Some things, sometimes take longer than they should have. Like most other two wheeler enthusiasts in India, I too have been a victim of the everlasting wait and have been let down by the pricing strategies of the Indian arms of Yamaha & Suzuki for their highend offerings.
Two wheeler players in India have missed the boat completely, and now when a couple of them are trying to change things, I can only hope for a gradual change.

For the couple of years I have been on this forum, and a couple of others, I have noticed that almost everyone is mostly willing to help and educate the misinformed and the uninformed unless they are a bucket load of arrogance.

Looks are subjective, and everyone is entitled to an opinion. I for one could care less what a strager thinks about anything at all.

I for one cannot yet figure out why the four Japanese majors have not ventured into widening their product scope in India. Three of them, namely Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki have fully owned subsidiaries in India.
From a management perspective, adding a vertical should not have been as difficult a task that they have not ventured into manafacturing their international line of products in India, given the production resources we have. They certainly have a point that I do not know, but they could, rather should have atleast tested waters.

It is about climbing the tree. Do you remember the four wheeler scene in India back in the early 90s? How many cars did we have that were in the 1500 cc range. Then all of suuden we saw a spurt of global players in the Indian market (may I mention with production plants) and gradually the standards started rising in terms of engines, interiorsm, design, etc.
This is what i expect from the two wheeler majors too, bring in the current lineup of semi-premium offerings, manafacture them here, and export the surplus.
This benefits the government in terms of percieved higher economic growth. The organisation in question taps another market for its premium lineup, and could capitalise on better cost structure for exports.
The enthusiast can buy a premium motorcycle from the an offical dealer, get warranty, pay in emis, and eeventually get to the premium motorcycles with peace of mind.

Going by your previous posts on this thread, I would say unfortunate.

I have read somewhere that economists are of the view that if the a higher growth rate in the tertiary sector is not sustainable and eventually the numbers would crumb below the growth rate of the industrial sector.
This however is what I have read somwhere, and is a viewpoint of a third person and not me. Just though I'd share it here.

I really have not worked with an automobile manafacturing company to be able to work on the numbers, but if a company could take up domestic & export purpose based production operations I am certain there would be a reasonable rise in direct and indirect job creation. Any increase in economic growth is a good thing.

For that you will have to start a new thread in the Shifting Gears section.
