      Yes I had a crazy youngster doing stunts by coming close to us ; just ignored them . They came back again and tried to say something I could not comprehend , later my son told me they were asking for the price . Djay the ebay link you sent me says "like new" for the silencer . Pls understand like new and Brand New are not the same !

        I would allow such guys who perform stunts to go ahead as its pretty dangerous to ride near them.

        The link which i sent you has item condition as New and i don't see anywhere the word like. Could you please check it out again?

        I have found another deal wherein few guys have made purchases: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261290928077...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
        This one costs ~360USD.

                    223 pounds from original dealer incl shipping

                    If the prices are similar ; go ahead .

                    I would still buy from UK dealer but would go for carbon finish

                      Carbon edition looks better than black. 223 pounds is good pricing. Could you please let me know how can i order? Do you know how much will be import duty?

                        Import duty Max is 28 %

                        For long life go for ordinary black

                        They provide service as well in case of manufacturing defect

                            Update: my wife wanted to go for a slow ride around town. I immediately agreed to do so , the fuel guage showed 2 boxes only so we decided to tank up with 97. We rode to t nagar filled up to the brim ( to my surprise only 6.5 ltires) the bars do not correspond to the fuel level, we rode through hard traffic , from the pump to beach road in heavy traffic , i found it rather easy , perhaps my butt felt uneasy for a moment but i got adjusted . With two of us weighing nearly 150 kg i found the braking little less as it very new. I had two youngsters asking hey bro how many cc, my wife was very pleased they didnt say uncle -) on beach road i touched 80 kmph for a second and came back to 50 kmph. The temperature was mostly 97-99 .but just once i saw the figure 103 but that was for just a second(maybe the fan came on). I feel the the levers could have looked better , it resembles my old RD 350 levers . Also i couldnt find the ideal tyre pressure label on the bike . Can someone tell me where it Is? Maybe i need a pic , its supposed to be near the tyre somewhere. FOR Djay http://www.gpr-motorcycle-exhausts.co.uk/

                              Thanks for the link doc.

                              Tyre pressure is mentioned in manual.
                              Front: 36
                              Rear: 42

                              For initial 50km, brakes may feel weak but keep pumping a little whenever you get some space on road.

                              I am planning to buy green-black adjustable levers after some time as I feel an adjustable clutch lever will be comfortable.

                              Also I feel fuel gauge sensor is on right side of tank. If you park bike for some time then fuel bars will come down
