Re: General SBK Discussion Thread

Saving up for a midrange seems like such a waste of time due to these incoherent, abysmal import laws of our country. In my opinion a 600 will suit quite well for our roads... not as heat producing, frugal compared to a litre class (more trippable), affordable, 600 class has gone through some of the most advanced development in the world (overall), opening the market to these will help local companies to exploit the market creating better business situations... but noooooooo... In India, our leaders make sure we don't get what the world enjoys... Its only extremities that exist in my country... 50cc and 1000cc bikes (legitimately exaggerating...)... anything in between is illegal... Disgusted and angry at this insane law.

Anyway, what I dont understand is that when Triumph comes into the market... will Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and the likes just sit and watch the sales of Triumph's 600 beat their sales all out in India? I already find that happening with Yamaha... Kawasaki has the Ninja 650r introduced in India, where's the Yami FZ6r?

Also just feel blessed that Triumph is finally coming in... Cannot wait to test out the Daytona and the Tiger which I have my eyes set for. Wish for more competition from Japanese Manufacturers though (already running the network they have in India)... t'will be sad otherwise.

Cheers all.

Re: General SBK Discussion Thread

Everyone is saving money, I dunno when will my time come (bad in savings). The Daytona 675 is so tempting! - the first legal supersports in india. On the other hand, recent releases by Kawi is unbeatable either. The market is flooded with options, just that - 'You should have money'; who says money doesn't buy you happiness; I agree to disagree here.....

Keep updating stuff, people. I am gonna buy something even if I have to beg, borrow, steal (common dialogue!!).

You already ride an SBK! Why need one more?

Re: General SBK Discussion Thread

Although people have replied to this query numerous times in other threads but let me explain it again.
Importing a new bike that too a sub 800cc in India will be a costly affair, costly enough that you can add few more to that and can get a Indian invoiced litre class.
What I remember the duty to import a new one would be around 144% on top of the market value at the place from you are buying, adding on to it, there would be shipping and freight charges and loads of paper work involving customs people and DRI. Not to forget, insurance would be 3rd party, means you will not be able to claim anything if something happens to the bike. In addition to it, the parts needs to be ordered from other countries as it would be difficult to get OEM parts here.

In short it would cost you around 12-13lacs , where as you can get a liter class out of showroom in 15.5-16lacs. My two cents : wait for few more months, get a Daytona.

Still if you are persistent on getting one imported drop a mail to goforkrp.com

u cannot import a sub <800 cc cbu in india (cbu only)...manufacturer cannot also import for u..u need some juggad
and yes i agree spares will be a huge issue ..

prior to 2005 when superbikes werent accesible people used to import spares @20% customs
and built them into bike(a direct cbu then was 110%)

all such bikes were illegal because of avoiding taxes
so importing spares and building a bike IMHO is still a no no and could land u in trouble

Re: General SBK Discussion Thread

If the bike model you have is sold as a cbu by the dealer then they can get you a chip based blank key and have it program matched to the original key. Am quoting from my experience of getting a spare for my hayabusa. The key came from US however I got the chip re programmed at dealer in Bangalore.

the blank key in India was 1250 cheaper that what I paid for it in US, re programming costed me 800.

PS don't ask how I managed to lose the key.

Thanks bro, i have one working key already with me and also ordered 2 more blank keys with the chips. found the procedure on other international forums for programming the HISS key. Its pretty simple and takes 5 minutes. pls pm me your phone number and when I do it i can call u if i face any issue

Re: General SBK Discussion Thread

If I remember I paid 250 pounds sterling plus import tax. I can send you the contact details on Monday once I am bnack in office. If you have NO key this isthe most effective solution.

Hey bro, can you pls help me with the programming a new blank key to the existing HISS, i have only one coded key which works just fine on my F4.
