Re: Asking help from experienced bikers in selecting an around 1000cc bike.

Query Approved

Re: Asking help from experienced bikers in selecting an around 1000cc bike.

In my opinion, 650's are more practical on Indian roads, think again, if you are already riding a 650 cc bike, then go for a liter class bike. if you are new to Super bikes better start with a 650

Re: Asking help from experienced bikers in selecting an around 1000cc bike.

You say you are inexperienced with high end bikes..and you want a liter class??
Get insurance before you get a bike!

First of all which bike do you ride now???

You say you are inexperienced with high end bikes....its better to start with a 650

In 650 you have option of Kawasaki Ninja 650r, Hyosung GT650R or if you can wait then triumph is going to launch their bikes in India in which Daytona 675 is a better option

Re: Asking help from experienced bikers in selecting an around 1000cc bike.

Daytona 675 i think will be a good option if you stretch your budget by 2 lac than zx10r is good if you like cruisers than harely Davidson 48 if you like nakeds than Honda cb1000r , Yamaha fz1 ,ducati monster

Mate! I don't know u. But the way you started by saying that you have no experience with high end ones, its the best advice i could dish out with your limited inputs.
By the way i do not think of you as a rash rider! But without experience , a liter class bike would be riding you more then you would be riding her.
I just hope n pray that you are a born talent and good with your reaction time!

If you actually get yourself one, i suggest upshifting below 6k rpm every single time till you think you are in super command of the bike.
Ohh wait , increase this golden rule to 6mnths past the time you first think you are in command.

Re: Asking help from experienced bikers in selecting an around 1000cc bike.

Haha funny. But seriously is riding a super bike that difficult? I have read of few xbhpians who jumped literally from no riding experience to a SBK. I have not ridden one. Have you?

Re: Asking help from experienced bikers in selecting an around 1000cc bike.

Yes..i m been on one of the baap of all super bikes...Falcon 2 crdi turbo. And couple of other home engineered bikes , which are far less forgiving.. Apart from that i hv been on m1800 n loads of harleys.

On superbikes all is well untill the instant u actually fall down!

I think you should first ride the 390 more since it is a new bike. Ride it for few months(maybe a year), get familiar with it and then move on to a liter class or a 600 cc supersport.

Cheers

Ok, and I thought people use their first post in "Who are You?" thread first for introduction.

Anyways coming to the thread starter's query,which he has still not mentioned what it actually is. We should wait what he wants and clarify his needs.

But in any case I would suggest him to go for mid level bikes rather than jumping to litre class.

P.S : Its easy to go with the flow of the trends.

Re: Asking help from experienced bikers in selecting an around 1000cc bike.

Ninja 650 seems to be a better option than litre class....

Since you already have D390 & TB your second bike problem is sorted (Big Bikes and touring on Indian roads dont mix together)

Coming to your question which 1000cc or + bike in 10-13 L you need to ask yourself following questions,

As you are currently using a street & Cruiser type bikes do you want to continue with same??
If the answer is yes then you have following options -
Yamaha FZ1
Honda CB1000
Suzuki Bandit
wide range of HD range...

However if you are looking for full fairing Sport Bike then I am afraid but not many option as due to recent change in pricing all the fully faired models have gone 16+ L
still there are 2 options open for you,
Triumph Dayton R
Old stock of Ducati 848 Evo still with dealers (I have hear couple of dealers from Bangalore still have them and are willing to sell in 13-14 L range)

Another option is to hunt for used / pre-owned / pre-worshiped whatever you would like to call bikes
you will have plenty of them in market right now but PLEASE ONLY CHOOSE INDIAN INVOICE bikes

My pick in 1000cc Sport class,
Yamaha R1 - 2010 Crosspane
Honda CBR 1000 RR

Re: Asking help from experienced bikers in selecting an around 1000cc bike.

Under 13 there is limited super sport options here:

Daytona R
And nothing much I can see

Naked:
Fz1
Cb1000
Z1000

If you don't mind going less than 1L

is street triple
And the z 800 soon

If I am you I will ride the 390 for an year and postpone my purchase. Probably more better options will be there by then

Things like z 1000 sx is on the way.

Brother you just got 2 better options for you from Kawasaki Stable both Z1000 & Ninja1000 are launched with 12.5 L ex showroom.. you will still have to increase your budget a little but still Ninja1000 looks worth that...
