yikes! i don't think you understood my post.

i said... "this is orange. (pic source: google images. location: UK)"

Hyosung DOES NOT have an Orange or Orange-Black GT650R for India.

my post was made in reply to someone saying Hyosung has an orange GT650R for india.

it's got a bright red one... a bright red and black one... and a red(ish) and black one.

i have seen the these bikes in the flesh...
and anyone who says that one of the reds is orange is wrong.
and has no idea what colour "orange" really is.

the second red is a slightly yellowish red but it's not orange.

No its not

I still maintain that the orangish-black color(not the orange you talking about) is available here. I have also seen both the colors in flesh and hence I said it looks a lot like the sunlight copper color on the Swift.

EDIT: Go to the Garware Motors website and check the 4th color from left.

In the 2nd pic with black GT650R you can see the orange+black one in the background.

cheers.

the garware motors website uses totally crap quality images of the GT650R.
totally un-calibrated images.

if u go by what the red "looks" like...
then according the the Garware website...
the GT650R comes in THREE reds.

(cheap two bit webdesign.)

for a proper colour chart... go to the Hyosung US website.
here's the LINK

DISCLAIMER: I'm saying the colour is a Yellowish Red.

This is Orange.
or should we call this Yellow???

Anyway... enough of this Orange-Red discussion. Over n Out.

I had some work in Gurgaon and after completing my work i Went to Gurgaon Showroom today for test ride of GT but I was wearing sandals and was refused a test ride without shoes due to safety reason

, I even requested that i won't be revving bike as i am not aware about it's power delivery but i can at least get a feel of bike by riding at 40-50 Km/hrs but still they refused politely. I know the importance of proper riding gears , I am still planning to Buy a sportbike but i already bought Jacket from DSG (2 weeks back and it's still packed) , already ordered for Gloves and Knee guard from STG (which my friend will carry from US).
I have no issues with it , it there product and it all depends on them how they wanna sell it and whom they wanna sell it but i don't understand there safety concern in a simple ride of 1-2 km at 40-50 km/hrs speed .

Now I will wait from Ninja or till a new Garware dealership opens in DELHI.
I guess GT is not my destiny

As you have no issues with Garware's decision about their product and about how they want to sale it and to whom, you should have no issues with their safety confern. It is a company's prerogative to decide basic requirements for test rides.

Agreed Vishwas,
I have no issues with there safety confern but If they are so much concerned about rider safety then they should also keep at least a pair of quality gloves for TD . Knee Guard , Elbow guard sounds too much but i expect them to provide at least quality gloves to there riders for TD to justify there safety concern.

ur words are pointless...

its you who wants TD and its not a 50CC Luna which ur going to ride ... even if u fall from it @ standstill .. u'll get hurt royally

i want every showroom irrespective of bike CC should adopt this policy .. its all about responsibility and safe riding .. i am impressed and happy that Garware is seriously taking biking in good way

Now Hop in to ur show .. get a TD

don;t feel insulted with there reply ... take it in +ve way ... and report us back ur experience with the bike

OT: i ride R15 ..and i won't ride bike if i don;t wear shoe.. i never ride with slippers and i never ridden till now .. its safety and respect which ur giving to your bike

My two cents on your experience with Gurgaon Hyosung Dealership -

I don't think, any company anywhere would be providing you gear to do a test ride, because the fitting of the gear is paramount to your safety. You might get some gears which are of general fit, but most are not.

The people at Radiant Lifestyle did not offer you a test ride because you were in sandals, it was more so because, on both the ST7 and GT650R, the foot controls are placed in a manner that riding the bikes in sandals would have surely distracted you while operating the foot controls and operating them while in sandals would have surely cause your foot to slip of the pegs (and I'm sure that would have happened). So, even if you are riding at 40-50 kmph, that's not even in picture when you are not able concentrate on your riding and concentrating more as to how your foot is operating.

1. My right arm bone was cracked at 35 kmph on my Pulsar 180. So, even that speed is dangerous if you encounter immovable objects on your way.
I would regard a safe speed as 5 kmph. At this speed, at the best, my balls would be hurt against the tank slightly, that's it.

2. I agree with those Garware people. I suggest that you get all geared up and try test riding again. Actually, I tell you, all they want is less posers and more serious prospective customers. Presence of gears is probably a filter for them to identify true customers. All this time, they knew you won't crash the bike.

Happy to read that at-least garware is not giving test rides without proper riding gear. Otherwise just walk into a HH, Bajaj, Yamaha or TVS showroom and they will give u a test ride. It just dont matter if ur wearing a armani or a Dhoti. They always have a odd-looking-weard-fitting 100 Rupee helmet for "safety"
