    Well i don't expect it to sound like a liter class bike but yes, if it sound like a big bike that's enough for me in this price

    Don't know why that difference. One more person confirmed me same about booking amount that it is 1 lac. Probably they are deliveri8ng in 20 days despite of 30 days, that's why asking for more :P

    I couldn't say it better than what you said.
    Not shine actually but that cool sparkling effect all over than pure paint like look, as we can see in cars.

    I checked the sound on some video, and it was good. For me , it should be loud and clear, lesser than liter class bike would be ok

    well the ducati 1198 and aprillia rsv4 are big liter class superbikes but they are twin's and sound very similar to gt650r but if u want vroom vroom sound then even a 600cc inline 4 will do the trick no need for liter class bike

    No dude. I bought the 250R mainly for track use and for some touring use too, and i'm yet to explore the track with her. Looks like she's gonna be around for sometime. Frankly, i havent even seen the 650 in the flesh and will hopefully do so over the weekend. No plans to upgrade as of now.

    metallic... as in the paint's got a "tinsel" effect to it.

    as far as i recall... the single tone red GT650R is non-metallic. but very glossy.

    well till now not seen GT in flesh in india , waiting for B'lore showroom to open.

    last year i have seen one red in Vienna , i liked the bike very much .. and fit and finish was also very good , as there were other bikes like Gixer 750 and BMW parked alongside .. from that time i am in like of it..

    now i want to see the bike here and i want to compare the fit and finish of the bike here with that.

    I guess color preference is subjective here and it will differ from person to person , What matters most is the overall package which is very promising.

    and I don't care about what ppl say , it's my bike I should like it ,It should bring big smile on my face when I open it's throttle . Let other ppl live in karizma/hayabusa shell. Let them be happy .
    Oh is that so? But how is it possible that only white comes in metallic and rest do not? Definitely color choice depends on person to person.

    And yeah, no body else can understand the feel of biker about his/her bike. Its just that you should be satisfied with the bike, whichever way you are taking it, nobody else matters than.

    It has fantastic performance.I consider it a big jump from the 150cc bike I have had earlier.You just need to slightly open the throttle and its zooms to 100kmph.
