General SBK Discussion Thread

Not only servicing; the purchase, the customer satisfaction, etc. They are pretty pathetic here in Mumbai. Honda is way better.

Wish you all the best with the brave move you've made, if it all works out according to plan you've made the right choice for yourself. BTW, another friend bought the 1198S.

Thanks buddy!

You know my experience with Yamaha as well. What more can I say Actually, the only positive part about Yamaha's CBU program, is the pricing of common wear and tear parts and consumables.

I don't trust anyone selling a CBU product here. They all seem to have another agenda other than actually catering to the customer. Although H-D is showing signs that it is different, let's see how it goes.

Again, I hope I'm proven wrong with Ducati as well. And I think it's time to make a leisure trip to Mumbai. Bangalore guys are falling behind in the exotics' race.

But am right now in the US trying to close the details up. No sense in hiding it, but am trying to bring a S1000RR back with me. It's an uphill effort at this stage, but BMW is giving things a big push on my behalf. Let's see how it goes.

Akhil, how are things with the BMW, any updates..!!

p.s: Pls. pardon me if i missed the updates

Inder: No updates as such. I'm back in Bangalore, finalising the details for the import. Only after things are cleared up here, I will complete the purchase in the US.

An HD as a second bike looks like a sweet prospect; but a hypermotard would be a lot more fun I'm thinking of selling off all my cars and just keep bikes, still need to run the idea past my better half

When are you coming here then? I've been hearing about it from the last 3 months.

I've already been in Mumbai twice in the last two months on work man. What I meant was I need to come and hang out and do some places about which GS has been holding his fart.

H-D will be a fantastic prospect especially at the prices some of the bikes are selling at.

PS: Moving our posts to a generic thread.

its very difficult getting both feet flat on a superbike unless u are 6 ft atleast, u can trim the seat foam abit to cut down about half inch of the seat height, but u dont need to flat foot a superbike unless u want to move it around with ur feet the hayabusa has the lowest seat height in the sportsbikes .

There are very very few official 600's in the market, i would not suggest an illegal bike as u will fall in trouble one day or the other with the dri, its not worth the headache, if u can get a full duty paid cbr600rr nothing like that, its a good & easy to ride 600..

I guess the primary reason behind people's fetish with fully-faired motorcycle has to do a lot with the movies and the general hear-say, if you know what I mean.

As for the CB 1000R, it is one of the best naked motorcycles that money can buy. ENOUGH power, good riding posture unlike the crouched position required on the fully-faired machines, and beautiful to look at too. I doubt if anyone at xBhp owns the CB, I would also love to hear the hands-on review of that machine. It is one of my personal favourite bikes.
