India's motorbike market is thriving indeed with many good options for the enthusiast as well as the mass market. Something for just about everyone, it seems. Lucky guys!

Yes bro. Though things at the mass market level (which is now 250 to 450 cc, 20-25 to 40-45 bhp) are becoming way too expensive now, with the clever price creep year on year, so that the once massively bang for buck bikes are now quite exorbitant for the common man.

The KTM 390 that was a brilliant value proposition 11 years ago at 2.25 lacs (the Gen 1 that I ride), is now a crazy whopping 4.5 lacs (the Gen 3). Can't help whinge at the fact that you get essentially the same bike (cubic capacity and bhp and torque) with a lot of useless (in my very old school opinion) electronics, for nearly double the price.

Such inflation is all things automotive and motorcycle related is fairly common all over the world. But I wonder how much of what KTM is doing in India, by persisting with an older platform, in a market where consumers reward longevity of design (thus ensuring easier serviceability), is related to its recent international financial troubles:

 
Wow you know quite a bit about Islamic sects. I even did not know.
Waay waay back in the day at the old forum I'd troll a lot calling people wahhabi, and how Sa-ooodi was the root cause of all evil lol, learnt it from the Iranians there I think :LOL: .. and eventually picked up the nuance to it. Damn Bersians.

Both the Saudis and the Iranians see each other as the devil, and want to be the sole leader of their concept of ummah. The rest of the world is only too happy to capitalize on this deep schism in the religion to their own advantages. The zealots ruling the asylum cannot see that at all in their desperation to enforce their own set of views on the gullible fools, to no avail, very predictably.

We should let things be in peace, since reality remains reality, like it or not.

Neither Russian nor Ukrainian using any legacy weapons anymore.

Aap dekh re ho na?

Lay, banning ho gai Teri :(
Musings banned me for exposing the taxi driver mentality of a good dozen posters over there.

I mean if the Turks are posting in favor of the CIA rebels, one could understand their position. However the Pakistani cabby and room service boys cheering on an Al-Qaeda takeover of Syria is just fukking downright unacceptable no?

Roz aap k 10 fauji martay hain in KPK at the hands of these same guys along with another dozen civilians by these same ISIS Al-Qaeda and TTP fukkers, yet here you are cheering on terrorists that are killing your own people?

Musings mian over there should be ashamed of himself.
 
On the record I’ve said it over there k you fukking idiots, here you are cheering on CIA Al-Qaeda rebels doing regime changes in Syria, guess what you could be next!

As a matter of fact we are seriously next!

It’s just that somebody has to sign off on the paperwork in DC!

Bewaquff migrants living in Lundon got no clue on wtf is going on.
