    Your most welcome.

    Ride safe and hope you have your riding gear sorted.

    However, let me also inform you that there isnt much of a difference in size of the Ninja 250r and the GT250r. The difference in wheelbase is just 45mm thats is 4.5cms.

    If you still have the choice, please have a extended test ride session on both before you decide. Also, if you are able to do so, do not forget to show the tacho needle the better side of 14k rpm on the ninja. It will help you decide.

      The Ninja 250r is 3.35 lakh Bangalore on road.Even if the GT250r priced at 2.8 lakh on-road,55k is a considerable premium.

        Congrats buddy on the bike. You have given into to your heart, just go with it. There is no right or wrong choice, there is only personal choice. My only warning would be GT is not a city bike, so don't be put down by the strain in riding her in the city as a daily ride. Once you put in some solid time begin the wheel, city rides will become more comfortable.

        So invest the time and enjoy the bike on highways.

        • Garware Motors website is "Under construction"

          Is this means its updating GT250R OR...OR... is this anything to do with parting away with Hyosung and DSK relation ??

                due to its bigger size and too sporty riding position, experts say it is not good for city commuting.

                and the big size of GT250R will be an Advantage if I upgrade to a 600 or a liter class bike...So finalized this !

                definitely.

                  Wasn't sure if Bangalore had such ridiculous taxes..

                  I thought Mumbai takes the cake when it comes to taxing the masses. In mumbai the prices were around 3.15lacs.

                  Also 55k difference makes it a 16% jump, only for riders in Bengaluru. I wonder how many bikers will be deterred by that difference in price there.

                    Riding gear is yet to be bought...Since I use a Honda Dio which doesn't even need a transmission gear... lol ... I never purchased anything until now ...
                    But since I have already paid the advance...I will be loosing 10k if I cancel the GT250R now .. Ninja250R is definitely the King of 250s ... But I wanted something different..

                          I do know the seating and riding position is not meant for city riding...But my daily city riding is ridiculously small...All ill be doing is going to college and return home in a traffic free road...not more than 6 - 10 kms a Day .. So I decided to get something flashy instead of something powerful ...

                            Go right ahead buddy. It will surely stand out for you as you like.

                            And do keep a good budget aside for decent quality riding gear.

                            Ride safe.
