Congratulations... she looks stunning... ride safe :thumbs up

Once again a big Congo Sammyboy!!!

There is something in a ride which makes it so special compared to driving and only true blue riders like you and some of the gang here a true testimony to it.

Wish you many many miles of pure riding pleasure :thumbs up. A great step in restoring the city's lost colour lol!

Wow - your dream has finally come true !!clap:

Congrats, wishing you many many happy miles to come !

This calls for a short mini- meet one of the evenings !

Congratulations Sammy. She looks very stunning. Do keep writing about your ownership experiences and happy clocking miles on the Kwaker

And it has happened! :D

I knew exactly why you'd gone off the radar for the rest of the day after your replies in the Ninja thread! And I wouldn't be surprised if you go awfully silent for a few days in a row, now that you've acquired one of the best sports-bikes known to mankind!

Samarth, needless to say, she looks wonderful! And she looks even better, now that she's in your hands! Hearty congratulations, bro! We need to celebrate by meeting up!

Let's call for a Ninjas + Santro + Swift + Getz meet soon! :D

Samarth, congrats! i was surprised to see this thread, since i wasnt following this section much.

When do i get to see it? And, would you be retaining the Apache as well?

Congratulations on acquiring your dream Sammyboy.. enjoy your ride!!

Thanks a lot Harry. Aditya does have a big fan following amongst Ninja owners .

When I called my dad to tell him he remembered the poster and the bike very well as I used to keep pestering him to get it for me whenever it got launched.
Hope your dreams come true too bro.

Lol, thanks a lot Manish. The running in on the Ninja will be faster, much much faster . The Apache is at 2222.7kms :)

Thanks a lot Abhay, i will be really happy to see you get the bike of your dreams whichever it may be.

Et tu Techno ? :D


Thanks a lot bro, it really feels awesome having done what I always wanted to do.

Ah, the elusive Mr. Iyer. Thanks a ton bro, will surely catch up once you are here.

Thanks a lot aargee. I did get a pair of kneepads, gloves and a new helmet and posted the pics in the gear thread. Will get the pants in the next stage I guess. Cant afford anything else this month and for a lot of months to come.

Congrats again Sammy. Wishing you many years of happy riding. clap:

Where's the new lid bro?

+1.

I agree. Long time since i had those chicken rolls. :)

Heartiest congratulations Sammy. You have waited a real long time to get the bike of your dreams. I hope this spurs others (including me) to not get disheartened soon.

Cheers and have a wonderful riding and owner ship experience.

Enjoy the beast.

One day :D One day! I too will post this, that I bought one!

Congrats Sammy, I feel you, many years ago...at half of the age what I am now Bajaj announced it was going to release the 250zzr. Boy were we kids pumped then, after all those painful years it was finally released in India, funny back then I did not have the $ to buy this bike, now when I have the $ I am still contemplating. :Frustrati

It was nice to see a mention about your wife, if your wife is the approver, nothing will stop us from buying such exotics. Your 17years wait has finally ended. Looking forward to a few pictures and a good report. Ride safe...

Thanks a lot //M. I completely agree, I just cant find words to express what I feel when I ride the Ninja.

Thanks a lot Condor, yeah they have really made us wait and how.
Only a motorhead could have quoted that song for this occasion :D .
Is so true now.

Thanks a lot R2D2. Tell you what, just take her to the showroom and let her see the bike for a while. Then take her along on the short TD as well, it will work wonders. All the best man, hope to see another Ninja join us soon.

Thanks a lot Aditya. God knows its tough to keep ambling at 40-60 kmph when everyone on puny TVS50s zips around you and gives you looks saying, "what a nerd, cant even ride" . But the Ninja does test self control to a great extent, and this from a guy who has only done 30 kms on it , lol, Only 770 kms to go for the first phase of run in.

Thanks a lot TheCelestial, it really is an attention magnet. I got to meet neighbors I have hardly spoken to, within the first 5 minutes of reaching the apartment.

Thanks Sheel. Completing the run in is the first priority.
The Menace stays with me man, cant go grocery shopping on the Ninja now, can we? :-))

Thanks a lot PatienceWins. I am not too tall, just 5'8" but the Ninja is perfect for my height. Both my feet touch the ground comfortably and the riding position isnt very agressive. The seat does feel comfortable, though only a long ride will show its true effect on my backside.

Thanks a lot Ravi. She's really eye candy, for sure.

Thank you so much JVH. You are so right about the riding and driving thing.

Robert Pirsig mentions the same thing in the "Zen and the Art of motorcycle maintenance" when he says that " When you are in a car you get to see everything around you, but you do not get to feel it or smell it. It is as if you are looking at it through a picture frame. The motorcycle on the other hand you get to feel, see, touch, and hear everything around you. Every bump in the road you feel, every cold breeze you feel"

Doesnt mean I love the car any less, Its just different.
Thanks a lot Nirmal. Meets on for sure.

Thanks rrahul. Sure thing, I will keep the log updated and the meter moving. :-)

lolzzzz, thanks a lot bro. Yeah man, I just cant get my eyes and hands off it. Its so awesome, And its in my drawing room. Will post pics :D

Meets On man, we should plan one soon.

Heyy Ben, thanks a lot man. Been ages since I saw you, lets catch up sometime at the same place as last time and I will get the Ninja.

The Apache stays man, shopping cart ;-))

Thank you so much for the wishes Maverick.

Thanks a lot man, you have been the "tipping point" for this plunge. :D
Took the new lid out in the evening as I wasnt sure how it would feel, especially on the new bike.

Thanks a lot Hiren. Dont worry about it man, I am sure your dream will come true too.

Thanks a lot jk, look forward to your post soon :-D

Thanks downsouth. Yeah, its been a real long wait but I guess having launched it while we can still ride a bike, Bajaj has redeemed itself.
Take a test ride man, that will really help you make a decision. You cant just forget all those years and dreams. All the best man.
