    Its not about hard acceleration, but inclination of the seat. Even on R15v2, the pillion tends to slip forward even on slightest of braking/bumps. They need to hold the rider.

Even if V2 had grab rails, it would be a pain to hold them when the rear seat is inclined towards the front and a relatively big braking power. So sitting on a V2 with grab rails will make your arms pain and nothing else when the braking is done and in Indian roads, that is done quite a lot.

If its a female pillion then fine the rider would be fine I dont want to look like Karan johar while giving drop to my male friend

    Whether the bike has a center stand or not, sometimes we need to lift it to push it into a tight parking spot in parallel rows of parkkng and there's not enough space in front to come back in reverse in the correct angle.
    That's the case I'm talking about.

    CKD would mean expensive spares so we need to consider how much a mirror or indicator costs as these are prone to damage in daily traffic.
    Too early to conclude, but biggest factor will be price

    Back to topic, are both the headlamps 55W?

    Topic about the grab rails: i feel if the bikes are powerful, the grabrails wont help much. the only way where the pillion is safer and can sit correctly in these bikes is to put arms around the rider and take support of the tank. recently when i was pillion on D200, i hardly felt comfortable with the grabrails and was pulled back more since you grab the support thats behind you. you are already been pulled back due to the power hence you need something to hold on to which in infront of you. not defending the absence of grabrails but just an realistic observation. the only purpose it can serve is when you tie luggage

    Seeing all the night ride videos I guess so yes.
    And ya it has 7.4mah battery so one ought to have a 55W battery.

    I mean sometimes we need to lift the bike a bit to move it around in tight parking spots.
    Main stand absence is another point.
    Makes it tougher to repair punctures, lube the chain, etc.
    But if it comes with a provision for installing the center stand like in R15, we would be glad.
    I had it installed on my R15 & it has paid off really well.

    Everyone would love to do so, but parking your R25 in common parking areas or at office parking areas will draw unwanted attention. And hence little scratches will start coming up. Obviously it can be a everyday rideable superbike but not in India unless you have a separate parking at both office/college/other places and home.
