    Ya, looks like it. 120/130 at the rear. Its not that bad actually.
    I on the other hand like these 'mosquito' headlamps (personal choice) but these will be a deal-breaker for some.
    we can't get all the goodies in a single package

    Ride safe and have fun.

        The tyres definitely look beefier in these pics.

        I may be nit-picking here - but the mirrors look like they are stolen off a Splendor.
        Also regular steel handlebars - no clip ons?
        No protection for the radiator.
        And that bulky thing above the console - is that supposed to be a tank-bag?

        Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

                Except for Suzuki Inazuma GW250, I did not see any naked with clipons. Atleast as far as I have seen.

                  BMW K1300R (Aamir Khan's Dhoom3 bike) has it.

                  By the way according to the definitely of real Clip Ons.. even the Ninja 300/R15 actually doesn't have "clip ons". What they have is a 3 piece handlebar.

                    I guess it's a mixed breed out there. A good share of Beemers and almost all Kawi's (from the Z250 to the mighty Z1000) come with clip ons, while most of the Yammies and Hondas are yet to catch on.

                          The bike does have radiator cowls. Look closely at the right side of the bike. The left side radiator cowl has been removed as a accelerometer (the red tube) has been attached from the fork to the chassis. A accelerometer is also attached to the rear swing arm to grab rails. It seems the bike is being used for suspension testing.
                          Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.

                            Well, guess it's more of a matter of personal taste then. I prefer the 200NS's clip ons (and z1000's too ), but yeah, seems like the baby Triumph will take on it's daddy S3...

                                Sir jee, Aamir's D3 mobike is nothing less than a bat-mobile. Its handle bars are not only clip ons, but they twist as well.
                                Agree to the rest.
