But yes, it might be country specific. So, US might enjoy lower duties after this discussion.

Who's confusing everyone?

How can a country favor a company out of the way? Think about what you are objecting to?
FTA's happen between countries, and not between a country and a company. Is that hard to understand?
Just for example, a route opened mainly for Harley's, was used by Yamaha, Honda, etc. to get their Litres in India.

Secondly, Your taunt about the phone is personal and immature. Post one more bad reply and you're ignored instantly, without any comment...

I think sometime around the same time, the 800cc rule has come.(I could be wrong though, but HD doesnt have any bike less than 800cc. Keep the buell aside)

Something similar happened with Thailand, the Free Trade Agreement(FTA). Are the bikes included in it?? Oh! I think the auto components are included.

Yes, the duties on other bikes should also reduce, at least for the American Companies!!

Anyone got any news on whether the import duties WILL be lowered ?

Not Sure about the News....!!

But import duty MUST NOT get lowered but instead home companies should be encouraged to produce high capacity bikes....cant wait for that day when we'll see Valentino Rossi winning Moto GP on a Bajaj Pulsar 1200 efi RR / TVS Apace 1199 ZFI

....why Valentino Rossi, he can be an Indian too....!!
