My same question too..!! Are/were the parts available in INDIA..?? Since, insurance was not there...how much was the expense..??

The good thing about superbikes/supersports is nothing gets repaired ! It all gets Replaced !!

Now initially I was very reluctant on getting parts replaced. But then once I understood the process it felt very simple and I was at considerable ease. While replacing the parts your bike undergoes the same assembly process which it undergoes when it comes out the factory. You buy new parts...assemble them together and the bike is on its feet again.
Much like chaging the Motherboard, CPU, RAM and every other thing in a PC is not repairing but replacing the PC in its true essence.
Troubleshooting with superbikes is very simple and an error is dignosed electronically with rapidity and precision.

I imported the parts. Parts are available in India but my bike is legal so didnt want to put in parts of illegal bikes in it.
Like a dilligent citizen I ended up paying for the import, tax, duty, and postal for the parts. Within 8 days they get couriered to you and then its you and your mechanic.

What did it cost me ? Haha...it costed me what another legal supersport will cost anyone who stays in this part of the world. Thats why the accident sucked ! The good part is...they are all high performance racing parts...none of the OEM thingy..this bike will be more race prepped than what it was before the crash. And guys...guess what the new fairing colour is ?

Great to know Rohan, your bike will be in perfect condition now.. the crash looks darn scary man..

[trustvishwas]

My jean was in 3 parts my gears saved me again. I was standing with some small internal injuries. Waited there for some time, had shorts available so changed there;

Was that the only reason for changing your jeans or because they were full of brown organic material?

Before replying, remember your promise of no more than 6-8 hits in a day.

Hey rohan thats a good news to hear that your CBR is coming back in action.
I guess the fairing gonna be something related to green or black.

Dood, green is not colour for Honda.

Regarding the repairing vs. replacing. On Indian bikes these days.. parts are replaced.. instead of repairng.. eg.. panels.. fairing.. alloys.. leg guard.. whatever you say.. they all get replaced after crash. None of the service centers prefer to spend time in repair. Also they have set targets.. for sales of their spare parts.

Ok.. if you paid almost the cost of the bike.. then I believe it would have been sane to get a new one itself.

You could have sold this one and got a new. Any specific reasons for not doing that?

Dood, green is not colour for Honda.

are anything is possible nowadays if honda doesnt make you can always order and repaint it

You wont find Hondas in green anywhere. It wont go well with the brand name itself. Full Parrot green Honda will give the first impression of Kwacker.

Firstly i never said full green honda its only the fairing and my second option is black also

[shrinathrao]

@ satyen -- attached is the pic of honda cbr 600 in green.

I dont know whether the ninja is also of same color.

you can check this source Honda's CBRs: The Most Awesome Sportbikes On The Planet for more designs and colours

is it really this simple ...... & for our bikes it *&^%# .........

It never is as simple as it sounds tbh. The costs involved in fixing a supersport offset the simplicity of fixing it. Indian bikes are waay simpler to fix...no matter what. With a supersport you are all on your own. No Sales, No Service, No Spares..none of the 'three S'

Ok.. if you paid almost the cost of the bike.. then I believe it would have been sane to get a new one itself.

Mine is a legal one. You dont sell legal 600s. Especially since there hardly are any legal ones out there. If you set out on a search to find legal 600s in maharashtra I assure you will come empty handed after 90 days. Those who have legal ones (only 3 bikes) wont sell it for their lives.
Buying anything illegal and salvaging its parts to pimp my legal would have tarnished with the legal tag that my bike has.
Bottom Line : Once you get your hands on a legal 600 in India you dont sell it. The crash doesnt bother me as I know my bike is as new as a bike is when it rolls out of factory. Selling only made sense if the Bike was fcuked into oblivion ! (altho mine pretty much looks like it, it wasnt haha)

2009 Honda CBR 600RR does come in Black and Lime Green.
Its OEM too.
So yeah Honda does dish out green now. Looks hot too.
