That busa is not there now. I would advice you not to go through a dealer at any cost, they create so many hassles. I bought a CBR1000RR & had experienced all cheats.Try getting bike from an indivisual/owner. I am in Pune. Call me at 9823926048 if need any help. Dont go for busa if you wish to ride in city, very bad riding style, a supersports is far better.

I apologize for the late reply. I had started a thread on how one of my friend's cbr600 was stolen, and in that threat, a lot of grey market issues were discussed.

I am doubtful of the point you mentioned.."however, the above mentioned model was not found." what does this mean? You mean to say that the bike color/graphics does not belong to the year model of the bike? Its good to check this first.

Nowadays, even the custom papers are forged so that the grey market dealers can easily sell it off to unsuspecting young men. I would advise you not to go for this bike.

the legal hayabusas got sold in India from 2009 from dealers. if you look for a used one, a legal indian invoice bike, you can expect to pay the same price of 7 to 8.5 lakhs, depending on condition.

good luck.

if thats the cse i would seriously recommend you to delay the buying by at least an year or 6 months as at that time you will be able to get 2008 indian invoiced busa for a lesser price and at the same time your cash in hand will also increase by around 1.5-2 lakhs...

yes.. even i was looking for indian invoice, but its hard to find. pls let me know if u come across any.
my budget is 6 max over n above i have to go for loan. so 8.5 is max over n above its very expensive.
i even dont mind getting 03-04 busa with all documents.. but didnt find any..
so thats where i am, searching for a busa/1000RR for 4 months ... with cash in hand..

hi ashok,

a lot of the ilegal importers during the 2007-08 period did the same thing. they used to undervalue the vehicle and then pay the duty accordingly.... so i will still say that as per the rules of the governement of india if the bike was a new import and full duty i.e. 110% hasnt been paid it is illegal.

however the bike when imported to india was a used bike which was imported under transfer of residence and the bike has been undervalued by the import officials themseleves taking into account the depreciated value of the bike then its a different case.

but i am not able to understand one thing. you are ready to pay 8.5 lakhs for a bike which is around 4 years old and might be an illegal import when at the same time you can get a 2009-2010 model at a price of around 10 lakhs....
if i were you i would take a personal loan of the rest of the 1.5 lakh rupees and go for an indian invoiced bike instead of an import.

hi ashok,

check how much is the duty paid in the duty paid receipt. as in 2008 there was a 110% duty on CBUs. so the total duty paid should be equal to somewhere around 7-8 lakhs.

now as you are saying that the parts came in separatley to save the duty i somehow doubt that the bike will have full duty paid. and anything less than a full duty paid bike is illegal. and you can check with two offices for the bike first is the KA01 RTO and the other you can contact the DRI itself to see if they have have any records of the bike.
