Actually a very good offer. If sold in the market after one year can a seller expect better than say 30% off the on road price. The offer is even better for 2016 and 2017 models as 2 and 3 yr old models would have greater depreciation than just 10% more per year.

I sold my Z900 within a year .. and i got much lesser than the 30% depreciation hit. Same case with a few others i know selling their bikes in 2-3 years. In my view - this make sense for only those who are desperate to get rid of their bikes.

Yes got these pics over various WAGs. The showroom looks like Kawasaki Pune.

The V1000 looks a tad disproportionate to me. The wheels look puny compared to the overall size of the motorcycle.

Had seen the bike outside Kawasaki showroom at Langford road on the 25th of last month but wasn't sure when it was getting launched.

+1

Saw a delivery ready bike in white today at the same dealer. Those wheels look petty in comparison to that enormous body.

Yes and there is apparently another delivery scheduled over the weekend from Kawasaki Pune. The Pune dealer has two more V1000s in their inventory as of now.

Dang! Was the Saree Guard design a comeback to the 650 owners who mocked their saree guards calling them 'Barbecue Grills', cause this one suits the title perfectly.

Vulcan's saree guard is better suited in terms of easy adaptability for barbecue, this one is oddly shaped for a barbecue grill.
I really wonder if any female has worn a saree while sitting pillion on any of these superbikes, easily an idea for a viral meme/short video. Damn those regulations and blind-folded execution.

Versys 1000 ex-showroom price has been raised to 10.89 lakhs ex-showroom now.

Take a look at the Ninja 1000 saree guard. There is an artist at work for designing these grills for Kawasaki.

Is the versys 1000 still being sold? I saw one or two at anzen Mumbai. But when I checked their website in view of their offer now, there's no mention of the versys 1000. No response from anzen to phone calls either.
Considering the lack of popularity of the versys 1000, will it be a good buy now (despite the offer which I guess will be commensurate to that on the N1000)?

No. Not a good time to purchase now. For different reasons -

The BS6 version of the motor seems to be very sensitive to fuel requirements. You need to run with high octane fuel or octane boosters added - like most performance superbikes.

Defeats the purpose of having a Versys - if you are not able to munch highway miles with peace.

Just got off discussions with anzen over the v650. He's offering 1.1L cash discount and two year free service package (as per him totaling to 1.34 off). My reqts- a big comfy bike nimble in City traffic. Will probably never ever take it off-road, (ok, may be once to leh). The "on road" totals to 6.96. Anyone thinks the dealer can be pushed for more?

big comfy bike and nimble in traffic are oxymorons.

Even though you will never go off-road, my recommendation is the vstrom because it is far more rideable in a variety of situations you will ever throw at it.

Don’t get caught up with the discounts...evaluate both bikes.
