Oh, I forgot to also express my opinion on the original subject of the thread for you learned Gentlemen.

Both Kawasaki 650R and Hyusong 650R are Euro-III compliant and can enter India after other homologation formalities are completed. There should be at least a gap of Rs. 1.4-1.5 lakh to justify Hyusong 650R in comparison of Kawasaki. Fazer800 (with 779 cc engine) can be a Yamaha answer to both of them.

Forget about R6 or CBR 600 RR. They don't meet the Indian requirements unless Govt. totally ignores domestic lobby and lowers the limit from 800 cc to 400 cc.

I need a bike upto 300 cc only. So, I am not the affected party. I am now off this thread.

@trustvishwas: You got issues buddy and on top of that you are not able to decode my line and i always thought that it was me who sucked at english

You can keep quoting what i said, but let me try once again to make it clear and rephrase myself:

FYI 650R can easily beat a R6 till 100m/hr and then off-course extra money pays off means ... 650R bahut aasani se R6 ko pachaad sakta hai 100m/hr aur uske baad offcourse R6 aage nikal jayega. R6 mehnga hai kyonki woh ek high performance race machine hai and a stock one tops at 170 m/hr. [Yahan maine kahin nahin bola ki mein R6 ke saath race track pe race lagata hoon. I haven't even seen a race track yet]

I should be crazy (which i am not) to claim that a 650R (parallel twin) is faster than R6 (4 in line) in straight line!!.' ... Even an idiot knows that, need i say anything

And not to forget in case of a R6 u have twist it a little more further ... R6 will reach the same speeds as 650R but at a higher RPM and thats what i meant .. My bad that i thought u would interpret that!

I get pissed off when people make comments without understanding what they are writing and then try to defend an undefensible position.
Exactly ... I tried going back in this discussion and trying to read again what you wrote about how many 650R/R6 you have raced but couldn't find it ?
BTW i dont give a crap about people with issues getting pissed, i more kinda like instigating them

I would agree if i had flipped, but i dint. And if i could bring my 650R to India, i would ride down to where ever you guys are and show you what i mean


.. he he

I know man, i try not if i don't know but this time since i had some experience so shared and what an experience ;p

Yup .. Its all good. We are all individuals and are bound to have difference of opinion

Guys, back off. I don't want a flame war. Please get back on topic.

Hypermotards are SBKs!!! roflmao


+100, I'll buy a hyosung without thinking thrice.

Run while you can .The germans are bound to get you soon. The Autobahn is in Germany! (There are some in swiss and Austria too)

Read CSD's posts carefully..He says 100mph and not 100kmph

Well mate..only thing I can say to you on this is..go through the thread again. You can understand who is the poor man in question (thats me).
That was my attempt on a self deprecating bit of humor.

And by the way get your facts right on what racism is in the first place.

The term "racial discrimination" (racism) shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.

If this may aid your understanding...THe Rich vs Poor has never been termed racism. It is called snobbism


We good mate. Infact, i never said anything against your opinion in the first place!. Infact would love to hear more about your experinec on the 650R in terms of the ride quality and maintenance issues.

Damn .. I thought probably i would finally have some decent number of posts in my name and you r telling to stop it

Just kidding, its all good. Nothing more from my side

And how i wish we had roads as good as autobahn in India .. !!

^^Thank you. Any more post on the R6 vs 650R will be deleted without any intimation.

OT - Thank you, Sir.

I Used the comet gt250 for 14000 kms I can say quality is not that bad,I never suffered any issues,I will love to grab a gt650r.

Sudipta, the main complaints found across the net on the GT650R is mainly on the build issues especially
1) Brakes
2) Brake Pads
3) Quality of the plastic
4) Parts falling off
But i bet they have been ironing out these issues over the last 3-4 years and 2010 bike is got good reviews thou they still need to match up to Kawi and suzuki.

Did you feel that any of these issues when you had your comet. I understand that you had a GT250 (so the quality of plastic might not apply). THanks

We did take two GT650Rs around Australoia and subjected them to ample torture for 23,000kms, none of the quality issues came up.

When can we expect an xbhp Official GT650 Review & test-ride?

A damn interested in this bike...

Right from the horses's mouth so to say.

based on BI report I think xbhp too should have a review on it if possible.

Sunny, Would you have a ride report on the same ( know am asking too much here) but if you have a link for the same would be very helpful
And was it post 2008 (2009/2010) models??

so how about a write up and review of the GT650R based on the Great Australian Roadtrip??

I'm sure it would be helpful for xBHP members who are all prepped to spend 4.5 lac on a bike.

It would also help with members not having to wait for reviews once the bike
is launched officially... sparing them from 90 to 150 day waiting periods.
