    Yes. We have bro. The inauguration happened on monday. Ms. Diya Garware was also here. She unveiled the ST7 here in chennai. and they let me unveil the Gt650r being their first customer in chennai.

    Had a chat with her and she was kind enough to reply me.

    1) the bike had reasonable grunt (specially for someone upgrading from any of the Indian bikes)
    2) the brakes seemed to be adequate (a piglet came in front @80kph, and had to brake hard)
    3) despite it's weight the bike turned well
    4) no excessive vibes were felt @7500rpm
    5) sounds nice
    Negatives
    1) the bike is heavy
    2) gear shift experience was not quite upto the mark(cannot pinpoint anything)
    3) could find neutral only after 4-5 attempts
    4) switch gear quality seemed poor

    The bike has a sporty riding position and will put some strain on the wrists, but should not be a problem, it is still comfortable overall.
    It was a very short ride and the road was not conducive for a test ride of such a bike to make any real sense out of it.
    Kudos to Hyosung for providing test rides. I don't think Kawasaki will show the same courtesy to it's prospective customers.
    Thanks bro for the short but yet good informative review for a noob like me in the big bike world. 4.5L for Kawasaki seems to be very tempting.
    Very welcome to Bajaj and Hyosung for bringing these beautiful yet affordable bikes. At least my wait to own a big bike has been reduced to a couple of years shorter.

    How is your experience with all three GT's , can you brief about your riding impression . I have never ridden a bike more than 20Bhp bike before and this was first time a rode a 70 bhp bike , so can't assess it's ability fully.

    Zig Wheels report said that the Ninja 650R is priced at 4.5L ex-showroom Pune, while the GT650 is priced at 4.69L.

    Awesome pricing by Bajaj and this makes the market better for us.
    Nope, he was not aware of any revision. When asked, his reply was more diplomatic in terms of both the bikes being different and catering to different customers and all that stuff.

    Is the price confirmed for the bigger Ninja? Am not a big fan of Zig Wheels. 4.5L ex-showroom is too good to be true.

    So, looks like there'll be another addition to your garage
