The smallest monster (696) is 10.69

BTW: From what I read in some business mag... Ducati is building a factory near Pune, over the next 3-4 years. They will start making parts and also assembling CDK's there...... Let's see how the Japs react to that move.

The showroom in Mumbai was set to open Oct-Nov, Don't know if the other one in Delhi has opened?

Have a look at this PDF. It is authored by Ashish Chordia (I think he is CEO of Precision Motors)

Ducati Price India.pdf

And guys, 1098 has 2 models. The 1098S, and the special components equipped & costlier 1098R...
The prime reason for 1098R's production is homologation of the bike, for racing in SBk Championship. It's more powerful, by almost 20 PS. It's a 1200cc motor.

And secondly, about CKD Market news, I would love to know the source of information, just like nitrosatya. Because, the only CKD import I can remind myself is Ninja 250, and no other japs' bike.

Sorry man.. you'll have to get in touch with some of the SBK mechanics for this. I'm sure they'll have a solution. Either way, if there's an HISS installed, even they will have to do the same programming thing. There is no workaround for this AFAIK.

Do your google once again and know the real difference ! S and R are worlds apart ! Dont post wrong info ! And 1098r was homologated for 2008 ! Now they race with the 1198 !

The 1098 R in fact has a bored out 1198 engine. It is in a higher state of tune than your normal 1198 current engine as well so produces more power along with getting after market traction control, set of race pipes, etc etc

As for losing the keys. Most bikes these days come with a master key . if you lose that key then you need to order another ECU or you cant programme normal blank keys.

So if you lose the key for a 954 which has it, then you need to buy a key from Honda which has a chip embedded in it, blank and ready to program itself to the system.

This programming is a simple 2 min job (at least on the R1). Not sure about the 954, but I'm sure it's similarly quick.

Had recent problem with 600RR which has the HISS. Owner lost his one and only key. Replacing direct from Honda is EXPENSIVE. Quickest option was to replace with ECU with new ECU which had HISS disabled. We then had a key cut to fit the barrel. HISS is now disabled but the alarm light continues to flash giving impression that HISS is still enabled. A quick, cheap and effective solution.

If I remember I paid 250 pounds sterling plus import tax. I can send you the contact details on Monday once I am bnack in office. If you have NO key this isthe most effective solution.
