      @MG - I think words of current SBK owners will be more valuable.

              Why are you not surprised to see this thread? Do I see a manufacturer driven poll here?

              650R for me. Practical because heating issues are lesser with a semi faired bike. Semi faired bikes are a balance of Faired and Unfaired, hence it might cater to the needs of people who like Faired bikes and Unfaired. Been designed for road use.

              I also chose a 650R because it would be a better touring companion as opposed to a SuperSport machine and it is cheaper than a 6R too. I believe they should not go the Yamaha/Suzuki/Honda way of launching supersport bikes for brand image. A practical bike, thats what we need.

                the ZX-10R is possibly the maddest 1000 ever conceived. It has the scariest top end hit amongst all production bikes...

                People who buy a ZX-10 do so because they are:
                1. mad
                2. insane
                3. both

                But practically speaking, all 1000s are overkill for Indian roads...

                If I can, I would buy a ZX-10 just to show that I have bigger balls than my neighbour (who has a R1/ Fireblade/ Gixxer 1000)

                  My vote goes to the 650 R too. I would definitely buy it if it were available, it is SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL.

                    I would personally like to see the ZX6r making in.. but since the 800cc rule, I wouldn't mind the ZX10r which is very likely (a la Fireblade, R1). So voted for the ZX10r.

                      Though 650r looks the best option. but the question is, have we got the new law passed for getting a below 800cc and above 250cc bikes in India.

                            650R makes more sense on indian roads...though I'd love to see ZX-6R.just looks gorgeous

                                I agree Praful, I wonder why none of these manufacturers are planning to launch their do-it-all roadsters in our country. I feel these are the kind of bikes we all need. As of now I cannot think of a better bike than the ZMR or the Pulsar 220 DTSI for touring and city riding (given the conditions we face in our country)

                                I will be very happy if Kawasaki brings in bikes such as ER-6n and Versys.
