You make a great point, but seriously, genuinely, as a biker I must tell you that the reason we are seeing better Indian bikes than Jap ones are that the Japs have long since stopped playing in our major volume cc classes ... which is in India 200 to 400 cc. There are very very few pure Jap bikes in our market in those categories, and save for a few like the Yam r15 and R3 and the Kawa Ninja 300 and 400, there isnt much to excite performance junkies.If I say that Indian cars are superior to German cars, does it mean that Tata Nano is superior to Mercedes Benz? When you compare, they should be in same price catagory and belong to same class. That is why I said that it was a common sense.
