However Is there anyone who knows a way to get the list of bikes homologated in our country already!!??

Little elaborate answer;
No individual can get a motorcycle/car homologated from ARAI. However if the same needs to be imported, then they need to approach the Director General of Foriegn Trade (DGFT) to pay the import duties, certfication & necessary doco works. If the category does not fall under DGFT, then one needs to approach Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR) to get the import duties paid, certification & doco works including safety & emission standards.

Hope this was of little helpful.

That was some great info. Thanks Technocrat and aargee..

I think the reason they had it as 800 is to allow HD imports(which are more than 800) to our country based on some agreement on US trading front!!

Well, I don't think so because, this homologation & 800CC limits were introduced much before HD could even begin their talks with Indian Govt.

Found this piece of info.

"So when financially struggling Harley Davidson pleaded with India to relax its strict emission norms and lower import duties for entering the country, India struck back by demanding the lifting of the U.S. mango ban as a quid pro quo.

After a year of bickering, India agreed to change its emission rules to allow sales of motorbikes with engine capacities of over 800cc that meet Euro-III emission norms, but did not lower the import duty. The United States also agreed to import mangoes from India, provided they went through the World Health Organization-approved irradiation process and stringent packaging norms."
