Default How many Superbikes are there in India?

How many Superbikes are there in India?

Can you give me a rough figure as t o how many superbikes might there be in total in India and in the following cities:
  • Delhi
  • Mumbai
  • Bangalore
  • Pune
  • Chennai
  • Hyderabad
  • Kolkatta

Indeed a simple sounding question, but come to think of it, its pretty hard.

thats a hard one bhaiya...its easy to get a hold of the number of the 'official' ones..but with so many small dealers lurking about everywhere(atleast in delhi)..its tough calculating the number.
but im sure there are approximately 11-12 in lajpat ngr 1,2,3,4 combined and about 5-6 in kailash colony.

Guesstimate can be worked out. But curious, why not call KRP/DreamBikes. They will give you better info than 100 posts here

Counting bikes from 1995 onwards, around 1500. Adding about 1 bike a day nowadays.

City-wise can be anyone's guess. Who knows how many are garage queens, or broken down into parts, impounded, scrapped etc. But I'd bet Bangalore would lead the count, with Mumbai and Delhi very close behind.

+1 , I got to know from a source that mumbai importers bring 30-50 bikes a month on an average.

we can expect 1500 to 2000 bikes.
