Garware-Hyosung will be in a fix if the Ninja is priced right. They will be bound to reduce prices to boost sales.. The other way round would sound inappropriate.

Hi Eshan.Going by blog sites:
650cc Twin cyclinders engines will be Hyo GT650R,Ninja650R,Suzuki Gladius.
600cc Inline4 bike will be Honda CBR 600F,Yamaha XJ6F.

thnx for the info mate...but i doubt Gladius. cbr600F and xj6F are readily avaliable here with clean registration!!!!

Hi eshan.These bikes will be officially launched and sold here in India.
Grey market imports are tax evaded vehicles don't look at them

The inline fours would definitely cost more than the V-twins.
One may also consider the upcoming Suzuki GSR750 within such price range.

Theres no word about it coming to India anywhere...

Yup,way more expensive but the engine is smoother and more responsive

guys am getting my delivery on 6th june...india's 3rd bike will be mine wow...

Actually there had been unconfirmed news all over about three Suzuki CBUs coming this year :
1.Suzuki Bking(I am waiting for this )
2.Suzuki GSR750
3.Suzuki Gladius

Now, the way Suzuki has gifted India with officially available and service-able multi-cylinders, all the above three are going to make it this year.

Suzuki are currently selling- Hayabusa, Intruder, Bandit and GSX 1000R.
They have the biggest CBU line-up available in India among all the four Japanese OEMs.

Though I have no known news or speculation about the Honda CBR600F coming to India soon.

@Melroyal: Obviously, finer things in life costs more money and patience

AFAIK, Harley dealership is appointed for Kolkata. Will take time to open up though. But no news on Hyosung dealership as of now.

Congrats dude! Not very far away

are we not considernig Yamaha here with R1,MT01,V-max and FZ1 ? which as per the count makes them equal..no ?

tax on imported and ckd bikes too much!

sports bikes are in inception stage in India and they are very expensive compared to how they are priced in USA and UK. Blame the Indian govt for this, not the manufacturers. there is 100% tax on imported(CBU) bikes and almost 75% tax on assembled kits(CKD). No indian manufacturer makes performance sports bikes but still govt is so intent on protecting their business even though there is no threat to Indian bike manufacturers from the foreign companies. Most of our bikes cost below 1 lakhs rupees and no Indian who is conscious of mileage will buy a sports bike for 5 lakhs. By imposing ridiculous taxes on imported bikes, Indian govt is just killing the growth of sports bike industry in India. The only way foreign manufacturers can avoid the tax is to set up shop and start production in India instead of just assembling as i cannot see much difference in price between the CKD and CBU units. this is good in a way as it will generate more employment in India but there is none of the big names like honda, kawasaki, ducati etc have production plants in India for sports bikes. And it will be really long time before they can start manufacturing here from scratch including the engine.
i was horrified and disheartened to know that the Hyosung gt650r costs 2.75 lakhs in USA where as in India its been launched for 4.75 lakhs! there is a 2 lakhs price difference even though its being assembled as CKD in India. Also harley davidson iron 883 costs 3.6 lakhs in USA where as here we have to shell out 6.5 lakhs which is a 3 lakhs price difference. Ducati monster 796 costs 5 lakh rupees in UK and here it is 9 lakhs. Likewise ninja 650r costs 3.2 lakhs abroad and it will definitely cost at least 5.5 lakhs here. Certainly there will be lot more buyers of these performance bikes if the tax is chopped down. At these prices even though there are lot of bike enthusiasts in India, only rich people can afford them

Yep you are right.........I forgot about FZ1.

Even Yamaha is at par with Suzuki, and it is bringing new 250cc bike like Suzuki too, but no news of FZ6 or Diversion F (to be in the 600cc to 700cc region) or so, hence I passed it.

If you consider 250cc to be in that league, then Honda is not behind either. They have CBR1000RR, CB1000, VFR1200 and CBR250R
