Customer serivice by Ronit motors,Mumbai was good.The delivery of the bike was done on time.Even the 1st servicing of the bike was done well by the service centre Quote:

Congrats Melroy! |
Yeah,it sure does look good.You will actually mistake it for a litre class bike. Quote:

Yeah bro it does look more sportier when compared. Quote:

Also, throw some light on the gear you've invested on to ride the beast.
Happy and safe motoring. |
Ownership experience till now has been good.I have already done the 1st service and bike feels much better to ride. Quote:

Side view rocks.
Front view,mmm I am not too sure,would have loved a meaner sharper looking headlight unit,little more pointed and just a little lower front cowl.
Then it would have given those ' I mean buisns ' kind of looks.
Any way take it to a track if and when you can, and ride like a 'dog on rabies'
That would tell you what you have paid for. |
Glad you liked the bike. Quote:

There is news that Garware motors will launch Hyosung 250cc bikes here next year. Quote:

Would love to see some good pics of the bike.
@esteem_lover,
I read in some other forum that they are indeed planning to get 250 also. Don't remember which forum. |
Thanks rk Quote:

Are they technically competent?
For everybody here, it would also help if you can pen down the service and maintenance schedules and reports of your bike however trivial it may be.
All the best and wish you many miles of riding pleasure
Its in the pipeline but not until next year. Besides, they need to first get the dealerships rolling and then think of launching other bikes in their stable |
Yes there are vibes present at 7,000rpm and higher.But most of the power delivery is available around 5,000 to 6,000rpm without necessary having to rev it very high.
Yeah bro they are technically competent. Quote:

I have been meaning to check this baby out to draw an unbiased comaprison between this and the the famed Ninja, but have just been off motorcycles, or even anything automobile for the last couple of months.
Melror, I would be closely watching your thread and am particularly interested to know if you booked your steed before or after the launch of the Ninja. |
When I had booked the GT in the month of April.I was fully aware of the N650R arrival in the coming months.I did a bit of research on the internet,I was not too happy with the styling and the sound of the engine. Quote:

This thread will be closely tracked by many on board along with Bike/Speed Freaks thread on the Ninja 650 to understand what comes closest to what they are looking for from their next ride. Both are great bikes and offered at a beautiful price band, but again two different machines built for different people.
Keep writing and please keep the thread garnished with loads of pics of this Lady in Red.
Ride Safe & Enjoy!!! |
Thanks bro.I have already done the first service.It costed Rs 2,150 which included engine oil change and replacement of oil filter. |
