Thanks Shamik da! Its not my helmet, just wore it just for the photo :p .

And I have been using a pair of MX-3 gloves from Cramster since last few years now, and I was not about to ride when this shot was taken :)

Thanks!

Rajiv Bhai, you do the financing for me, I will book it tomorrow :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Jokes apart... will be booking RC390 in Feb beginning as I along with my brother in law and friends are planning for Leh trip. Will keep you updated on WhatsApp :)


Cheers!

Hi Amit, Did you booked the bike as you were intending too. Just suggestion based on your intention to take it to ladakh, the bike is certainly capable to reach there but if you plan to take the bike from Manali route then the smaller petrol tank will be a issue as in a full tank with reserve to reserve on 390 you may get 200-230km max.

Hello Dipankar,

Yes, I booked the RC390 as desired and the bike is ready for delivery as well. But due to unavoidable expenses, I've delayed the delivery until March'2015. I've no idea on mileage etc. so cannot comment on the questions you asked, but extra gallon on fuel is always handy.

Cheers!

Its just been 15 days :)

Still, the answers are as follows:

1. FUN - It is fun but I guess, would be much better once I am done with the 1st service. The bike is unexpectedly smooth as well.
2. Pleasure - Not so in bumper-to-bumper traffic but a pleeeeeeeeeasure to ride on open stretches.
3. Ownership - I think, will have to wait for some more time for that.
4. Attention - At times, too much of it!!

Ready for delivery!!!! Kya keh rahe ho bhai...??
Ghus uss dia hai kya showroom waalon ko, saalon ne mujhe to 2 mahine se upar wait karwaya!!
 
Just a quick update.
Did an ~800 kms run (Bangalore - Mangalore - Madikere - Bangalore) on my RC 200 and I must say I have NOTHING to complaint about the bike except for the tiny tank.

The bike is very stable and planted and gives a lot of confidence to the rider. The only place where it MISERABLY fails is on gravel/kuccha roads. It skids really really bad even at slower speeds.
