1.What got you hooked on to biking?
:-) Was the only real form of personal transport available.
2.When did you first throw a leg over the saddle?
Which bike was it? 1987. Honda CB125 twin, electric start, mag wheels. Small bike with big bike styling. The second one was the Suzuki RGF 250 Gamma, a real crochet rocket. Very very quick.
3.Describe the how it felt during the first ride. It was awesome.
The wind.. The freedom.. And the empty roads of Delhi in those days.. That was the life!
4.What made you choose the Ninja 650R?
Wanted a Sports Tourer and a bike I could use everyday. Easy riding stance.
5.Was it a product of long-time research or love at first sight?
Some research, since basically it met my requirements.
6.Did you consider any other bike?
Actually wanted an inline 4 600cc, but nothing good was available. 2nd hand unless the owner is known, was not a good option.
7.What is the best feature of the Ninja?
Riding stance and linear power delivery.
8.Which aspect do you feel could be improved?
Brakes and the sound? :-)
9.What all modifications have you done?
Mostly cosmetic. Luimoto Seat, Harris grips, bar ends, rear spools, Top-Block Crash Pad, radiator guard, fender extender, rear hugger, Puig racing screen, Puig tidy tail, Ninja Wheel rim decals. On the engine side Leo Vince GP exhaust and in some time Power Commander 5 and Auto tune.
10.What questions and doubts does the general public have when they you and the bike?
Kitne ki hai? And Kitna deti hai? The second most asked question is about the Top Speed.
11.What are your responses?
Try not to answer :-) the first one. The other two are not a problem.
12.Who maintaians the bike?
Me myself and the workshop at the moment. Once out of warranty will do the whole thing myself.
13.Have you faced any technical/electrical issue so far?
Nope. All Ok.
14.Narrate a memorable experience on the road.
I was stopped at a red light and a guy in the car next to me wanted me to do a burn out
15.And a not so memorable experience.
A guy was egging me to race him and I was not interested. When we stopped at a red light some distance away, he is telling his friend " This guy doesn't know how to ride. Looks like he has is just learning." :-)
16.Which Fuel and oil do you use?
Regular Fuel. Synthetic Oil 20W40
17.Are you looking to upgrade anytime soon?
Will definitely buy an Inline Four
18.Tell us a little about your riding gear.
AlpineStar Street Boots, Fox racing gloves, Komine Jacket, Airoh GP Helmet
19.What is the top speed you have touched?
220 Kmph
20.What is your advice to young enthusiasts who dream of stepping into the world of super biking?
Respect the power that these machines have. Look after your machine, like you would a baby. They can be very unforgiving if you don't take care of the basics on a daily basis. Learn safe driving and always drive with good quality protective gear.
