Wish you all the best with the brave move you've made, if it all works out according to plan you've made the right choice for yourself. BTW, another friend bought the 1198S.
Thanks buddy!

You know my experience with Yamaha as well. What more can I say Actually, the only positive part about Yamaha's CBU program, is the pricing of common wear and tear parts and consumables.

I don't trust anyone selling a CBU product here. They all seem to have another agenda other than actually catering to the customer. Although H-D is showing signs that it is different, let's see how it goes.

Again, I hope I'm proven wrong with Ducati as well. And I think it's time to make a leisure trip to Mumbai. Bangalore guys are falling behind in the exotics' race.

Inder: No updates as such. I'm back in Bangalore, finalising the details for the import. Only after things are cleared up here, I will complete the purchase in the US.

An HD as a second bike looks like a sweet prospect; but a hypermotard would be a lot more fun I'm thinking of selling off all my cars and just keep bikes, still need to run the idea past my better half

When are you coming here then? I've been hearing about it from the last 3 months.

I've already been in Mumbai twice in the last two months on work man. What I meant was I need to come and hang out and do some places about which GS has been holding his fart.

H-D will be a fantastic prospect especially at the prices some of the bikes are selling at.

PS: Moving our posts to a generic thread.
