Let's clear up some things first:

1) Location: Parts of the US have equally high ambient temperatures. V-Twins from H-D and other companies run just fine.
2) V-twins in India: When you have V twins like the MT-01 running around in India without any cooling issues, why would H-D have any problems?

Probable sales potential here: From what I gather, the initial response has been very good, and the two segments (Ninja and H-D), are very different, with the customer profiles also being very different. Besides, the entry-level H-Ds are priced very aggressively, and I have no doubt in my mind that they'll sell very well.
