It is quite easy to ride in city traffic. I wish the handle bars weren't placed low & forward. None-the-less,its good.

Congrats Nitin, you've got a gem of a bike. Looks great. I am sure you will be adding a lot of miles with a smiley face while riding it.

Take care, and ride safe.

Thanks for all your help!

Thanks,srijit. True,I couldn't have imagined getting myself a bike,had not been for my wife. A bunch of my friends here want to get bikes,but the Home Ministry denied approval!

srijit · 24th April 2008, 10:51

Ah, the infamous Home Ministry. Unfortunately, there is no higher court of appeal, either.

Nitin · 24th April 2008, 20:44

The Home Ministry actually takes over the functions of the Supreme court,at times like these. For the decision to be made,it'll be the Lady Judge at the end of the day!

Damn, how did I miss this thread. Must have been traveling. This is just the kind of bike I had in mind. I am looking at the naked version

And this is the reason why. The naked one has forward pegs and higher bars.

Bandit is an inline 4 where as the 650 is a twin. Naked version is called SV650 without the S.

Sold my bike today.Call it family issues, call it what ever you want.
I just couldn't take it, that my bike would sit at weeks at end without being taken out.Lovely Houston weather!!

A lady biker bought the SV today,and I can't express how empty the garage feels now. I was always used to the yellow bike between the Lancer & the 3,but now all I see is the garage floor.

Well,life as to move on. With a 3 month old daughter,this was bound to happen.

Gotta say this- ONCE A BIKER, ALWAYS A BIKER!!..

I'll have a bike in my garage pretty soon!.

A few pics before I let the bike go.
