    Guess will cost me almost 7Lacs to get it to india.. Its costs $7000 Damn this money!!!

    Read somewhere on he forum somebody's getting a FZ6 for 6Lacs I don't know how!! where as FZ6R is cheaper... Gotta search fo people who deal in this.
    Surely the FZ6R looks great. Yamaha says this 78bhp machine is a great bike for the beginners.
    Pls do share the contact details etc, even I am very much interested in it.
    I'd rather be riding my motorcycle thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about my motorcycle.
    Ride often, ride well, have fun.

      Only 800cc+ bikes allowed to be imported under OGL. Both for individuals and companies. TR may be a different ball game.

        Yeah waiting for answers from guys on this forum.. I know one chap here in bangalore I will talk to him this weekend and see. I really have no idea about all these processes.
        In summarry it looks like this "COST Of the BIKE + 120 % Duty + TRANSPORT CHARGES" =~ 7,00,000 INR

        Damn This Money !!!!

                I am complete novice when it comes to buying Super bike.. I have ridden R6 a couple of times. but I dont knwo he process how to go abou it..

                Fo e.g
                08 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R for Sale at Bikez Free Motorcycle Classifieds

                This guy is selling a brand new ZX-6R for 6.7 Lacs where as that bike costs a cool $9000, I mean it goes againts the 120% duty calculation So I dont know how to go about this. Will do my R&D for some time and will talk to some local guys here.

                Fingers crossed .. Hoping to get a 600CC.

                Damn this money!!!

                  This is being lauched in Jan 2009(Ofcourse not in INDIA) and seems more practical to own in india too. Ain't she a beauty ??

                  Also I have another question, Can we import bikes from Thailand ? Will they be cheaper(In case of Duty etc). For e.g Ninja 20 is made in thailand... Are there any 600+ CC bikes made there ?

                  @Mods: I just copied the pic from the net, please remove it in-case this voilates some policy. Thanks.

                    Yamaha should CKD this and introduce it for around 4L. It'll sell like hotcakes. It's also cheaper than the fz6

                    CKD at 4 lk would be a discount for a third world country, Im sure they'd sell hot even at a mo.re reasonable 6-8 lakhs.

                      Yamaha should CKD, do part indigenous production on this and introduce it for around 4L. It'll sell like hotcakes. It's also cheaper than the fz6 at around roughly $7k or maybe less.

                        Metallic red or was it maroon... Dont quite remember but it looked fab. A overgrown pulsar, if I can call it that.

                          Even I am a nOOb when it comes to buying a SBK here but one thing is for sure. One day I'm get my rear on a SBK (my own of course).
                          Now need to take care of one small detail, finance.

                          Cheers

                            Does SBK's got resale value ? I am planning to own one around March-April-May 09. I want to use it for not more than 12-15 months.. How much money i would lose ? How are they calculated ? I am planning to get an 09 Yam R6. I am just 5.4 will it suit me ?

                              Motorcycles of any capacity can be imported. People have confused the homologation law with the import law....Bikes above 800cc do not need to be homologated, below that they need to. Customs has nothing to do with this...thats for your registration process and we all know how good our registration process is .

                                All bikes being imported need homogolation (Type Approval?) So there is no question of importing an 800cc+ bike without homogolation. If you do not have a type approval certificate for the bike you import there could be a fine, in the worst case it could also be confiscated or 100% duty imposed. Same goes for country of origin. The rule for cars is different (no homogolation is based on cost IIRC). I have been told on good authority that bikes under 800cc are not allowed to be imported under OGL period, whether homogolated or not (obviously won't be homogolated).

                                If you know of someone who has managed to legally import a bike under 800cc on OGL I'd like to talk with him/her please.
