Choosing HEAVY BIKE

[vickytulla]

bikes above 500cc are considers as some what heavy... most of them which you think are only sports bike not 'Heavy' in 'Real' world even GS5003 a couple of ton heavy in wieght is considered as a learner entry level street rat not a heavy bike ...

[Libertine]

There is NO such term as a HEAVY BIKE in the whole wide world. It's just a term invented out of nowhere and used by uninformed and in some cases uneducated Desis to wrongly define bikes that are actually called and known by the term SUPERSPORT bikes in the rest of the world.

It would be great if people stop using a stupid term such as HEAVY BIKE for defining motorbikes that are actually known as SUPERSPORT.

somebody share the price of kawazaki ninja 250,300,300ABS incl, all tax etcccc

Kawasaki Ninja 300 - Cheapest retail market US. UK market price would be $500 higher than the US equivalent.

Base model without ABS - $4800 - Rs 480,000 approx
with ABS - $5500 - Rs 550,000 approx

Duty - Rs 310,000 approx.

Air freight - Rs 160,000 PIA

Container freight - Rs 85,000 approx

Misc charges clearing etc. - Rs 50,000 approx

So, the Kawasaki Ninja 300 will set you back anywhere between Rs 925,000 to 11 lacs, depending on whether you go for the ABS or non ABS model and whether you ship through sea or air.

Hope this helps.

2008 model, not possible. Only 2009 and above models can be imported into Pakistan right now. From next year, 2010 and so on. Sadly, Kawasaki Ninja 300 was launched in 2013. So, it's just a year old model anywhere in the world. Even if we import a used 2013 Ninja 300, there won't be much savings with the purchase price abroad and even the applicable duty rebate.

You can check the ongoing price of 2013 models on Autotrader to see how much value they lose in a year. Not much, I am afraid. So, a 2013 Ninja 300 in good condition and low miles will still set you back around 7.5 - 8 lacs for the base model.

In most international markets bikes lose the most value after they have aged for 3 years.

in our local street language, any bike with a bit of fairing is called heavy bike, it doesn't necessarily have to be a liter-class supersport

Whether litre class, 600 cc or not. There is no term such as Heavy Bike in the world. It's just a result of jahalat.

I know this because I learnt this the hard way. A decade or so ago when I was in college, I used to call them heavy bikes too. And then I went abroad for studies. I clearly remember that day even now, when I entered a bike retailer in West London, just for window shopping even though I was posing as a prospective buyer.

I kept saying Heavy Bike, Heavy Bike to the sales man, and he was just staring at me for a good 5 minutes before saying, "Heavy Bike? What are you looking for exactly?" And I kept repeating Heavy Bike, Heavy Bike. After a good 15 minutes, he said, "I don't know what a Heavy Bike is. Can you pinpoint from the bikes that are on display here."

I quickly pointed my finger towards a white R6 there, and he went, "Ah, those are called Supersport or simply Sport bikes." I was so embarrassed at the time, that I had to apologize and thank him for correcting me. I have not used that stupid term, Heavy Bikes, to-date.

A bike being heavy has nothing to do with how fast it can go. Actually it's the complete opposite. All bike manufacturers fight to keep the weight of Supersport bikes as low as possible to make them more competitive every year. So, there is no direct co-relation between them being Heavy and being Fast.

And it's NOT just the 1000cc bikes that are called Supersport, but all including the 600cc or any of the sport configuration bikes with a small engine capacity. Even the 125cc, 300cc etc. bikes come under the Supersport category.

To confirm this check the link below. You will find KTM RC 125, RC 390 and the mighty 1190 RC8 R under the same SUPERSPORT category.

KTM Supersport

So, the bottom line is that the word, Heavy Bike, is a result of ignorance and jahalat more than anything else.

Are you sure about the freight charges by sea....... 85k seems like a lot.

[alizees]

Why not go for Honda CBR 500, recently launched at 12 Lac, brand new..No issue of spare parts as well.
