[xBhp Universal Thread]: Buying a second hand (used) Superbike

[Ananth]

Hi All..

I am planning to buying a Used - 2006 Kawasaki Ninja ZX 14.

I haven't seen the Bike in flesh yet and would be checking out the bike after a week or so.

I need to know what are the factors to be considered before buying the Used SuperBike.

Can some one give me a Checklist / Things to see before buying the SBK ?

Some Pics of the Ninja that i am looking forward to buy...

Query Approved.

@all: I would request everyone to spare the "oohh" and "aahh" part and post some relevant information which would actually be helpful for the person concerned.

hi friends,

my query is a simple one....does anybody know the price of fz1 yamaha, if we buy it from some of the foreign bike importers... or do yamaha India people also import it...and whats the price in both the cases.

or can you advise what bikes one can get in the budget of 5 lakhs.
thnx.

dude if u wanna import FZ1 from foreign then you have to pay 88% tax on the existing price of the bike and it'll go beyond 10L so i think you should wait for kawasaki ninja 250r or you can get a used honda cbr 600rr or yamaha r6 or even FZ6

Ankit, FZ1 would cost around 7 Lacks i believe (Gray Market)

Also, saw in some threads that Yamaha is getting it to India in near future.

well i would like to say

Y why a zx14 thats a beast and not frankly made for india. u are better off with a Fz or a Z750 or SV650. at the very least a cbr600. this is a waste 0f 200horses. this one should cost u around 10lakhs . as long as u are getting used get a nice street bike or a good cbr600 will be easeir to drive , maintain and yes easier to have fun.

FZ1 for 7 lacs ?? when and where... A brand new one ??

a couple of months(3-4) when dollar was 37 INR, FZ1 costed 7.5- 8lacs. Now at dollar sitting at 50 INR.. Its stands somewhere at 8-8.5 now.

No way you can get it at 7lacs.. may be a seconds you can get.

ive seen and heard those exhausts on a 07 busa too...sounds like a tamed lion!!...theyre not the stock exhausts so more down goes the price by few grands.
