Road Tax
I just have a question related to the road tax on SBKs. Eg: If an SBK is registered in MH and I want to use the same in Bangalore. Do I need to pay the road tax in Bangalore as well. Or is it just one time tax.
I heard that a bill was passed regarding this. That one time tax paid in any state is enough to use your ride anywhere in India.
Just want a clarification on this. Thanks

I think you cannot IMPORT a bike of cubic capacity less than 800 to protect local manufacturers, but I don't think there is an upper limit to the cubic capacity of a legal imported bike.
As far as local sbks go, you can buy any cc that the manufacturer has to offer, and I don't think there's an upper limit to how high in cc's a bike can go (some1 correct me if I am wrong)

But, if you say that you cannot import below 800cc machines, how did Ducati 696 get launched here? And what about the legal 600's that are raced by pro racers at the South Indian Tracks? Confused? Read on...
The law 'roughly' says that, any motorcycle above 800cc can be imported without the expensive homologation process, as Completely Built Units.
If you get them homologated through ARAI, you can import any below 800cc bike too.
So, Ducati 696's release was delayed due to homologation process, while other bikes were available.
Then. there's Transfer of Residence (TR) Mode that enables one to pay the taxes and import any motorcycle, without homologation obviously, as it would be a registered bike. Taxes for an 'abroad registered' bike, can go as high as 150% though.
Of course, this is limited to only one 'importing' rule. Some other rules are bound to be broken if you want to import yourself, like that rule about showing country of origin certificate & other documents, because they're just not practical.
Man, how many times did I repeat this info on Xbhp?

Yes you can. Geography does not really change the brake specs!Originally posted by strider View PostGuys...Does the brake pads specification change with the Geography?
Since my 2008 R1 Aussie Spec, Can I order the OEM brake pads from US?
Just a small update for the sake of info: the 696 did not get launched!Originally posted by Samarth 619 View PostBut, if you say that you cannot import below 800cc machines, how did Ducati 696 get launched here?The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

+1 to that... Ducati launched the ultra gorgeous 848, and the only way it got launched in spite of being in the power league of the 600s (~130 bhp) is because of the fact that on a power scale it's 848cc which by the book is legalOriginally posted by ken cool View PostYes you can.

How about that!! the Grand Pa making the law forgot to make a check on the power figures

Exactly..........Fireblade is wonderful....its for everyone,Originally posted by fireblah View Postfireblade makes you feel like you are pro at superbiking.... and the moment you hop on to R1, your pride comes crashing down..
Next is GSXR1000-common man's Superbike.
ZX10R is for race lunatics and R1 is for pros at racing.
All Japanese Superbikes are relatively easy on the pockets,European Superbikes on the other hand,is too much a investment for some added things-only pros can enjoy.So it does not matter whether the Jap 4 did or did not top the shootout.............they would always top a Indian's superbike chart.Originally posted by sheelpriye View PostJaps aren't even in top 3Last edited by MACH50; 07-20-2010, 02:50 PM.Hell's Angel
