    may i know what is the diff between a v twin and a inline 4 ? to me inline 4 sounds great than v twin !

      + 1 for the evo
      if u like the twin then nothing beats the 848, it has got everything u will ever need to keep u drooling for a very long time
      before u consider this bike, take a look at the service back up, am not saying ducati india is not efficient, but ducatis around the world are notorious for delaying everything, so in case some thing goes wrong, u will have to wait for months to get ur bike running again.

I have also heard "rumours" that 2012 model will be a V-engine.
        (OT: I just saw the RSV4 on Sunday and boy what a machine it is!!!)

        Also being in Mumbai you might want to see the monsoon off!!!
        now thats an advice i would follow
        2012 probably will see an engineering miracle from honda, there is no way they will survive othervice.
        the RSV4R and RSV4 factory are stunning bikes, i had the R version for 3 months and loved every moment of it. its small and nimble like a 600 ( dont get me wrong , its heavier than any liter bike ) but man that sound of that v4, even with that stock exhaust is pure sex !!
        best sounding bike ever!! clip the bike into first gear and it sounds even better.
        but again.... aprilia has the same problems as ducati
        if i were u, i would ask myself, is there any bike that moves my soul, if the blade answers YES to u, dont look back , go for it, promise u , u will never repent it.
        dont get into the rat race, bikes keep changing every year.

            There is no SBK that is inferior to any other SBK. The magazines may point out the differences but trust me, whatever you buy you are going to love it. That is probably the difference between maginze review and ownership experience.
            My friends 2010 fireblade has lot more "features" than my 2007 fireblade but I swear to God there wasnt a single moment when I felt that I have something inferior. SBKs are there to offer you an experience that cannot be matched by anything else on this planet (Disclaimer: I am yet to have the Buggati and F-16 experience

                Very Very Very Well said!
                Just the other day a few of us were discussing about which bike to buy and the comparison triggered on why 'my choice' of\in HyperMotard is flawed and I should be buying a full faired machine as they are superior! WTF!

                    I was told that its gonna be 5.5 lakhs ex showroom.
                    I guess the Hyosung effect.

                        Oh yeah? what is the source?

                        OP - The revised pricelist is due to the fluctation in VAT. I know for sure that For Ducati Bangalore, it was revised from 13.5 to 14%. Just ask the dealership, what exactly is changing from the original quote.
