    below 800cc bikes will definitely come under homologation process & yeah FTA benifit should be there,which will make the pricing even better

    If the vehicle is manufactured in Thailand, do not forget the FTA which should ease up the complications.

    So, they have to assemble atleast the below 800 cc bikes in india...

    @im guessing india-eu FTA will take atleast a decade to be implemented fully
    @saipranav

    I doubt it is illegal... IMO, imported bikes above 800cc are exempted from homologation (ARAI stamp of approval that they are "fit" for Indian roads). Below 800cc bikes need to be homologated and possibly tweaked for "Indian conditions" thus complicating the import procedure a bit...

    you made my day buddy..ROFLMAO...
    Yeah i gues it will take on those big ones which are totally into sports like the Yammies and Kawasaki, not to forget honda in the league....
    But my question is since it will target these bikes...why Iam not seeing them here yet!!!! their products are good no doubt then why is the price factor coming in between and delaying their launches.....Do they think India as a trade partner might have cost crunches for 600CC sports tuners????

    But whatever it is Iam happy that this brand is here in India...They really have one of the best cruisers like the Bonneville, Thunderbird and youmy gummy rocket III.

    any news about its Daytona 675 or 675R???
    How good is it in terms of power delivery and features??? I think it will be another competitor for the GT 650R, Ninja would be out since it clearly matches with the breed of GT650R (Sports Segment)....

    Hyosung are you listening??
    The Daytona is a 675 cc 3 cylinder 125 bhp Super sports bike... It will compete with the likes of ZX6r, GSX -R600, R6, CBR600RR, F3 and the likes... Not the Hyosung... Which falls into a weird category of its own...

    Wouldn't they still have to pay the import duty? or is there an FTA?
