
