stonking roll ons. Would love to see 100kmph to 200kmph tho


Very practical bike. Sitting position is very upright.

Braking is the only downer. Bad braking results in sub par corner entry speeds but great low down torque enables high corner exit speeds.

Stock tires are Bridgestone Battlax. They offer great grip in straightline, leaned over and in wet.

The bike feels heavy at standstill and it feels heavy when moving. It weighs 210 kgs dry.

Wind blast is minimal at 200kmph and you would almost never have to crouch down on this bike.

Max torque is achieved at 7.5k rpm and thats when the pull is maximum.
Max HP is achieved at 8.5k rpm but that is hardly felt.

Perfect for touring...great for indian conditions... Japanese quality.. Kawasaki throttle response is something that will never let anyone down.

The inline twin parallel is tuned for blistering torque..dont expect horsepower from it else you will be disappointed.

All said and done...whoever wants to buy it..cannot buy it. Bookings are not gonna open till diwali and they will resume next year along with 2012 Ninja650R model.

^^^ +1000 ....Open & Shut style of reporting... No questions unanswered (Hopefully).... Kind of Executive Summary of a Bike review...

Hi,

Need to buy two things, can anyone please guide me from where i can get them.

1. Osram Night Breaker Plus 60/55W - headlight

Please rethink. People say that it is sheer waste of money. Not much improvement for the eye watering cost.

Considering the stock lighting on the ZMR is 35/35. The upgrade to 55/60 is worth it. Osram gives the best illumination but not necessarily the best value. Phillips extreme power is the other one you can try. Cheaper than Osram, almost as bright.

Sir, Its going to cost around 700-800 rs. the stock headlight of zmr is weak and particularly at highways at night its useless. What i want is better illumination and range. is there any other better option? please suggest.

Any suggestion for place where i can LS2 transparent visor?

Just read across a thread that phillips extreme power has white light which i dont like at all so was thinking of going for osram. please correct me if i am wrong.

Just one question arised out of vishwasji's ride plan, where vishwas clearly writes in every ride plan if someone is wearing a non bionic knee guards one should wear it inside the pants but all rides i have attended till date, i observed only tenhut wears non bionic knee guards inside the pants. Rest all including me wears it outside so i am wondering in case of any fall which can help you more. wearing non bionic knee guards outside the pants or inside the pants.

Some snaps from yesterdays G2G are uploaded in xbhp pune thread of facebook as here there are size limitations.

@everyone - Our Black ninja Boy JAKRAP aka Jayanth kishan has bid off good bye to his bachelorhood and got married

Thanks Shrinath Rao.. I too belong to the group which wears non bionic ones inside the pants. Dont know to what degree its really helpful but i believe that on the first impact the non-bionic ones can slide away from your knee. Wearing it inside reduces the chance of it slidding off..not to a great extent thou.

Congratulations jakrap.


cheers.

THanks Aniket.

Congrats JAKRAP!

Welcome back. Hope to see you on this ride. It has really been a long time.

If its white, then its pretty useless in rains. Stick with yellow.

But I suspect wearing it inside would imply harder to adjust it in case it slips

In that case i feel you feel more secured when you wear it inside. I tried both the ways and i felt wearing inside makes more sense.

Will try that! Do you wear it over your bare leg or do you wear some liner inside, over which you wear your pads and then your trousers? I have fox raptor pads with clip-ons as attachments - they shouldn't pinch my leg while riding

Osram is the Whiter one. PXP is the yellower one.
