pulsarmaniac · 23rd January 2009, 18:13

thats a very good news guys. certainly not in my reach right now too, but who knows, maybe a few years from now...

Fountainheader · 23rd January 2009, 18:23

Great news. Though I wonder how much less than the R1.

wanderlustindia · 23rd January 2009, 20:35

Like the R1 and MT-01, these two would be bang in the million rupee territory, the CB1000R slightly less perhaps.

?ushk@r · 23rd January 2009, 20:38

great news there.. any news regarding the on road prices???

Just a humble perspective here.

Owing an imported bike in India is a genuine nightmare. Not from a maintenance angle, but from all the attention it gets EVERYWHERE. I used to ride my BMW to work, but I very quickly got sick of people staring, touching (not taught as kids I guess), sitting on it, pressing buttons and asking how much it costs even while I am standing right next to it.

Quickly gets old. One reason I parked it and bought a Karizma.

Alright, the '09 Fireblade is being launched in Delhi somewhere between the 25th and 27th of this month after which they will have a soft launch in the first week of March in Bombay. Bookings start after the Delhi launch and the bikes will be delivered in March.

Bluu: THAT, sir, is heart-warming news. Having owned and ridden a Blade, it's become a religion for me.
There'll always be Rasterfarian R1s. Hottie Hayabusas. Envious-green Kwackers. But the Blade remains cutting edge :-)

Thats sounds like its bang on target with the R1/MT01,right?

straight6 · 28th February 2009, 03:06

The CB 1000 is priced well. Its the cheapest SBK you can get on the road here now. The CBR is too much. You can get a Busa for that much.
