So thats what a official R1 will fetch when sold. That bodes well for guys like me, mebbe I can realistically think of buying a 2-3 year old R1 for around 6.5L.

Which part of Bombay are you from?

Cheers

8l is acutally a good rate, down south, rates go much higher and bikes with clean papers command a lot.

for general info: a 2006-2007 r1 without proper papers sell for atleast 7L here.

s6, just a small doubt, why didnt your friend place a ad in autocar india or some other good automobile magzine?

He wasn't that desperate to sell it. Just putting an ad on tbhp and xbhp was enough to get a lot of calls.

The guy who owns the bike now was sent a link of the ad on tbhp by his friend who's a member.

Indeed 8.5L (not 8L) is a good figure. Of course it helped that the guy who bought the bike is not married

and is 40.

As an aside how much would a 600 of similar vintage approximately cost, papers not withstanding?

He's going to get married soon but you want to know the best part? His office pays for fuel! He can use the R1 as his everyday ride if he wants

.

Are you looking for a '07-'08 600 whith jhol papers?

Talk about having your cake and eating it too

but considering the position that he holds it should not come across as such a big deal.

Am I looking for a SBK as of now, no not really. But in a couple of years (if all goes as per plan) then I would be. But still wanted to know the prevailing rates of a 600.

And since legit 600's are hard to come by, jhol bikes would also do.

So guys... Are we still talking about SuperBikes being spotted in India.. or have we changed the topic to Super Bike Deals, aftersales and blah blah blah....

Rotorhead · 8th July 2009, 10:36

spotted a spanking new MH registered orangle black hyabusa yesterday at bannerghetta road. Awsome street presence

Does anyone know if there are Bennelli motorcycles in India?haven't heard of anyone bringing these bikes in. Probably a handful of Moto Guzzis too.

Actually yes, we still are. And it would be pointless to open a new thread for the topic that was being discussed.

These photos of Suzuki Hayabusa & Honda CBR 1100XX Blackbird are send by Abhay, my young friend from Trissur. He said both these bikes are owned by two brohters from Trissur & they also have a Honda CB400!
