I guess just Suzukis offer the drive modes

Dude! Ride modes were offered first in the Suzukis. Yamaha do have a ride mode. Honda and Ducati doesn't offer any drive mode as of yet.

every superbike in india has modes... be it from yamaha, or ducati or honda...

Honda doesn't have any mode switch. Atleast not the cb1000r and cbr1000rr.

Now the R1 also has it, from 2010 onwards!

i think all superbikes give 12-16 kmpl, is hayabusa better in terms of mileage?

Why do most people choose Hayabusa as their first litre class bike?

Isnt the price a bit too high,since the bike has covered a good 1,15,000kms should'nt it be time for an overhaul

Yes, you're right. Even an '82 Honda 400's was within 1.25L range. '99 R6 should fetch 2.5L max. I'm assuming it is a grey import machine, isn't it?

If its a legal import, you can stretch upto 3 or 3.2. And your expenses don't end there, maintenance being a key worry.

During 2006, R6's grey prices were around 7-8 Lacs. Can't say about '99 though. And a generalized rule is that for Sbk's in India, 5 years old in decent condition, means under half the price of a new one, minus 60-80k for grey import.
It means, 2007 legal R1 could cost 6-7.5 Lacs or so, because it ain't 5 years yet.

[BOND_001]

a lot would depend on the papers and condition of the bike.

somewhere between 2.5 lac and 3.2 lac.

I think 3 is a very good deal for model under 2004-05 which has done 119k.....anyways all the best.....
