        I had a look at this beauty at the Bund Garden road showroom in Pune. The photos are as attached.
        Unfortunately I clicked it on mobile but decent snaps..at least for now. Bike looks neat not bulky as GT650. Can somebody explain about that exhaust? Also on the instrumental panel on the right there is indicator for FI what does that mean?
        Nice pics there Abhijit..

        FI light is the fuel injection light. If there is any problem with your furl injection related system it will be red. If it glows, call up- probiking..Thats the only solution.
        Its there for the N250R as well. Did glow for me once when a radiator fan buse was blown .

          Hi Jak,

          Thanks. I also thought of it first that it has to be related to FI system but didn't know that it is a warning light. Asked the person at Probiker, but he said he is not ware of it, but since now you have mentioned that it is also available for 250 model, I wonder how come he is not aware of it. Anyways thanks a lot for the info...

              Hi Vishwas,

              Any specific reason to design an exhaust like that?
              I'm not an expert but many people have changed the stock exhaust for the performance improvement as I read the different forums. The exhaust when diassembled looks like this:

              • ^^^ Heard that exhaust also acts to balancing the vehicle.

                @n_aditya - Yep, I'm aware on those. Like I said before, I was talking only w.r.t price & touring perspective. And most ppl here thatI know of, tour & enjoy high speed riding on roads than on tracks.

                • The main purpose of this type of exhaust is to reduce unsprung weight. Underseat and normal exhausts are quite bulky and because of their greater length weigh more. Also chances of burning your leg or other vital body parts is much higher for those exhausts.

                  Hence now a days, many bikes come with this type of exhaust.

                  Replacing exhaust for higher performance is a very old game. IMO, the increased power due to replacement exhaust is not justifiable for the price paid. Unless your skill levels are in top 98 percentile, you will be hard pressed to derive any benefit out of it.

                  I know many would be fuming at my next statement. --> Mainly what the replacement exhausts do is generate more noise; thereby attracting more attention to rider. Nothing more.

                  • An underslung exhaust also helps in centralizing the weight.

                            You have a knack of keeping people on the edge and then moving the hill further away to add a new edge :P

                            I wish you had some 'sources' talking about the I4 sometimes...I'll head to the nearest PBK, have to see the 650R in person.

                              Is this exhaust 'Fat' coz its shorter and connected to a twin cylinder? Never seen a 'Fat' exhaust like this before...

                              • ^^^Thanks a lot..aargee & Vishwas.. May be there is more to it...I read in a review that "...Ejecting the spent gases into a unique centrally located exhaust system that lives under the engine, there is a three-way catalyzer tucked away in there for clean living. Affording the Ninja 650 a very clean look from the rear, it seems this location is becoming more and more popular in the two-wheeled world, a good number of year’s after Eric Buell first used the system". Not sure abt three-way catalyzer in this version.
