    That's why I said if the bike was manufactured here then issues can be looked upon very easily.

    I fear that while detuning the engine performance it become a bit rough on the higher revs, happens with most of the imports when they are detuned for Indian regulation.
    ^This is just my view

    Are there TDs @the mumbai showroom?
    No dude... They said that there is still no official memo in written... It is still just a word of mouth... I tried to get a leak with many questions but to no avail... They genuinely were clueless... lol... They were sure about one thing... The KTM and the new pulsars gonna arrive with the Diwali Dhamaka...

    Test rides for the Hyosung are not available anywhere... I am planning to visit Ronit motors today evening when I go to collect my bike from servicing... Can anyone point me to the exact location...? Lower Parel is a city within itself...

I remember the Ninja250 preview had a bike with burnt clutch plates, courtesy an auto magazine that wanted a 'burnout' shot!

    Bro, please check the video below, it is doing 235 and for any doubt...............lets ride

    Check 0-200 for ninja 650R ,

    0-60 in 3.5 sec
    0-100 in 5.5 sec
    0-150 in 9.5 sec
    0-200 in 19 sec.


    YouTube - Ninja 650r 0-200

    Also closely checked the GT650R acceleration video in above post.The bike stared moving at after 18 sec.

    0-60 in 3.63 sec
    0-100 in 5.88 sec
    0-150 in 9.5 sec
    0-200 in 18.45 sec

    Xionite mate , Plz cross check the 0-200 figure again , it can put a denting effect on prospective GT owners.

    Its not a Indian manufactured bike so whatever the character of the bike it will remain like that unless there is a completely new version that will hit the market next year.

    0 to 60 in approximately 2.5 seconds. (kinda slow start)

    0 to 100 in a little over 5 seconds.

    0 to 150 in about 9 seconds .

    0 to 200 in roughly about 17 seconds.

    seems a bit lazy between 4000 to 6000 RPM.

    he's pushing it a decent bit... but no power wheelies!

    and then the camera seems to have got bumped out-of-focus.

    PROOF: YouTube - Comet GTR 650 220


    and this one tops out at 235 kmph.

    YouTube - comet 650 235km/h

    hyosung has opened the doors for many bikers to own a semi-superbike(just in terms of power) within their EMI limitations...i dont think most people would ever feel the vibrations or so because they will be so engrossed in getting to rider the bike after all its not always that you get to 'test ride' an SBK!!! and on weekend and morn/eve rides they wont be much of a bother i guess...after all everybody knows the bike loving well mannered public so they would not bother on daily commute to be parked and treated by the good guys!

    the autocar review thrashed the GT650R...

    also... wonder how soon and if Garware plan on bringing the unfaired version here.



    one reason i like this bike...

    YouTube - hyosung with screaming demon exhaust

    ducati much??

    listen to that rumble.

    hoping to ride one soon... before i make my decision.

    Somebody said it is on Lalbagh Road, but I don't see anything there. Even if it is coming up, I haven't seen any progress anywhere.

    CHEERS,

The V-engine sounds almost like a Ducati. But the vibrations after 6k rpm are quite a lot. I wanted to leave my hand. I hit 140 in 3rd gear. In my opinion the bike is good below 6k rpm. Above which it feels unpleasant.
    We told this to Mrs. Diya Garware-Ibanez. And she assured us that this matter is looked in into and they are trying to find a solution for that.
    The fit and finish seemed satisfactory.

    Other than that I feel that the GT650R will fulfill a person's desire to own a proper sportsbike. It feels like a sportsbike. It accelerates like one. It looks like one.
    So by the time I am ready to buy it I think the problem should be solved... Say by year end... I hope so though... thanks a lot for you insights...

    Because of the riding style. The Hyosung has proper race ergonomics. It would be great if Ninja ZX6R comes along! Because I really need the racing ergonomics for now. I will go for street bikes and sport tourers after 40 maybe.
    +1...

    I'm not saying that you are biased. But its just the fact that you may not be a "third-party"....
    From another thread...

    He is a manager for the Gurgaon dealer... He has said that in some thread... which I cant remember... I think it is somewhere in the beginning of this thread itself...


    Edit: There you go... http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/163...om-pune-9.html ... I dont know how to link a post... sorry... but the post is on this page.. he he

    Last i checked, the dealer at Blore mentioned that no test rides are going to be available. Hopefully this changes. I'll put my money down on the GT650R only after a test ride or after a few first hand ownership reviews.

    But by then the bigger Kawa will be out.
