If India happened, how many of these do you think would people buy?

hi ken,
I, for one am waiting to book one.(after a test ride of course). I hope Bajaj-KTM keeps the price tag at a nice sweet number, though :-)

i dont think it will be a huge success...i feel saddle height does play an important role atleast in India!!(i am 5'4). whats use of buying a bike(especially dirt bikes) with all good aspects, but cant even tip toe!! (indian men's average height is 5'5)
