You are right this is OT.. we should end this.

^^

Planning to go for it??

Everytime the tracker shows this thread I jump in to check if we have a confirm news on the pricing and what I get to see is people arguing just to prove superiority of words...and if one of them gets another support its his BALL. Chill guys, wont we get to know what percentage shift to N650 pretty soon? Just 3 days.

Humble request : For now can we have this thread updated with some more concrete news(if anybody has one)?

P.S : Now don't bash me...Its just my excitement/frustration(of waiting for the rest of news) speaking

blah....blah...blah... [take it pun way]

these arguments not gonna head anywhere, its my mistake which i didn;t put in the right context ... it should been put like this :

earlier we didn't had 600+CC now we have 1 [read as GT].. which already on sale .. now ppl who hoped to get 600+ bikes didn't had any choice then GT...so ideally pointing ..all they wanted is to buy this.
Now N650 will be on sale soon .. now tell me friend how many ppl who already book GT will cancel it and go for N650 ? or even how many person who spending 5+lac and who is dreaming about big bike will go for N650 ?
Still i can say Hardly 5-10% will go for it .. and those % of ppl are those who know exactly what kind of bike they want for which purpose [u can say specific category of ppl ]..

if u think that there are "N" number of ppl who are limited [at least] knowledge of bikes and the purpose they are gonna use it .. will go for N650 .. then ...know this i can show u there 90% others who don;t know wt they are buying [read as WOW,looks and road presence will sells more ]

anyway this is pointless to discuss about these things .. let the bike launch and Njoy the rides

Any more discussions we can carry on on PM

You NAILED it this time buddy

Both the bikes will move off the showroom floors. What tilts the scales in the Ninja's favor is the brand, quality and performance/reviews.
The GT will surely suffer from bad quality perception, after sales service syndrome; most importantly, every buyer will surely think of what happened to the earlier Hyosung venture and how the owners were left out. For the masses to take Garware Motors more seriously, it will take time.

Hunto Pulsar is NOT in that CC category! and YOU ARE OT! and weak in Maths.

SO: if it IS 4.5L, where are the rest of the guys who promised they are buying the bike with me

And anyone heard about the Triumph range of bikes coming in rumour? If thats true then the T675 comes in for 5 Lakhs and that is YUMMY! (But I could still do with the n650)

btw, as per your formula, ninja will eat (-ve) infinite % of the gt share! lol (yup i have the time to calculate that shit)

hey, how dare you challenge the hunto? bajaj p 220 sells 5 times more than any other sports bike. dare you mock not that bike

edit: I think we will go ot very soon.

Emperical science have confirmed that the Ninja 650 will eat (10^4/10.1)*(878-98/cos(80)*sin(90)) share of the GT650.
Share. GT650. You kidding me

The set of customers who will buy the GT is 'different' from the set of customers who will buy the N650! in the 500-800cc class, I predict Royal enfield will be the most selling in that class!

If your were using the said common sense then you would have never quoted any figures. you could have gotten away by saying something pretty subjective... but you chose to quote hard numbers... that too with a huge amount of variability.

and why would i check on xbhp members shifting their choices?... i'm not the one spewing random numbers... you are! so you go ahead and prove your numbers right my friend.

+1 ... well said.
It is just plain laughable when people start pulling numbers out of the air.

Just a doubt... do you even know how much(or how many people) is/are5-10% here?

Typing in random figure just by watching posts on xbhp is kind of lame dude

Lol... its always need not to be market research ... some times a little COMMON SENSE will shows lot of things

if u need stats .. just check the whole xbhp u'll come to know how many shifted there choice to N650 and Vice-versa

Now where did you pull out that stat from? you read some research or market study or something?

I find it pretty amusing that people start quoting numbers without any basis or underlying facts.

5-10%... the top end of the estimation is double of the lower end... LOL... just LOL.

sorry buddy .. i am not aware wt ur trying to say .. but i didn;t have any view on new R15.. in this thread .


i don;t agree with the part of maintenance of N650 will be cheaper than GT... and i don;t think N250 is any way cheaper in terms of spares and parts ... in 250 category... bajaj intentionally placed Green @ higher side ... u can even import comet parts from Thailand for much cheaper than N250 parts available in india ..
can't believe me ..just check with comet owners ... u have to accept the fact that Greens are placed much higher price tag to project its image of posh bike in affordable category.. [N650 price i have not included ..as i don;t trust source ..untill official pricing]

and about last longer bike ....trust me ..its depends solly on owners care ..

buddy, if you are kidding, please put smilies. or is it that i and the person above have misinterpretted you?

I am confused with your last post. (I am not kidding)

But i hightly doubt the part of N650 Maintenance. Ninja 250 is cheap to maintain. After looking at how much maintenance a Comet requires compared to a N250, N650 will definitely be cheaper to maintain and will last longer than GT650.


Are you really saying R15 will eat Hyosung and Kwackers market? ROFLMAO .
