6.25 lakhs booking amount! At least better than Ducati who want full payment before your bike even arrives in the country.

Um, can you say “cross-plane?” Any streetbike that sounds like a MotoGP machine is bound to clean house when it comes to coolness. The R1’s intoxicating exhaust note is rivaled only by a raspy Triple from Triumph for sheer happy-happy-joy-joy fun; the other three don’t come close here.
Kevin clues us in to why the R1 is easy to gravitate toward: “It’s one of the few engines that makes me want to rev it up just to hear its distinct growl.”
Factor in GP tech spinning up the rear tire with confidence, throw in the mode switch that alters the rate of throttle opening but doesn’t cut power, and the R1 is the Burger Barn champ.

just think.. whats missing in above ratings....???
???
???
the indian context. here you go..
5. zma - 5%
6. r-15 8%
7. fz-16-9%
8. rd 350-9%
and lastly, a maruti wagon -r.... -12%... ooops.. i missed the decimal point between 1 and 2

my honda 954rr was cleared and released by the D.R.I, through a release order they posted to my address. I had to go to their office at the cgo complex only twice, no harassment as my bike was customs auctioned and all papers were in order, although they took their own sweet time.

@Anshul,

Do you mind educating us about the DRI problem? I am sure lot of our bro's are in trouble and the DRI tends to scare them off!!!
My cousin is one such fella who is trapped in this problem for importing a liter class SBK in 2007. So far he has been through the following things:

1. DRI confiscated his bike and was lying in the police station for 7 days.
2. He had to pay a bank guarantee of 1 lac and get it out of there
3. He had to pay some taxes to RTO since the registration got cancelled

Now he is waiting for DRI to send him a show-cause notice post which he plan to submit his bike to them and pay the duty (6.30 Lac) + bank guarantee (2.70 Lac). He is hoping that after paying this amount he will have no further trouble and get back his bike with all legal documents.

Can you please tell me whether he is missing out on something here? Thanks man!

@ashtorque, as I had mentioned, my bike is customs auctioned and all the papers were in order, mainly the customs sales reciept, I didn't have to go through any paperwork nor were there any dues so no experience in that regard. As far as your friend's bike is concerned, any duty that he may have paid will be deducted. 15% dealer discount should be deducted from the msrp of the bike and duties will be calculated on the landed cost in India, +penalties + interest. It all depends on the officer in charge. the people in dri were more interested in knowing the dealer I may have bought the bike from. best of luck!

Hi guys...
When does these auctions take place by the DRI ?
And what are necessary things we require to make a purchase in the auctions ?
And kindly mention other all details , which the Xbhp'ians come across,
whichever you think is mandatory...
Thanks..
