Not bad. A 600CC doing 300kmph at 92bhp! But I also realise that unless I am a hard core racer or if my riding qualities do not qualify me as a racer, I would not be able to buy these bikes proposed by you!

You mean GPS?

Also, GPS tracking should be optional because of privacy issues.

WOW !!! I praise the level of company standards you have set and would be happy to see this becoming a reality.

OK now back to practicality:

1.) Thunder 200 FI
Power : 25bhp
Max Speed : 180KMPH

Mileage : 40KMPL

Thunder 600 FI
Power : 92bhp
Max Speed : 300KMPH

Mileage : 25KMPL

Thunder 1000 FI V-Twin
Power : 130bhp
Max Speed : Unable to test in Indian Roads

Mileage : 12KMPL

These are some figures the top level companies around the world would struggle to achieve. I am not sure how are you going to achieve it. Even if you can achieve then I am sure the looks are going to take a beating.

2.) Fully robotic service center: The kind of cost involved in producing such robots is gonna be massive. Forget the operating cost. The production cost is gonna be so high that your customers will end up at some local SBK mechanics. You do need human intervention. No robot can judge the level of service needed for a bike.

3.)

Service centres will be accompanied by a Company Owned race Tracks where the bikes can be test driven
Race tracks? There will be so many local, legal, social and political issues.Even if you manage to get pass them do you mean there will be a race track for EACH service center? A better and feasible option seems to be a zonal race track assigned to a number of service centers. But there is a big "If".

4.) I don't expect the Director of the company to confuse between GPRS and GPS.

5.)

So this means virtually there will be a production line at every service center + a Service line. Again too much to be done.

The bike will be Coated with Wax in all the parts.....and comes out Shining
All the above work will be done within One Hour of time....
The highly optimized Honda Facility at Hamamatsu, Japan takes 3600 seconds i.e. 1 hour to assemble one bike. So....just for your information.

This is a great idea.

I would encourage you to dream but at the same time have something practical. I am not saying it is impossible but I am yet to see it being possible. All the best !!!
