    Last year India manufactured 12 Million motorcycles & scooters, obviously the vast majority are little commuter bikes under 250cc, but even if (extremely conservative projection) 1 in 1000 of those riders eventually upgarde to fiullsize bikes, you are looking at a market for 12,000 new fullsize bikes - it could possibly be many times that figure. No wonder Harley, Ducati, Triumph, BMW et al are falling over themselves to get into that market and establish their presence in a big way.

    I like it. India has a middle class of like 400 million people. The maths are pretty easy.

    i think i like it , but the photos leave a lot to be desired.

    like the article mentioned i know that there are some really cool metalworkers over there fashioning by hand stuff that cant be produced commercially elsewhere such as hand crafted and polished aluminum tanks . 

    these guys are appearing on more and more bike forums offering stuff - keep an open mind if it happens here .

    That bike has had a lot of work go into that fine detailing. It's not really to my taste but it is a new style which is something that doesn't happen that often.
