goin for brand new cbr 600rr red/black 05 hey guys,
This is Nikki, i'm a banglorean, currently in US, but i'll be comin to blore this may end, i currently own a pulsar 180, and ikon 1.6 nxt back home, but i'm planning to get a sportsbike.
i thought of getting a bike from here, i had even been to a showroom here which got me very confused as to which bike to buy, but then i decided i would go for a brand new cbr 600rr 05 red/black, now the thing is how do i get it. I figured out there are two ways,
1) buy a new one here and get it shipped
2) get one in india from an importer
difficulties
case 1:
to get a bike from here, it would cost 9000$ for the bike, 1000$ shipping, customs minimum 2lakhs.. so it comes to around 7 lakhs.
But things to know and do. the dealer says he won't ship international, I gotta take delivery paying all the road tax and registration and insurance all those stuff and they don't even give the crate.
then i have to take care of it in person to ship it thru other ocean cargo providers, which again is a problem as to which, i heard there is this UTS worldwide service which i heard is good, but idk.
then i don't know if i'll be liable for any export duties to US, which i don't think there will be any. lastly i want to ship the bike to bangalore, but we don't have any port there. so i don't know how it gets there.. i also had the idea of getting a bike shipped directly from japan but coudln't get the right contact and don't know much 'bout it.
Case 2:
if i have to buy one in india, i don't know if there are any good reliable agents or importers in bangalore, and i would be needing it immediately on my arrival in a week. and i don't know if i can get a new one from the crate that early. then, i don't know if those bikes are good ones and not assembled in india. i dont' have the contacts. i don't care if i'll be paying like 50K or 1 lakh more but i would prefer no hassles..
so, this is the case,
