    You are not right!
    Almost everyone from xBhp Pune had ridden the bike properly so whatever has been written here is purely based on test ride experience ( Garware had given test rides on last Sunday) and when I say test ride everyone had a chance to open it and take it beyond 150+ .
    So think before pointing finger at someone.

      i said most of them .. not everyone ...
      yes i read ur comment on last few pages where mentioned about test ride for 40+ppl ... i don;t think all of them here and mentioning about the vibes .. anyway .. i think proper assembling of bike might reduce 50% of vibes i guess

        Hi Nagoo , I have not ridden the GT but I have sat on bike and even revved it till 4000-4500 rpm and i can bet that vibes on tank,handlebars even at idle were comparable to our indian bullets.
        I guess most of the ppl in xbhp know there stuff ,We have to wait to get the clear picture till some GT owners writes an ownership experience.

          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.
          Agreed,Kawasaki Ninja 650R has reduced the vibes a fair bit on their twin cylinder engine unlike the GT650R though.

          • This thread is turning out to be a vibe war... I am not getting good vibes about this... But the the vibes about vibes cant be good anyways... So can we put our vibes aside and wait for full fledged ownership reports...

            • Haven't seem the GT650R upclose to comment on its finish quality or ridden it to comment on its vibes. But the USP of the GT650R is definitely its Big Bike looks (a la Pseudo Superbike) at 1/2 the money.

              According to me as long as the after sales experience (a challenge for Garware) is pleasant, the engine vibes might not be a big issue.

                  • ride a bloody harley. you'll have a zing in ur palms a whole 5 minutes after you've got off the bike.

                    vibes are good. and they're part n parcel of a V-twin.

                    i doubt anyone who is seriously considering on buying a GT650R want's it to feel like a Unicorn.

                    i'm waiting for the Lower Parel showroom to start with test rides.

                    then i can decide if I definitely want one.

                    wondering tho... where in the Lower Parel area can i ride the bike above 120kmph??? let alone over 170kmph

                        The quality is better than the one offered by Indian manufactures.

                          The test ride was taken on a red black CBU bike so the assembling part goes off the talk...

                            Hope , to check the reviews of some indian customers .. and like to see indian assembled bike quality


                            more over .. Garware can at-least try to manufacture small parts for the bike .. like all the body parts .. and some other parts which are not difficult one

                            • First we complain that we want a big bike at a moderate price ,
                              Somebody comes out with it.. Happy..
                              Now we complain that it has this missing and thats missing..
                              And gives you vibes as complementary.

                              Come on cant expect a Honda..ish in 5L V twin.
                              a V twin made by any company is prone to Vibes .. WHich is by design inheritence and nothing to do with Hysoung.

                              As of quality of the parts , are they falling off or cracking ?
                              Does the zma have amazing plastics? ARent we living with it? This is defintely better than that , But may not be the best.

                              After all everything comes at a price.

                                No other manufacturer has gone through the trouble of releasing an affordable (relative to the bigger bikes) 600 cc bike. And a litre class bike is expensive for a middle class Indian enthusiast. Its like what someone said on the CBR thread, the problem is not with the bike, its with the expectation levels that people have from non-commuter bikes.
