This posting is just for all to know the kind of bitter experience I had with a super-bike dealer, Babu (AKA Aman), a dealer from Mumbai. I really do not know how dealing with super bikes work. AFAIK, the dealer is the person who introduces the buyer with the seller and cuts the deal with his brokerage extra.

I was in search for a legal CBR 600rr for almost a year now and finally saw one with the dealer and started the talks. Even though he said the bike is a clean import with all the papers, I need to know more about it and called him couple if times to know about the bike.

To start off he was not ready to talk to the owner for any kinda negotiation on the price. After which I asked him to just send a soft copy of papers to my mail ID as I live in Bangalore which he denied again and started being rude.

Finally when I check, the bike doesn't have an insurance and he is not ready to just give the license plate number. What he told me was " I have lot of questions and don't take the bike its not for me ".

I am not sure how many of you know this dealer personally but for others, please be careful when you deal with him. A dealer who is not ready to disclose any thing about the bike and being rude is not a dealer, but a danger.

And my search is still on

justin i told you if you want the bike you come personally and check with the paper, as you need the bike you have to travel buddy.







Hope you get a good experience further even if you dealing with anybody else..

Thanks n Regards
Aman

Hi All,

Even I had faced the same issue in Bangalore with a dealer named "Zubaid". Initially when I asked for the used bike he siad yes there is one and showed me 2003 R6 model with Reg No KA-04 EF-5 for which he told 4 lakhs and he asked me to pay the full amount and use for 2 months, If I was not satisfied with the bike then he would return the full amount.

I said I'm sorry and ended up with a new legal GT650R

Good for you man.. I have decided, either no bike or get a bike from the owner where there is no intervention of dealers and their play around.

@ justy

I completely understand your plight brother. The same thing happened with me when I was offered the senna edition mv. The owner simply said u can check the papers when u r here to check out the bike. Couldn't make him understand that I wouldn't be interested in checking the bike if papers are not clear. But anyway.

@ aman

Bro.. I'm sure even his point is right. As far as some other bikes papers being used for some other bike is concerned - I am slightly confused - the papers usually have the VIN number on it. Which would also be there on various parts of the bike. So how can one use the papers for some other bike??

Anyway just a small suggestion. U want to sell the bike and justy wants to buy a bike. I'm sure we can come up with a mutual understanding and go ahead with it. No point quarelling here. He was just confused I'm sure and don't let a simple misunderstanding ruin it all.

Rest is upto u 2.

Awrite. That's sorted then.

Let peace prevail.

Let us know if u need some help.

Cheers!!

is it this hard to find a used litre class as well?? i am talking post 2008 firblade or post 2009 r1...??

I dint read through the comments here but he obviously got rude because it wasn't a Legal one and he realized that you would look into it with the Reg. No. and who knows if the word spreads that it is illegal-he would be in trouble.He simply tried ignoring you.

It's not difficult to find a liter class.We have few ranges of liter class here. But getting a fairly new bike is gonna drain your pockets for sure.

I was offered quite a few liter class bikes. But my heart is stuck on to 600s..

There is a legal R1 for sale 2009/10... Not too sure about the model.. But the quote is 11L, if my memory serves right..
