General SBK Discussion Thread

That was the only link I also found from where I can actually buy that bulb.
UK is expensive than rest of the world, so I do not have any plans for any bike stuff. Also, we have decided to keep the blade stock
All mods will be done on a soon coming new member of our stable

bro be very careful, alot of fake philip xenons are there on ebay, please buy only from a trusted reseller.

cheers..

Hai rossiter, I need a help from you, can you find out whats the ex showroom and on road prices for Yamaha R1 and R15?,

dunno about R1 though rumored to be 14+ for '10 version,
R15 is for Rs.98001 ex showroom all across India,

[frank_dude_007]

Are there any more shops like KRP in NCR for spare parts and safety gears ?

[rossiter]

I too went to Yamaha Saket and the guy assured me that the booking amount is 6.25 lakh for 2010 Yamaha yzf R1

6.25 lakhs booking amount! At least better than Ducati who want full payment before your bike even arrives in the country.

I heard the R1 booking are on and so are the Gixxer 1000.

R1 bookings are on, delivery in January. I hear the new R1 is getting some good demand. Supposedly 14.xx OTR here in Bangalore

@Fireblah and Bladerunner: I have moved your posts to the General SBK Discussion Thread from Rossiter's R1 thread!

You can call them up and ask them. R1 is no longer available till the 2010 is out, that is only after auto expo in Jan.

Thanks, I am going to be in UK next week, hope to get it there and maybe save a few pounds

What else are you planning to buy from the UK? Its high time you pimped up the Blade a bit. At least an exhaust.

Hai rossiter, I need a help from you, can you find out whats the ex showroom and on road prices for Yamaha R1 and R15?, I have searched the whole internet and also browsed the Yamaha India website, but couldn't find the price of both the bikes. I had visited the website 2 month ago and there was no information about the prices, its really important for me to have this information, please help me.

I haven't bought them in India so far but you might need to look up a Philips dealer or look around in an area that has a lot of car accessories dealer in Kolkata. You can order it from abroad but it will take 2 weeks.

I know its available in Bombay and people have bought it here (the X-treme Power).

The XP moto is new so you'll not get it here for sure. You can get it from Ebay.

I would recommend the Philips X-treme power bulbs over the Osrams. I have installed the Nightbreakers in an R1 before and the Philips are much better. Honestly, my personal suggestion would be HID's (4300k or 5000k) in the projectors. Its just unbelievable light. My friends bike has HID's in all four headlights!

showroom guys never were and never will be a dependable source of info regarding the booking advance until the company press releases a definite launch date!

if u end up paying 6.25 lakhs as an advance right now the guys at the showroom will happily take the sum and dump it in their banks for sheer interest gains !

I think it's better to wait for the auto expo , hope all secret's are revealed

The Gixxer most probably will be launched at the expo... So a few more months, and maybe we'll have details of both...

[anshuljain]

Is 2010 R1 worth it? or the gixxer is an option worth checking out first ?

all the SBKs are worth every penny if you ask me.
gixxer is definitely worth waiting for, hopefully will be launched at the autoexpo.
