Excellent article Robeeen. Must say, you have looked into almost everything.
One small doubt, when I was looking at a purchase of a 6R (no availability) in 2003 I had to settle on a brand new R6. The bike was brought in as a baggage as you call it, I was told that the RC book would have details saying that the bike is a TR dated back to the year 2000 but will have the same chassi and engine number of the bike that is being assembled. I wasn't quite sure if such RC books would put me into trouble, because back in those days the RTO nor the DRI were smart enough I guess. Though I went ahead and made the advance payment of 1,00,000. I saw the bike being assembled from almost scratch. Due to some astrological reasons
I was forced by my parents to not to buy the bike some 1 hr before the schedule of delivery. I don't know if it turned out to be for my own good or not.
However I would like to know the implications of such a RC book with reference to RTO/DRI/traffic cops etc? What sort of problems can one expect to get into? And if you are indeed caught by one of them how easy is it to work around the issue and get your bike back?

Completely agree with you on this one. Here is what lies in my parking lot as we speak
. Cant wait for her to get back into shape before we hand it to the rightful owner.
If I were to buy a bike in the future it will have to be either a Ducati or a 12R.
