Superbikes available in india and upcoming models to be launched - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

deviil · 12-23-2009, 04:19 AM

Hi,

I would like to know which are the existing super bikes available in India. This could include both imports and the ones available directly through manufacturers(e.g Yamaha R1). I would also like to know details about upcoming super bikes to be released in India in the coming year and possible launch dates if they can be assimilated as well.

Please approve this thread, I am sure other bikers would also be interested in getting this info.

this auto expo ... rumors abuzz about suzuki unveiling gsx 1000 r that has been long in the tooth for now.
honda may bring cb 250r... a trellis(or is it pseudotrellis??) frame 250 cc competetor for ninja 250.
as far as kawasaki is considered, bajaj has cleared that ktm-duke bikes are on cards. that rules out any big ninja for the time being.
also, of the jap big four, only kawasaki is the one that hasn t entered in indian market directly. hope they do it with a bang, like suzuki did with busa n intruder.
