          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.
          I beg to differ, replacing a stock exhaust does not increase only power but also saves weight(generally). And IMO sound(music to my ears) of a bike is a very important aspect of a bike be it a RE or a R1. Please don't call it noise.

          BTW thanks for all the scoops. Is Kawasaki planning to launch the Z1000 or the Z750 also?

              But i have a question... Why only green color is available? , there should be atleast 1 more color choice available.

                While the news of Kawasaki launching 650R in India were doing rounds the colors displayed that time were black and orange. The orange one looked really gr8. Only single color for India is a little surprising ..

                  No one mentioned about orange and black. It was just a speculation created by us, infact I mentioned in the earlier thread that black as a colour is not available in Thailand so it landing in India is difficult.

                    mahabaleshwar has been painted green this time around

                    again a very vfm product but does it pulls your heart's strings--only time will tell

                    I am hoping the comparo should be brutally honest & not politically correct with the GT650 atleast for the xbhpians tuned to this thread

                        Is anyone aware if the rear 160 can be swapped with a 180 ?
                        would the swingarm and hugger accomodate it ?
                        Would the handling improve with it ?

                        Would the probiking guys offer aftermarket cans ?
                        If I fit one on my own, would it affect the warranty ?
                        Which can would be best suited for this bike ?

                        Any option of a damper ? Or is it not needed ?

                        One more thing . . . how much would a good quality paint job cost and where can it be done ?!

                        Too many questions, hope someone has the right answers

                        Cheers

                          the tyre will deform a bit. but a 20mm upsize should be a direct fit.

                          probiking? very unlikely.

                          yes. warranty void.

                          IKM doesn't have any approved after-market cans.

                          i've seen a few Akras, TwoBros & Venoms online.

                          will update with links in a bit.


                          with all these questions... you need to start your own "Mod my 650R Thread."

                            Single color option is not a good. When someone is spending 5 Lakh gandhis, they should be given Choice of few colors. Hopefuly, they will bring more colors in future. Bajaj's paint quality is very good. They can definitely paint it in there plants if they like.

                              Wow!! Now this is a fantastic deal.
                              Kudos to Bajaj & IKM for launching the bike at the price most of us would have liked it to be (whether we were actually going to pick the bike or not). Not one post saying the bike is over-priced.

                              Anyone have information on the ex-showroom price in Bangalore, & the OTR price there?

                              Thanks for that guys! Due to work, I couldn't even reply earlier to your kind offer.
                              If it is not too late now, I'd like one too (along with the facelifted R15 for the sporty posture).

                              The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                                On road - beilieve it or not - Rs4,62,767 in Mumbai, Rs4,46,000 in Vashi. I repeatedly asked - ex showroom or on-road, and the sales rep kept saying on-road. Maybe someone can cross-check!

                                @ satyen - logs on to sharekhan.com and puts a sell option on every damn thing!*

                                Decent finance schemes - the only thing missing now, but they are working on it, and will communicate to me tomorrow!
                                I think now Ninja 250R cost should be reduced from 3.11lac on road to some where 1.75 lac..else what's the comparision if 650R is for 4.46lac on road only 1.46 more to 250R....

                                Bajaj should really shed the price then there will be real competion between Kawasaki Vs Honda......

                                Can any one tell me where is the hyosung bike show room in mumbai..???
