One of my colleague has a budget of 3.5 and he is looking for any 600cc bike (No single seater please) . Please let me know if you come across any.

There is nothing like a single seater (atleast for poroduction bikes), its usually a rear seat cowl that replaces the stepup seat to make the bike look sporty.
I will keep an eye out.

On these new bikes with LCD's, you just have to press one button to toggle between mph and kmh.

@straight6: Can you please PM me the details about the bike. So that I can ask my friend to take a look at it. Thanks.

I think this white busa used to be blue before. I remember a blue busa that had these exhausts in Bangalore.
