Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View PostBut seriously, do we need law. We can do that just by our instincts, INDIAN ISHTYLE!
Violate law, get tickets; get "n" (7 times) tickets, license stands cancelled for a year; next year, apply for license with more stringent test by paying more; also one has to attend mandatory riding class (decent enough to pinch one's pocket); also, per the number of tickets, the insurance premium also raises; if license cancelled...insurance companies even hesitate to renew existing. Without insurance, one cannot ride/drive. Without riding/driving, it's impossible to get around, because the public transport is worst making life even more miserable. Too complex!!!Last edited by aargee; 02-14-2013, 06:49 PM.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

Actually I must have said that ISHTYLE was for Indians not AMREEKANS. I must have made myself a little clear on that one above, though appreciate your effort for the heads up.Of course, you do your jingalala abroad and you get screwed. I mean, gimme a break, the bike the cops there have. Don't even get me started on that one.

Topic approved and moved to Random News Abroad.
During this restructuring period, Suzuki will cease to sell automobiles. The application for this Bankruptcy protection was filed sometime around Oct-Nov, 2012. Its just "approved" now. And this is not affecting Suzuki motorcycles' Sales and parts supply negatively.
By the way, Suzuki US was definitely struggling since last 4-5 years, mostly with cars. Kizashi is almost a failure, maybe due to the fact that its production edition is so so different from the concept that got everyone hooked. Ultimately, practicality wins over imagination.
When your machines get some things wrong, but they retain a USP, they will still sell somehow. But when a USP is absent, you got a big problem, is what I believe.Last edited by Samarth 619; 03-06-2013, 12:31 AM.---

Suzuki's been for decades, it's just that their 4 wheeler segment is in the back burner as of now, stumbling the growth of the entire company. But as long as motorcycles aren't affected, there is always a sweet spot for us.
I think.

Whoa! Could post serious threat to HD Street Bob and 883 models. But if only this were to come to India, this would give Harley bobs a good run for their money.

that seems to be distant dream, given the scenario that yamaha is finding it difficult to even bring a 250 CC bike to india.

The thing brands like Victory, HD and RE for that matter is the cult and belonging to the group that makes them sell/appeal rather than the specs. Yamaha surely does not have an image of an outlaw to create ripples in this group. But that said it definitely diversifies their portfolio and offers products to its loyal customers.
But it sure does can compete with HD if they intend to launch it so. But let's see.
