Re: Upgrade , but which one Brain VS Heart ?

I may be very very very very very wrong in your view as i am not looking for a top speed. I am not looking for racing. Wrong Call mate.Downgrade/upgrade is all you choice mate i just wish it make you happy & laughing out loud.If you have any ownership experience of Ninja 300/650 then kindly share it.And my opinion differ's here .....That doesn't mean bike's are meant to burn other's even with the cooling technology provided. Anyway origional question remains unanswered .....If one is thinking to buy it them 90% chances he already thought about expenses. BTW no service center here. All it going to be DIY & that's why i am more inclined towards Ninja as many time i heard them to best built & you also mentioned same at the end of post.....Different people different view/taste . No rule/definition of looker.....Different story at different places.....Yeah but it would be good to buy it & ride almost upto 8/9 months then park for 3/4 month rather than buy & park it & wait for summer to finish. Yeah FZ is good ridden it for good amount of time, but wanting to buy 300/650.....And what about 650R vs 300R , can you comment what may be i am missing by paying 1.7/1.8l more & what i may be missing by saving 1.7/1.8l ..... That is what i want advise of peoples on their ownership / riding experience of that bike not just words of mouth. So that i understand pro's cons & decide which one i would go for , so to do happy riding.....Not you but almost 99% people do it. But is reviews/ info came by google fully trustable? Isn't possibility to came across paid review. My way if have no solid info to share then don't mention it.Compare 2 different class ? Where did i ? It's my view mate & it is not same to your's. What! Never go by cc, you got it all wrong, i am just confused paying 4L for 300 CC then why not pay 1.7/1.8L more & get almost double/more in this case 650 CC. Is that wrong, what may be i am missing, what will came with this added money & CC or what i will loose by saving money ? that's why i posted this thread to get some solid owners view/experience & help. May be your defination of BIG is different than mine. So enjoy Laughing your a** (a***) offThat's the problem Friend has N250R, And Showroom is not providing testride. Bajaj link just shows coming soon for test rides. So as of some trusty source i decided to ask owners/experienced persons about sitting position, comfort, handling not top speed. What is R3? Is you mean RC390? One Duke is already in family.This is it monk. Spot on your reply seems to be more what i was looking. Thank youI want help to decide from owners experience which i am unable to gather from ownership thread & from own experience as no test ride of N650R & N300R provided. And any other options in the range, but instead it turn out to be thread with replies of top speed & all day long speed range.Acceleration some time good to have as backup so looking for it to.Thanks for sharing the experience , I won't be using to commute everyday as i have to give some run to other bikes to in a week. What i was looking is when you get something different then almost every person is staring at you while at signal / traffic / on road. I just want it to be move calmly without much effort & yes temperature. And on highway it must be capable to overtake/catch someone if needed as NH3 is good one.Can you please share experience of riding N650R & N300 if you have any, that would be very helpful. Can some owner do share there experience. Can someone please tag active owner here .

Re: Upgrade , but which one Brain VS Heart ?

I'm not one to say that a higher capacity is worth it. If it were I wouldn't be renting them over the weekend. Hyderabad has a lot of stop and go over the week end and they get hot. The super low did ... the Benelli 600 did and so did the Bonneville and the Daytona 675. This, I'm not shooting blanks.

As pointed out by The Monk .... yes they are a hoot to ride. Its not only the expense but also the pain of waiting for parts and this and that. There are SBK mechanics who will service them outside of the Dealerships as well ... but nevertheless ...

Since, you ask about the 600 segment and you want the faired models ... I would suggest that the N650 is your best bet. The CBR is a bit overpriced IMO. But if can put aside the faired models requirement ... try the Z800. Never has there been a better crowd grabber IMO and is loads of ridiculously silly fun when you are riding it. I was grinning like an idiot all the way. And you can get a test ride of that easy.

OT ... but jealousy is a real thing ... I can feel it

Re: Upgrade , but which one Brain VS Heart ?

I was talking about your comparison of ZMR with the Ninja 300.. I guess I quoted that particular post of yours.. There is no point giving you suggestion from my side.. As you don't seem to understand what I am saying..

Re: Upgrade , but which one Brain VS Heart ?

I don't want to initiate an OT, but I'd rather wish you luck on your endeavour to find the perfect bike. just one thing, if you compare Roman ruby and gooseberries because both are of same size and are round, you're bound to be corrected.

and Top speed was just a part of what I said. The whole previous sentence deals with what you have asked for. and no, I don't have an ownership exp. of the Ninjas. I have ridden both though. For ownership exp, we have a dedicated section, you can ask there.
according to me, the Ninja 300 is jolly good for our roads. Get one and as said, pimp it up with accessories, like an akra or a TBR muffler, etc.

: peace :

Re: Upgrade , but which one Brain VS Heart ?

paying 4L for 300cc is mad!

However you can get a N650 for less than 4L. 2014 model maybe. Don't be put off with the notion of it being a used bike.
The N650 is brilliant. So easy to ride and comfortable. You'll love it!

Re: Upgrade , but which one Brain VS Heart ?

I am an owner of neither. Between the two i would go for the N300. The N650 does absolutely nothing for me! But these are personal choices.

Sachin Nair's 650 ownership you should read. Another xBhpian who isn't very active on the forum, but who has a N650 and knows how to maintain it with minimal monies is @xenologic Though if you manage to get a reply out of him, i would be shocked

For the N300, just go through the ownership thread.

Oh did i not mention the best part. I only ride these bikes. I don't own them, thus don't spend a penny on maintaining/ repairing them

Re: Upgrade , but which one Brain VS Heart ?

That's why & that's how i typed, i am totally in confusion. What to get.



As of now no issue of budget, i initially thought of Monster ZX14R or ZX10R but practical part of brain said why to buy it when you can't even utilise it's 50% power?
So keeping in mind Performance, looks & Status Symbol thought for 650, so atleast i can utilise ~60/80% power of it.
Yes i would love to have that sound of inline four, but also want it to be looker so prefering fully faired.
No idea about G310R but hoping to be released around Diwali.



If budget is not a problem you can look at Versys 650 its a very good tourer and handles well in traffic. Costs 7.4L OTR Bangalore.
yes its a tall bike , will suit riders 5.10" above .

Re: Upgrade , but which one Brain VS Heart ?

I meant Yamaha R3. Though it wasn't there in your original list, but costs roughly 3.8 L OTR in KA (give or take 5k). Makes 42 hp.
All the best for whatever bike you go for!
