    quote:Originally posted by i_liv_to_ride
    Suppose they introduce a 250cc ...... 60 crores.

    But if they come out with a top quality machine in the 125......


    But I am one of those people you hate. I am a commuter, who would rather have a 125cc bike that gives me 50+kpl than any of the SBKs.



    So, in the end, while i am disappointed that Suzuki will not be launching a 150+ bike, i am definitely NOT disappointed that they will not be launching another 200+ bike. I am not against high performance bikes per se, but i'm afraid i need the low running costs. So do a million others.

    So if Suzuki launches a 250cc 30bhp bike that gives 50kpl, (I dunno, maybe a quadri-spark fuel injected, supercharged, ceramic coated thing using alien technology) and sells it at 65000, rest assured i'll buy it.

    now...my bike..LASER gives me 45KMPL(around)...& i can survive easily on that..i dont mean to say that i dont like commuters...i am commuter myself...these 180cc & 170 cc are nothing but high END cOMMUTERS[:P].CHEERS!!...

    If i were a international company who had my brands in all HIGH CLASS category....when i'd step into the the market..I WOULD launch a 200cc in first month & a 125cc in the 4th month...i'd like to show the people that i am capable of launching a good bike ....(by a 200)& also good in commuters(125)..This would have been my stratergy..

    this is all 'IF I WERE'...

      just surfing the net when I saw this interview http://www.businessworldindia.com/aug0904/indepth02.asp.. it talks the reality..bajaj or other indian manufacturer will take time to come out with high capacity bikes and for die hard xBHPians they will have bike from CBU route...

      The message is clear...indian bike market is slow mover cmprd to the expectation of xBHPians.

            Its all abt making money,the more commuter bikes u give to India,the more they ask for..
            @RAHULZZZ-Where would ride a 750 dude.Will you take tht to office everyday.Ho many here at xbhp itself will go for a 5lacs+ bike.Will you????Be sane man,leave apart 750,even 500 cc class bikes are far away..

                  As per my knowledge they are initially launching 125 cc first to capture market of mass selling commutating bikes then later on perfomance bikes and for that guys we have to wait for another 2 years.

                              Not a bad idea at all Bunny! But it will need a big initial investment tho... or perhaps we could bring bikes down on order.

                                actually it s a very good idea.... from bunny
                                it s time we guys try to do something rather than waiting indefenitely for the companies

                                Everyone crashes. Some get back on. Some don\'t. Some can\'t.
