    i dont expect the bike to be locally made in india

    so even if it comes to india it will be imported and assembled here so i expect the price to be easily above 3lakhs
    more like 3.5 lakhs

    if the ninja 250 sells at about 3 lakhs definetly honda wont sell a 500cc parallel twin at about 2.5 to 3 lakhs
    Price in U.S. start from $5,500/- for the Naked model.

    Source:

    2013 CBR500R Overview - Honda Powersports

    The Ninja 300 in the USA starts at $4,800/-

    Since the CBR500 trio has the Ninja 300 in its target, it'll be interesting to see how these two bikes will compete there. The Ninja is cheaper, has lower capacity, but definitely looks more modern and fun bike!. The CBR500 has a bigger engine, but its around 20kgs heavier and looks outdated (personal opinion).

    For clarity, the power to weight ratio of the Ninja 300 is 0.23 HP/kg, while the CBR500 is 0.28HP/kg (for U.SA. models - 54HP) and 0.24HP/kg (for tiered-license countries - 47HP). Not much difference there.

    Any word out on the power output figs of the bikes?

    To me they look like budget-500cc machines which somehow feels built to a price going by the looks and finish!! Still, welcome change for the bike market like ours!!

    The X looks interesting but the Chasis is a disappointment for me, a Trallis or a Pariferal would have been better is what I feel

    Something like the KTM 990 SM T, Suzuki Bandit V Strom! *sigh* ... waiting for the day when we Indian's look beyond the 'dhoom machale' bikes :/

    There is something called "Boy Racer" dreams. So..

    The practicality aspect aside, but the 600 is totally drool maal. Love the super aggressive looks. Hope that the 500 cbx comes to India. I guess the 500 X makes sense for our roads or rather lack of it in Mumbai.

    All the three 500's seem to have a full digital console.

    As of the only the CB500X is the only one that looks good, the other two are passe.
