The pricing is such a joke that Aprilia doesn't seem to have bothered launching the RSV4 Factory at all as that would have been at Rs.3.2 mil at this scale

The S1000RR base is about 375k cheaper than this even though the price difference in the US between the two is just 2k. This is overpriced even by CBU standards. Like I said in the other thread, Piaggio better get off their lazy Italian butts and start CKD with proper price scaling if they have any intention of selling these bikes in decent numbers.

Yes, they better do something to fix the pricing. It took so much push to make them slash about 1.5L off the pricing when bikes like the ZX10R were selling for ~16L ex-showroom. From what I've heard, Piaggio Italy cares a damn about selling anything other than the Vespa.
