Shouldn't this go into Classifieds? Anyways, I checked into some sources, and 3 Lacs seems too less for a 600cc Supersports. Or maybe it could get a year 2000's model.

1. There is one CBR 600RR 08 model (duty paid) for 5.25. You want to check it?

2. CBR 600 f4i 2005, DRI cleared, 4.3 lacs. Would this be ok?

Also, please clarify if you're ok with a grey market bike (which doesn't have taxes paid)?

I think getting 2000+ will be little tough, unless you are lucky..
Just found this.. Can look into it
93 Honda CBR 600 F for Sale at Bikez Free Motorcycle Classifieds
94 Kawasaki ZZ-R 600 for Sale at Bikez Free Motorcycle Classifieds

Getting a post 2000 model in your budget would be difficult. In case you do manage to get one do scrutinize the engine and papers thoroughly, you are most likely to come across bikes with shoddy papers and with mechanical & electrical "juggads" which are keeping them running.

In case you are open to older models, i have an 1993 model CBR600 F2, with clean paper in top notch condition and with aftermarket addons. The add mentioned by rachit in the previous post is actually mine.....

Cheers and best of luck with you search...

Armeet

just be careful of the papers....also lost of good bikes like the duke that can satisfy ur needs without the hassle of cops and bad mechs screwing ur ride and bike...my two bits

a sub 3 lac budget is most certainly NOT enough to get you a 600cc inline four.

even if you do find a bike with clean papers for that amount (which you won't)
and even if the bike is in perfect riding condition (which it won't be)

with an upper budget of 3 lac...
realistically... you're looking at a clean, good condition CBR400RR.

it's not going to get better than that!

at 2.5 - 3 lac... a CBR400RR will have you grinning from ear to ear.
quite literally.
with a topspeed of 220 kmph and more (if the bike's in good condition)

i don't know how experienced you are with big bikes...
but since you have 3 lac to spend i suggest you get yourself a 400RR.

it's prolly the most sane (if you can call it that) "superbike" for indian roads.

powerful. good brakes. sounds just like a "big" SBK too.

Thanks for quickly approving my thread antz.bin and thanks Samarth 619 for quick reply

The bike mentioned are above my budget, hence can not if only cbr 600 f4i was 3l even if i get 2003 model , i just checked adverts of bikes on xbhp, teambhp, bike,biz etc. Is there a database of dealers in MUmbai, Delhi whom i can call or a group of SBK owners whom i can call and ask . CBR 600 F4i 2005 is tempting only if it was in my budget

What is the catch with Grey Market bikes, please clarify .

thanks mate, but will prefer newer models . By the way, the juzzad which you are talking about , is there a way to check the sbks for that or for that matter any other problem with engine, chassis, like a detailed check list?

Thanks Nachaya , actually i test rode Duke thrice and so do CBR 250r. I had finalized Cbr and was about to buy in last Navratri but then let it go as i felt the punch is not enough in a 250cc for my liking and then increased my budget to go for SBK. Regarding paper i will be needing NOC as i will be using bike in Lucknow then may be Delhi after a year or so

Thanks xionite , quite valid point something to ponder over .

The reason i didnot take 400 in consideration is again sourced from Internet so please feel free to correct me, educate me regarding it

I read that 400's are smaller scale versions of supersports 600's made for Japs domestic market and are cramped ( while i am just 5,5 weighing around 59 kgs ) , have aggressive riding stance and thus are more painful for wrists , lack torque in low, mids compared to 600s and naturally more so compared to 1000s kind of like the riding experience which i had in Duke, high revs, but you need to shift often to keep you in powerband and shifting does rob you some precious time while accelerating . Also i considered the fact that by end of 2013 there will be 350's in market hence diminishing allure of imported 400's thats why i am actually preferring 1000ccs more then 600s if i can get one in my budget as i think they will have more mid range and will be easier to sell. Forgot to write before that i wish to upgrade after two years or less even.

though i am curious that 2.5 lacs will get me which year 400rr and in what condition.

Also http://www.bikez.biz/ads/showad.php?ad=44546 please check this advert for a sold bike. if a 2006 bike was advertized for 4.25 and probably sold for 25-50 k less then should i expect to get a 2002 model for under 3l?

Hi i seriously doubt that you would find a good condition SBK in this price and that too with proper papers. If you do , please do get it checked with a proper SBK mechanic before making a purchase as such bike may be either written off post a major accident with hidden repairs on the frame or if you are lucky impounded vehicles given off for auction.

Please do keep in mind that running cost and maintenance cost of an SBK is quite high. You will end up spending more on getting a 2nd hand bike back in in top notch shape than you would on a 1st hand bike. If you have a budget of 3 then why not spend on the baby Ninja 250R.. It will give you all the thrill that you need. Ofcourse I4 is not present but it is a very potent bike... would recommend you to do a TD of the same.


Cheers,

Grey market bikes are illegally imported bikes. Such bikes are either imported in different spare parts and then assembled in India, or their duties not being paid. So, in a way such bikes don't exist on paper. Such bikes are often 1-1.5 Lacs cheaper than Legal bikes, but you run the risk of DRI officials seizing your bike later on.

For the above same reason, there is no database of Second hand Sbk Dealers, because they have to deal with Grey market bikes too, as they're the majority till now.

Although, I have typed an advert for it at the right places. But for you, I suggest Rd 350, Ninja 250R, CBR 400RR, etc. As I PM'ed you, a RD 350 in FZ's chassis is available in Delhi, for 1 Lac. I think you should give it a look.

i had a friends 400RR with me a while ago...
and my 19 yr old sister, who's 5.3" took it for a spin.
she said it was just as easy to ride as an FZ16...
just that it accelerated much faster.

a sub 3 lac 1000cc is a pipe dream...
if you do find one... run away. coz it'll be confiscated before you can say "bill of la(n)ding"

for 2.5 lac (prolly a little more) you'll get a 400RR that's in virtually perfect condition.

now this is a bike that can 0 to 100 kmph in UNDER 4 seconds...
find out which bike or car (on indian roads) can do that.

and a 400 won't cost you 80 grand every time u have to change tyres.

the SBK market in india doesn't work within the realm of logic.

and please don't trust ANY ads on that website. utter rubbish.

in the real world tho...
there are legal/clean/accident free 2002 CBR954RR's selling for as much as 6 to 7 lac.
this is more or less the price band of a good 1000 SBK. (overpriced if you ask me tho)
