          Or an SBK and a Harley. Will pretty much cover most of their biking needs

              Direct Promotions - No, Indirect yes... usually done locally by the dealers and or via PR.

              No vMax? You sure about that.... if yes, then I guess the same will happen to VFR too!

                From my last count, I believe they sold 3 Vmaxs in India in a year! They are not exactly setting the sales charts on fire! But then the Vmax is 7Lacs cheaper.
                The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

                  Agreed, so I guess this would still get the same fate considering that even vMAX is not as iconic as a Ducati or a HD!

                  I hope both the bikes die! 225-796CC Can someone plug a few bikes here!!!!

                          The bottomline is,many people in India have money to spend
                          If people in India buy pen worth crores then why not bikes?
                          and about the pricing!Honda are charging 25L cause they can,regardless of the bike.
                          but the main thing which worries me the most is that SBK's are still outta reach of people who belong to middle/upper-middle class.who can afford bikes upto 7-8L.
                          Poor people are always ignored by the govt.
                          Its nothing new!
                          Speak Less,Speak Wise!

                          Sarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity.

                              guys i think the indian govt is to be blamed for the huge price of the bike we dont pay this much for it in the "US" its all cus the govt make's 160%-110% tax+dutie+etc......on the bike well its appcble to all superbike a new r1/cbr1000rr/zx10r will cost not more than 600000rs(on road) in "US" but in india its 1450000rs(on road).

                                well according to my calculations 1 honda VFR = 2 scorpios= 1 endeavour =.......... so on.
                                Well this car is totally out of reach of a middle class people. Unless a person is uber crazy about this bike he would not buy this bike (my personal opinion no offense). The price of this bike can fetch a lot of cars including hatchbacks to sedans to SUVs etc etc. So in a country which wants VFM, mileage & power i doubt any sales of this bike.
