    Hi, I'm a new Honda owner from Mumbai. Having been lurking around on the site and thought its about time to introduce myself. This forum looks like a very chilled out site and hope I have stuff to contribute as well.

    To say I am an avid motorcycle enthusiast is putting it mildly. I have an outright problem. Been riding and modifying bikes for the last 24 years.
    Bought a second hand 2010 CBR1000RR mainly for riding on the track. We have only three race tracks here in India so carting the bike to and fro turns out a costly affair. But then again I'm hooked so hard that I really don't care.

    My other two bike are a KTM DUKE 390 that I use for commuting and is a real hoot to ride, and a Royal Enfield that I've been modifying over the years to make it into "one super sorted cafe racer" that I could take to the track and ride to work. I know, "super sorted" and "Royal Enfield" don't go together, but I thought to myself that I have to try, even if its the last thing I ever do.

    I love all my bikes for their own reasons. But then again I'm the sort of guy who would have a blast on a moped too. After I modified the shit out of it.

    Cheers!

    Some pics of my bike:

    Thanks guys!

    Difficult to answer. The duty on imported bikes is very high here in India so these bikes cost a fortune. But even then, all the major bike manufacturers are here and they are selling their bikes. I think the Blade and R1 are the more popular ones.
