Hey guys, I've been thinking of picking up a 2011 Fireblade. Just spoke to Honda and they're quoting Rs.15.35 lakh OTR Mumbai registration with delivery in 10-15 days. Apparently they just raised the prices.

But based on conversations with a few friends, is it the right time to be buying an sbk? With all the new announcements concerning taxes and CKDs etc, it all seems a bit vague. And I don't want to buy a bike and then suddenly find 2 months later it's cheaper by a few lakhs that I could have saved if I had just waited a bit.

I'm not even sure what the whole deal is and when it will be implemented, so I would appreciate some clarity on the issue.

Thanks.

I suggest wait for a while....new entries are made in country which might reduce the price bracket......With the competition rising yes we can face some reduction in prices......so wait...but if you have sleepless nights regarding SBK's then this is the right time.......

thats a steep hike....

all the tax and everything are concerned with the CKD operations and not with the CBUs in picture so I dont think there will be any decrease in the price untill next year post budget or Honda announces CKD operation of the blades as well.....

No anomalies therein...The new price is of the 2011 model. The website however shows the old price(i.e. the price of2010 model)

Insomnia

The website doesnt even shows anything related 2011 model, is 2011 model is really up for sale? Which color you are getting?

Rs.15.35 lakh is the quote I got from Honda Wing World, Mumbai, for a black 2011 CBR1000RR with Mumbai reg, which they said they can deliver in 10-15 days. A friend of mine convinced me to wait out the CKD announcements and in the meantime the damn prices jumped instead of dropping. Now I'm wondering whether I should just buy now or is it worth it to hang on for a couple of months and see how the market develops with regard to the pricing on SBKs. Was hoping someone here could offer some insights...
