Well I have had it both on Indian bikes and Japanese bikes as well..THe indian bike (read bullet) had no problems of taking any bump..Though i drive it at insane speeds (100+)!!, the pot holes, the bumps, non-existent roads... it doesnt matter..But i have had some lucky ones..Touch wood!

The Japanese bike (read Ninja) does not enjoy the bumps even a wee bit...Its on the Ninja that i have to tread carefully than the Indian made one!..But it doesnot have a steering damper installed too...But am not sure even that would help you in indian terrain!!
Indian bumps is 20% skill (which is in your hand and you can develop), 30% others on the road and 50% sheer luck!!...
