Dropping in Sept? What does that mean?
Is it that they are stopping the sales of the '09 in Sept?

straight6 · 28th March 2009, 06:33

I was told September for the '09 R1 at the Bombay showroom as well. I don't think anyone would buy one during the rainy season and then be frustrated not being able to break in!

Here is the R1 Manson is talking about. And the GSXR1000 also belong to him.

Thanks Furiousspinx. Nice to see the chunni and the lemons on the R1. India has arrived truly on the sbk scene

Cool. Why isn't the owner posting about this? He was interested in some ZX-9 sometime back and now he suddenly has 2 bikes?!

Yes, that is the stock exhaust and its a K5. Similar to the one my friend had. Here is a video I made of the exhaust.

What I meant was, they are probably not launching it now because of the rainy season starting in June. So they must have decided to bring it when the rains are almost over. That way the frustration that builds up in those 3 months would be vented well

The gixxer belongs to his cousin, and he took delivery of the R1 a couple of days back.

I contradict I would love our daddy's boys to go and buy R1's in the rains and then ride them well in A mode have a minor crash and put the bike up for sale real cheap because daddy wants them to use only the accord now

hey S6 the video that you've put, is it of the same gixxer of which you had posted pics sometime back along with a black R1? That gixxer had a stock exhaust however!

Yeah, its the same bike. After the Hotbodies, my friend put a Laser Hotcam on it because this one was too loud and irritating. It was a good alternative to a horn though

Thats one classy bike.Hefty, but still looks agile.
