Can someone give an update about this problem with the registration ?Originally posted by stewarch View PostOriginally the 848 was priced at 19,97,451 on the road, Mumbai. This has come down to 15,00,000 on the road, Mumbai. I believe they are having problems getting their bikes registered. Not sure how big a problem this is but I know 1 bike which has waited over 2 months and still not registered.
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.
CheersLIVE LIFE KING SIZE !!

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.Originally posted by bikefreak View PostCan someone give an update about this problem with the registration ?

PS: I am just a fanboy!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...Originally posted by stewarch View PostWas told today, to hold buying new bike as duty is expected to drop in next 2/3 months.

Will not be long with the report...The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

GEEK TALK...PLS PASS IF U YOU DONT DIG IThuge torque pulse then the crank coasts the rest of the way around.Originally posted by silver_falcon_46 View PostI'm sure you know this, but there is a direct correlation between Torque and Power. If you have more Torque, it simply means you have more horses at any given rpm.

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...Originally posted by niks_devil666 View Postdude make up your mind. Last time you were singing a different tune.
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. Stocksigpic
