Not sure how big a problem this is but I know 1 bike which has waited over 2 months and still not registered.
          Can someone give an update about this problem with the registration ?
          I've also heard some unpleasant things about the guy who owns the Ducati & the Porsche showrooms. Apparently the Audi dealership was taken away from him due to this.
          Any more info on this ?? Can someone give a first hand report of their experience ?

          I was seriously considering the monster 796 but am a little put off with these 2 issues / rumours. In fact I've already spoken to the bank about the loan. The other problem is that I wanted the bike in Sept but they said they are not sure about that ?

          One more thing . . . They want me to put down half the amount right now and the remaining half when the bike supposedly leaves the shores of Italy, which is a month before the bike even lands in Mumbai. Is this the right procedure ?

          Could a Ducati owner please PM me his contact number so that I could clarify these and some other doubts.

          Cheers

              I guess the problem for one of the registrations already been closed.... the owner belongs to pune if I am not wrong! As for the second issue, I dont have an idea..

                    I believe the Ducati should be registered by next week. Originally was thru Andherei RTO, which we know was not registering superbikes but this guy tried other RTO's. Has considerable influence but as still unsuccessful. Was told today, to hold buying new bike as duty is expected to drop in next 2/3 months. First I heard of any duty reduction.

                      I shall have a duc if the prices fall further down, yeah. Wont buy it for the Duc Halo though...the Halo stemmed out of its exclusivity which essentially was due to its astronomical ex showroom figures and not performance. So with reduced price shall come lack of exclusivity and reduced or no halo at all...

                        100 odd kilometres with the 1198S and my bias gets strengthened!

                        Will not be long with the report...

                            huge torque pulse then the crank coasts the rest of the way around.

                              I am buying a Duc for sure. Cause its different. I am in love with it as a package is what I was singing on facebook after riding it. But I aint head over heels with it is what i am saying here...

                              The torque/performance of a twin is not my muse is what I am sayin. As for the big I4's, they are making so much HP and torque everywhere that you can lug them and still have more than enough power to spare. The Blade I had in germany broke every speed limit at 5,000 rpm. Stock
