Z800 is still a great buy and many 0kms run BS3s are available for a good 1 to 1.5L discount (buyer will be second owner).
    Hey mate can u give me any details about someone selling 0km run z800.. U can DM me if possible..

      Duke 390 - Great all rounder however if you have R1 and Hayabusa as target then it is not worth discussing it here.
      Benelli 600i - My ex - Sounds great and looks good to general public and will make a lot of heads turn. But 4k service interval is plain stupid and paying 9k average for a service every 4k kms is really expensive affair. Also, it kind of feels unncessarily heavy and just doesnt feel fast.
      Nina 650R - Dont go for it unless you want a bike that will bore you with its reliability. This bike is so bulletproof that you will be stuck with it forever and till the end of time [emoji14] and it sounds kind of boring too and this too wont feel like a proper superbike

      I will recommend picking up a used Z800 if you want a naked. It too has a bulletproof engine, rides like a charm and has ABS. Service and spares is no problem either.

      If you can really stretch for Hayabusa (my current love) then just go for it. It has enough power to satisfy anyone. The 'A' mode is just maniac and it is a very practical superbike too and it too is super reliable. Good service intervals too and very easy to maintain. Overall upkeep costs are no more than a 600i. Have ridden it daily to office and back for a month and it is just WOW bike.
      Hey mate i guess u owned a 600i in the past answer me something.. The service interval is 4000kms.. But if it has not completed 4000 kms then in how many months should it be serviced to keep the warranty..

        Every four months benelli 600i should be serviced.

          Thats too much to ask.. 4 months.. I am planning a bike.. thats why researching a bit.. Approx 7-8k service cost.. 3 times in 1 year.. Total will b around 24k in 1 year.. Thats sick for a 600cc bike.. Z800 service is cheaper then irrespective of the fact that its a kawa..

            Please check kawasaki service costs too, I guess it has been changed after bajaj-kawasaki split.

              @AmanShaw: Looking at your requirements I am sure that you have earned that money after hard work and lot of savings bro and it will be heart breaking to see your bike being towed away and you being unable to do anything. If you fear that sight, please stay away from Grey market. You will be in huge trouble if you get messed up in DRI issues. Most grey bikes have pathetic condition too as they change owners a lot and none of the owners are in record. As you are new to SBKs, you wont notice the issues till someone points them out.
              I have a grey market red ZZR1400 and CBR600RR here if you want and can get you connected to someone who will help complete the deal. However, unless you have black money, stay away from Grey Market bikes.


              @Devarshi: Indeed it is expensive. Benellis are cheap to buy and expensive to service and maintain. Chainset of that 600i costs more than busa's. If you are really looking at that segment and want a bike that is super cheap to maintain then CBR 650F is the answer. Closely followed by Street Triple. You may spend a little more as initial cost on these bikes however save a lot in long term. Also CBR 650F is now 6.75 ex-showroom and you can bargain for them to throw in some free goodies.

              I have DMed you the Z800 details.
              Street racing is for Squids trying to make up for their small equipment
