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)

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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

Called up Probiking Mumbai & Pune..

I called up the Probiking showroom guys today in Mumbai (Vashi, Thane) and Pune. Since I was so curious about the booking and pricing of the Ninja650R, i couldn't resist calling them and asking if I could book it in advance (wishful thinking?)

Needless to say, they have NO CLUE about the launch date of this motorcycle or its pricing, or at least they pretended to have no clue and did a darn good job! For both Mumbai outlets, I had to actually tell them that the website says three days to go!

Well, I guess i just have to wait for the 9th of June, or something concrete in this thread. @satyen - let me know when you are going to buy the bike, you could have another buyer (me!) in tow..

**DOCTOR** · 06-07-2011, 01:08 AM

if the price is 4.5 lakh ex showroom i might book one

**hotshot.vipin** · 06-07-2011, 01:30 AM

**xionite** · 06-07-2011, 01:37 AM

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 ..

when you look at long term ownership. N250 is cheaper to own compared to comet. As its sold here, its much easier to get spares. You can import N250 parts from abroad as well. So far my friend who owned a GT250 and now owns N250 is much happier with his N250. He always keeps on bragging how bulletproof the engine is and how much more he could abuse it compared to Comet.

Ninja 650R launched!!!
