86k is a OTR price or Ex showroom?

'Manek' of chennai booked it about a month back.

Booked for 86K? he paid that amount to book the bike?

wanderlustindia · 12th May 2008, 11:46

I don't think he meant the complete 86k amount. 86k was the quoted amount and he must have paid something like 10-20k for the booking amount.

jus checked the video out on youtube, there was a link to a startup video of the bike and on the dial the redline was at 11000 rpm, so is a 20 bhp punch expected from tht engine finally?

Are you talking about the R15 or the Ninja?

I reckon its the R1-5. The Ninja would be a more potent bike. 250 cc, parallel or V-twin, 30 BHP is what I think it should look like.

rikin_sampat · 13th May 2008, 10:48

im talking about the r-15, will be gettin my license in august so i will finally be able to ride, need to get a hang of it though, i was thinking about the r-15 since i read the review on some foreign site that people have been calling it a "sportsbike learner" bike, anyone would like to shed some light on that?. my dad plans to buy a cbr 600 in jan next year too
