Add some glamour to your ride. Buy the Harley 48.
It is priced at 9.5-10L. Its attention grabbing, has decent torque/power to make your money worth and has tremendous feel-good factor!

With the traffic congestion, potholes, buses & autos etc, in most city roads (including some of the outer ring roads & highways just out of the city), it may be too risky to be riding at triple digit speeds and hence the question would be 'can we ride at 50-60kmph without the bike jerking & vibrating in the 6th gear for those painful long road stretches before hitting the expressways etc'.

Most of the time its riding at low rpm in higher gears...

Default 2010 Ducati GT 1000 Sportsclassic

I had been eyeing this particular bike since 2009 but didn't had enough funds to buy it when it was available in market. I tried to get a used one for sale in India but had no luck. I called up the Ducati Showroom in Mumbai but no positivity from them. The only option I have for me is importing it by myself or convince the ducati people to import it on a special request. Anyone has any prior experience with importing a superbike individually or have they got it done thru an agency which is reliable ? Any help would be appreciated.

^^ bro, if you happen to know how to import bikes from Nepal, you can get it from here.

Man, this bike looks great when side by side with monster. Best of luck.

How many K's on the odo ? Do they have it in unused condition 'coz then it'd be a much easier import.
