        But the CKD taxes could get the price to a higher side in Suzuki inazuma-250.
        BTW . what will be the CKD taxes if the bike comes at about 1.5 lakhs ?

              This bike I find is quite practical. Semi-faired, with decent amount of power and extremely comfortable ergonomics. Even the pillion seat looks comfortable. No split seats and all that junk. A practical tourer and city runner. If I didn't own a 220, I would contemplate something like this. The windscreen and upright seated position all draw me towards it.

              Looks are something that I don't care much about. Even then I don't find it ugly. Not the best looking motorcycle either!

              I remember when the ZMR and CBR were launched, I found them disgusting to look at. They looked terribly bloated and overweight. I thought only people who like boats will find them good looking. But over time seeing them everyday on the road, I have got used to the looks to the point where I don't find them ugly anymore.

              I wonder if it is really that ugly or is it just that we have read everywhere that it is ugly, so we join the bandwagon? A digital version of mob mentality?
              I still find the ZMR as UGLY as the day the first pictures were out on the web!
              It will always be an eyesore to me...

                    if it is priced between ZMR and Duke200, it might sell in good numbers, otherwise, not much hope.

                      when i will have something as retro as this in India ??
                      I too wish for the same. It's a stunning beauty.
                      The point is that you and I may like it. But there are only a few takers for these beauties especially here. You can very well understand it from the sales of faired bikes in India. Here everyone wants the Valentino Rossi look.
                      Manufactures too don't want to gamble with crores investing in a classic look.
                      Infact, what i really miss on a modern bike is the analogue meters.

                        The GW250s looks partially beheaded. Looks are a dealbreaker. It may be cheap, it may be powerful, I am not touching it.
                        Just thought of something: looking through the link Satellite.kid posted on the evolution of the bike from the B king, it reminded me of a Stegosaurus. Especially the last two pics.

                        I am being mean and I am sorry. But please Suzuki, don't do that again.

                              I would not term it as ugly...but it not eye candy. Rest of the bike cant be ignored just because its 'ugly'.

                                Yes I can ignore, because its Ugly.

                                The "unreliable" RE Classic tugs the strings on my heart more than this Ugly one
