Shop No 6,Shilip Tower,B.P Marg,Near Deepak Cinema,Opp.Union Bank of India. Lower Parel(W)

As you exit the Phonex Mill take the left,go straight.Take the left under the flyover.On the left hand side you will find a old cinema(Deepak cinema).Go little straight and take left.You will see Kamala Yamaha Showroom.Behind that two shops is Ronit Motors.

Thanks a ton... So I take a left from the first signal right...? Or do I have to take a left when the road becomes a "noentry" below the next flyover... Is it near Hardrock Cafe and Shiros or the peninsula tower...?

Hi rossi.The video does show a top speed of 235 kmph which may not be accurate.As you also need to account for speedo error.

Any bike above 800cc comes in the original trim and don't need pass through any regulation and hence you see those numbers 200hp, 180hp.
But the equation completely changes for anything less than 800cc, each and every part needs to pass through ARAI process and since Indian regulation are more stringent than most of the other countries one see those cuts in bhp

hmmm... but it still sounds like a very dumb thing to do... *face palm*
Is there anyway to retune it to original standards after we get the bike...?

We told this to Mrs. Diya Garware-Ibanez. And she assured us that this matter is looked in into and they are trying to find a solution for that.

They are into motorcycles for the first time. You seriously think they can fix this issue?

A bike which red lines at 10k and has unpleasant vibes after 6k , how much usable is that power then ?

Surprisingly, i felt the other way round. I've taken the bike to 174 and beyond 150kph, all i could feel was wind and speed. Could not even figure out the vibes at such high speeds.

If you didnt feel the vibes then I feel your review is a very poor one. Or you rode some other bike not the GT650

Diya Garware Ibanez says that she will look into the matter of "vibration" is more of PR stuff.
Even the Ninja 650R has a fair bit of vibes.You cannot totally rule out vibration from a Twin Cylinder bike unless its a inline4.

**pp180** · 05-03-2011, 05:25 PM

All V twins have vibes compared to inline but there are ways to keep minimal vibes to reach rider.
Ninja 650R is a parallel twin so hopefully vibes are lesser than a v-twin and also in there 2009 model they are done some work to reduce the vibes (or not to reach the rider)

OT : how is a parallel engine configuration different from inline engines and
Which is the cheapest inline 4 we can get in India .

it's unlikely that it'll have the kinda vibes being talked about on the GT650R tho.

the "cheapest" officially available inline four in india is the Suzuki Bandit 1250.

or you can always get a second hand CBR400RR for under 2.5 lac and smoke everything below 650cc from here to kingdom come.

Melroy: Agreed that V's have vibes but the manufactures try to dampen them using different methods, it seems here it is not even tried.

Try and get a ride of the same for at least a span of 5-6 KMS and then you can see what people here are talking about.

Yes all vTwins have vibes, but then some people love\live-with them too... strangely not many complained on the international forums, but it seems some what 'exagerated' in this Indian iteration with the machine!

Like MG said, may be they phucked up! Who knows!

(I for one dont mind vibes, learnt on RX, rode the RD, LOVE the RTR)

WTH.... most of the ppl here who are poking abt the vibs never ridden the bike .. they just got these from some online forums and try to put it with some extra ..

as Satyen said .. in the whole internet forums i didn;t find most of the ppl cribbing about vibs .. except some magazine reviews ... it seems like most of the vibs can be nullified by proper assembly of the bike and remaining some with new tech ..

Ppl should see how much vibs u get from MT-01 when it starts [later its ease out]... all the big engines will have considerable vibs
