    Super bikes to get �affordable�

    The number of super premium bikes on Indian roads is set to rise faster early next year with Suzuki Motorcycle riding in a sub-Rs 8 lakh
    moto-monster and Harley Davidson getting bankers to finance its vehicles.

    At present, although high performance bikes of global majors including Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Ducati and Kawasaki are available in the market, they are as expensive as premium sedans at Rs 10-15 lakh. Honda will launch its 1200 cc VFR here soon after its debut in America and Europe in 2010, while Yamaha recently launched the latest model of YZF-R1 for Rs 12.5 lakh with an announcement to roll out more high-end products in the Indian market.

                      I thought its pricing around 14.5

                        Why didn't any one ask this question when Ninja was told to be coming in as CBU ? AFAIK, bikes above 800cc doesn't need to undergo Homolagation under ARAI. Thats y no saree guards present in the biggy bikes above 800 where as the Ninja has one.:-)

                          $7000 = 3 and half lacs which is coming for 7 lacs ..still a bit too steep

                          The 600's should arrive, would be easier to live with but like abhijeet said, something around the lines of 3-5 lacs would be a sweet spot.

                            There is Yamaha FZ8 and then Suzuki is developing GSR 750 with GIXXER engine!

                            Lets hope we get some 600 supersports!

                              A Company can Bypass 800cc CBU Import rule, by Homologating the vehicle with ARAI. It costs real high. Was Rs. 10-15 Lacs some years back. Must be above 20L now...

                              And I agree with everyone here, that a 3-5 Lacs Bike would be great. Hope Yamaha has something up its sleeve. Awaiting the Expo..

                              Unfortunately, a 600 Supersport will come quite near, to the same prices as The CBU Litres.
