About the service and spares.... well Garware Motors and Hyosung, both are in their infancy and it's understandable that the service and spares availability would be a bit of a compromise for the time being. But knowing the Gurgaon dealership, I'm sure they would be doing their best in this area.

    I'm not sure about the 20 days delivery period (it would be amazing if it's actually a 20 days), but yes the booking amount is definitely 1 lakhs

    So, cheers to your future buy and ride safe.
    Well said, costs makes to step back many times. Hysoung seems really perfect one this time to show, to ride , to enjoy. Jaipur also have no so much long and clear roads to go long way and enjoy those big liter class bikes. My office is also just 7 kms away, so weekends will be only choice at the coffee shop after a ride.

    I hope spares would not come out as issue, as i already have enough issues like double mind to whether buy this bike, buy a new car(just because i hate rains) or use money somewhere. And also because GHARWALE dnt want me to buy such expensive bike.

    They told me booking amount is 1 lac. I am confused what to do as they asked me to come and check the bike in flesh. Now that's big story. First have to go to gurgaon, just to have a look at bike and than have to make payments. Again will have to go back for bike delivery, and have to get it back riding all the way. A new bike, riding it almost 300 kms, that's also on very first day when engine is trying to open up.

    Lots of load....!!!

    Why don't they open a showroom in Jaipr or why didn't Hyosung joined hands with some settled company like kinetic, TVS etc. Grrrrr

    BDW are you also going to buy this bike soon and thanks.

    Red- black combo looks best to me. No other color is worth and buying a white may hurt . Someday some one can point it and say "hey, see its modified KARIZMA ZMR" Grrrrr or "copy of hayabusa" because of its front.

    I mean my tight budget would not allow me for a R1 or Aprillia, but this middle level would do good for me Only servicing and spare parts are big issue seems to me.

    Can anybody share more about booking amount for this and about spares? I am in jaipur and called up to gurgaon showroom of Garware motors. They asked me for 1 lac as booking amount and 20 days for delivery.

    Now an ownership thread is a must!

    The tail of the GT 650R reminds me of the Ducati Desmosedici RR.

    Thanks prashant.It feels a very BIG difference jumping up from a 150cc motor.You need to keep a constant lookout on the speedo as the bike just zooms to 100kmph.

    Looking forward to your inputs on the ownership thread. Can you throw some light on the overall sales experience and in particular delivery of the vehicle. This will be of use to people who do have concerns about how well Garware Motors will be able to handle customers considering that people are shelling out good money for these bikes.
    Thanks neil for the wishes.Overall experience with Ronit Motors,Mumbai was good.

    BTW, make the fairing decal free.
    The photo doesn't do justice to the color of the bike,you should check out the bike in person.Actually I like the decals,it reminds me of the Suzuki GSXR bikes.
