Hey! Hot babe you got out there

Which colors do you get this bike in other than Black and Green? I personally would prefer it in green but that color is getting common with this bike. Saw a group of Ninja owners at Thane the other night, 2 were green and 1 was black.

What is the top speed of the Ninja. What are the BHP & Torque figures How will it fare for regular city riding?

should hit a true 165 km/h thanks to 33 PS and 22 Nm of torque. as far as riding is concerned, read the previous posts mate.

Can you please comment on power delivery across RPMs? Do you notice any lag across any RPM zone? Just wanted to know how comfortable it is to drive in city traffic (-> Lots of down shifts?)

Sorry about the long list of questions! And, congrats on your Ninja!

correct me if i am wrong

Where are the photus?

Cool. Probably thats the reason cars in European countries have Daytime Running Lights..

She easily trundles about in 6th gear at 50-60 km/h. But to really go like u've been just released from a sling shot one does have to downshift. Other than that there is ample torque to ride in the higher gears without any problems around town.

Looks Hot in Black!!!!!! Just wish that the instrumentation was more modern

aniketi · 31st March 2010, 14:54

Congrats dude !!! Enjoy the ride with your bike.

I heard that once you start the engine, you have to wait for some time. RPM has to set it around 1500. Is it true? If it is the case then its really irritating one

That would only happen if its a cold start. If the engine is already warm, it will settle down straight away.

hey bp congrats on your acquisition mate. I know am late , nevertheless a brilliant looking bike you've got there at your disposal.
I have seen a green one , however it never fascinated me. Methinks the black one looks killer. Please ride safe.

Going little off topic here ... But heard that Bajaj & TVS also coming up with 250 cc bikes. Bajaj's bike will be around 27-30 BHP. Must be cool. I am waiting for that to come. I cant afford 3+ lacs bike now like Ninja. Bajaj will be selling it around 1.25 Lacs. I am eagerly waiting for that. Find more details on :
