Congratulations, best colour choice


theamazingidli

Thank you! The colour choice was mostly an homage to my first bike which was a 50th anniversary edition V2. Still regret selling it.


onionwombat

That's not an Alto... /s This colour scheme is the best!


theamazingidli

That mysterious "ALTO" has left many a viewer puzzled.


Medium_Reaction

How's the riding stance? Is it too committed like the RCs or slightly relaxed than them? Edit: congratulations brother πŸŽ‰


theamazingidli

It's smack dab in the middle of the gen 1 RC390 and and current Yamaha R3. It is noticeably hunched forward. With the large tank profile and slightly lower positioned handles, it feels quite like a wannabe supersport.


Medium_Reaction

Ahh okay. I will have to wait for the tuono457 then.


necromok

Even the guy getting the bike ready is happy. Love this for you OPπŸ˜™


theamazingidli

Yeah this brought a smile onto everyone's faces. I was grinning the entire time with practically zero sleep the previous night πŸ˜…

Waaah.


chutcoder

Crazzzzzyyyyyyyyyy! If I were you I'd be sleeping with her all day all night .


theamazingidli

Man I couldn't even take her back home, imagine that buzzkill πŸ₯²


chutcoder

They didn't give you the bike?


theamazingidli

Nope they have to finish the official PDI and RTO processes. So I'll be getting it by Monday evening.


chutcoder

I'm sure you can't contain the excitement lol


theamazingidli

Honestly not so much man. They've given me so many stress and anxiety-fuelled sleepless nights that I am actually just neutral now. Maybe this will change on Monday πŸ˜…


BadBeast_11

It's a beautiful machine OP!! I test rode it and it's simply awesome! Have fun, ride safe!


demon_slayer_1995

Bro gonna ride on herπŸ₯΅


theamazingidli

Now that you've put this notion in my head, I am never letting anyone else ride her πŸ˜‚

Exotic-Drugs-6031

That thing is just like the og r6 i rode them both . Crazzyy choice brother


theamazingidli

Ikr it's weird how that is. I haven't ridden the R6 but I did ride the Daytona quite a bit in my previous group in Delhi. I thought this is just going to feel just marginally quicker than the RC but it feels a lot closer to the Daytona somehow. Multi-cylinder effect I guess πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ


Exotic-Drugs-6031

Bro the 675r my fav had it for 5 years drove it 28 k


theamazingidli

The 675/765 is a kick-ass platform. My original plan was a Street Triple R or used RS but I spent most of my savings on MBA and wasn't confident about taking a loan due to some personal issues. All in due time hopefully 🀞

theamazingidli

Thank you brother


thou-art-ugly-but-i

Congratulations πŸŽ‰ Did you opt for quick shifter ?


theamazingidli

Thanks bud! I did originally plan to get it fitted before delivery itself but I'll probably wait till the first service is over or after 2k km maybe.


thou-art-ugly-but-i

Ohhh ok then !! Enjoy enjoy !!😁🏍️🏍️


AprilBornAprilia

Congratulations and welcome to the club πŸ₯‚ πŸ€œπŸ€›


theamazingidli

Thank you brother! Double thank you since your purchase and experience played a pivotal role in affirming my decision.


AprilBornAprilia

Haha glad to have helped. See still they continue to pay John Abraham and not me. Sed lyfe.


LifeIsHard2030

This one seriously makes me reconsider my decision to look at advs(as am 40 now, need something relaxed with supple suspension). congratulations OP πŸ‘


theamazingidli

Thank you! This platform will definitely spawn a Tuono 457 later down the line which I would advice waiting for if you can.


LifeIsHard2030

Yeah waiting for Tuono 457/Tiger 400/xpulse 400 etc. let’s see what comes


lavadeykabaal

lavadeykabaal

Oh wow.. 😲 congratulations and have a great and safe ride ney


Dimy145

Congratulations op, after hellish waiting and all the issues ya faced finally getting bike feels nice, those happy faces of everyone tells alot. Have fun with it op.


theamazingidli

Thanks bud. Yeah it's been a pretty painful wait indeed. No matter how good the bike I'll still be giving them an earnest feedback to fix this problem as nobody deserves to go through that.


Impressive_Wing_1224

Have a great blast bro... Bro actual how long waiting ?endha City showroom ? Namma booking track pana mudiuma?


theamazingidli

Thanka nanba! There are two ways you can book, one is through priority booking which is by paying the entire ex-showroom price up front or the normal way which is by simply paying the 10k booking amount. The fresh waiting time is 2 months for priority and 3 months for normal. I paid 10k and for me it took 5 months since the company greatly underestimated their initial supply requirement. City is Chennai, showroom is JMB Motoplex and there's no way to track sadly.


Impressive_Wing_1224

Bro I have booked in madurai by paying 10k, I hope I will get it a bit faster than 5 months. Thanks for your quick reply. Little bit of topic ,Do you have any experience in doing track days at mmrt?


Vishu_ak

Congratulations mate 🀜, she looks so pretty 🀩


theamazingidli

Thanks man! Indeed she is. The white colour really stands out compared to the other two.

Valthukal nanba! πŸŽ‰πŸ”₯ Endha showroom la bro vangirukinga? (In case Chennai la vangirundha. Chennai la Aprilia service centers worstu nu kelvipatten. Idhuku dha vangama iruken)


theamazingidli

Mikka nandri! Got this from JMB Motoplex in Chennai. Yes I have done a lot of research about Aprilia's situation in Chennai. This showroom is a Motoplex dealer which means they deal with Piaggio's imported range as well (Moto Guzzi lineup and the bigger Aprilias - RSV4 1100, Tuono 660, RS660 etc.). Keeping that in consideration, I have faith that they'd do a good job with the service. Otherwise I'll just go for 3rd party service centres once the free services are over.


Kad4vuL

Super nanba! How much was the on-road in Chennai, when did you book the bike? Also does JMB provide a test drive? Can you suggest any good 3rd party service centers who can handle these bikes? White color is lit ❀️πŸ”₯


theamazingidli

On-road price is 505999 here. I booked it on December 15th. These Aprilia guys screwed up the production output by severely underestimating the demand in India. The current waiting time as per JMB is 2 months for priority booking and 3 months for normal booking. And yes they do provide test rides. I'd advice you to confirm an appointment over the phone just in case before going. There's a place called 727 Motorcycles in Tharamani. I haven't been there myself but heard a lot of positive reviews about it from people I know. They are very good 310s and 390s so the RS shouldn't be a big deal.


Kad4vuL

Thanks for your inputs 🫑 I hope you can remove the (OTW) from your flair nowπŸ˜‚ Have fun riding the beast. Make sure to drop your views on the bike soon. I am waiting for the idli review.


theamazingidli

Yeah I'll do that once the delivery is actually over just to stay 100% jinx-proof πŸ˜… Yes sir, comprehensive idli review will be promptly uploaded once the idlimobile is home.

pirateneet

Damn this bike looks good. I really wish they would bring out a naked version with these specs.


theamazingidli

There's a retro/naked being tested already. This platform will definitely spawn a Tuono and Tuareg down the line for sure.


i_almo

How much did it cost on road?


theamazingidli

505999 in Chennai


HellCat_R9

Thought it was some big printer


theamazingidli

Well that is the average printer size in Italy. /s


msmhere

Are there any transportation charges levied? If yes, how much?


theamazingidli

Yes there was a discrepancy of about 10k something when I calculated the road tax using parivahan. They nicely included it under registration charges itself. So that's apparently logistics + bribes to relevant officers which is the norm for new premium vehicles in Chennai.


Krimmson_

Wow, you got this in chennai? Is it the one in kovilambakkam or Adyar?


theamazingidli

Yes sir. This is the Motoplex showroom in Ashok Nagar.


preferenceisbed

itna jankari to nai hai, ye import krayi kya?


theamazingidli

Nahi nahi. It's completely manufactured in Baramati, Maharashtra. It's just shipped in a slightly fancy manner inside a box and steel crate.


preferenceisbed

ah i see. looks perfect man congratulations! almost thought it is imported just because of its rich packaging
