Another of those 'wolf, wolf' stories !! The companies shout 'SBK, SBK' and come out with another lamb (commuter bike) !!
I'm waiting to 'Dance with the wolves'
Is 50 bhp possible with a 250cc 4 stroke. [?] I was under the impression that you can get at the most 40 bhp.

i thought the same. the most powerful stock bike i've seen with 250cc is the Hornet producing 40 bhp.

Guys i think there is no point in talking about suzuki bike now because no one knows wht will come i think its good to cut short the post! first suzuki should build a plant in india!

Hey pulsar flame, no harm in dreaming and discussing dreams

And I don't think building a plant has anything to do with SBKs. The plant would be for commuter bikes.

SBKs will only come as CKD or CBU imports . . . . at least for the next 2 decades. And this only takes a couple of months after the company has made up its mind.

@Nishu : great signature , very insightful .

Stop curisng the manufacturers .
Japanese motorcycle manufacturers work and invest money into their manufacturing and R&D - science & technology aren't free .

They must at least recover their investment and some profit ; the global market for 600cc sportbikes is at least 50000 . How many of you are actually ready to buy such a bike in the next one year ? In the next 5 years ?

I don't think I'll have 5-6 lakhs to spare for at least 4-5 years , those who do still number in a few hundres - while that does mean imports are feasible , production is not . Wait a few years , let the govt feel pressur eto reduce artificial taxes abd duties , and with more realistic prices then some of us techies/software guys might just decide a nice CBR600 is a better investment than a wife ....and surely when there are a few hundreds or 1000s every year ready to buy these bikes , we'll have not only import at reasonable prices byt full service and spares support via local dealers , as in USA and Europe .

Indeed , it gives me the inspiration to learn and learn more and to realize that "Learning is like rowing upstream , if you are not putting efforts , you are going backwards "

WEll ricci No doubt and I am of the same thoughts as you are.
Sparingly its another 4-5 years for me to own a SBK.

Slurrrrrrrrrrrrp!! I gotta thank Techno for letting me know about this HOT bit of news last night.... This is just awesome man.... Hope they bring in India's first Inline 4!
