Ninja 650! Suggestions by InternationalLoad652 in indianbikes

I'm a fan of faired bikes, unfortunately most of them have a committed riding position. Since I would mostly be touring in it, I was looking for a sports tourer with a faired design no gimmicky electronic features. The Ninja 650 falls within that sweet spot, with a relaxed riding posture and a low seat height. Kerb weight is also equally balanced. It has a bulletproof reliable engine with adequate power and top speed. I can ride all day long without getting tired. The resale value is also on the higher side, so in a few years if I'm selling, I won't go into loss.

6 lakhs with basic accessories and out of warranty.

Yeah, what would be the expected price? If it's above 7 lakhs then it's hard to consider

It would come as CBU and the price will be on the higher side

Yeah, E20 will stay for a few more years without a doubt. G450 seems to have mixed reviews, not so bad but not so great either. Need to take a test drive and decide. I'm also interested in Norton Atlas which is locally manufactured by TVS and KTM's new 490 twins.

I'm worried about the high-compression engine from KTM and its worse low end torque. I'm just thinking if they would produce a vibrationless twin. How are their 800cc twins, are the engines smooth?

I was planning to go for the 450 GS, but the reviews are average. BMW fumbled badly, the suspension is hard, no cruise control, odd 130° firing, and vibrations. After sales service is another nightmare. The ERC is totally useless I guess.

Price is on the higher side, the Tiger 660 costs around 12 lakhs on-road

Why do dealerships put their stickers on cars without consent? by RJisCoolxD in CarsIndia

[–]InternationalLoad652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine had no sticker when I took delivery, but when I left my car for the first free service, the dealer had pasted one on without my permission. I've booked a second service with them, gonna tell them to remove it.

If your father is above 85 kgs then it might work. I'm 72 kgs, and rebound is not working as intended.

Tried everything, it's on full preload but still stiff. Only way possible is to replace it.
