Import duty is a necessity..yes it is. India has a huge market and has open up its reforms so much that manufacturing here has become more simple (see Hyundai). Manufacturing will not only bring millions of FDIs but thousand of jobs as well. You can not simply ignore the fact that people here who are buying p220/zma would be more eager to pay 3-4 lacks for a r1/harley etc which will ultimately hurt the domestic companies directly. Yes this is possible if they can shift their base to India, enjoy the cheap labour, variety and curruption and lanch their bikes (atleast in this case we can see some jobs and money coming in). But lowering import duty to that extant which can hamper made in India products is a big No No.

And reduce the market for these bikes, which is starting to grow.Originally posted by insane79 View Postwell said, the govt might instead increase the importy duty in the future after looking at the sales of these imported superbikes
I think right now its only making a new class in the market not cutting customers out from the 200cc and below market. In fact they should reduce the tax to 60% so this market grows, and the make more money on the tax with large number being imported.

Of course, rightly said. +1. I agree that Sbk's won't be here at international prices, in near future atleast.Originally posted by satyenpoojary View Post
Every Investment is justified by its returns. If, it was a booming market of Sbk's in India, they would have invested, despite all difficulties involved, in hope of earning profit...
Give them demand in huge numbers, and they will serve... (which is more of a hope scenario, than a practical possibility, atleast for now).---

superbikes are considered luxury items for our govt, they wont lower the duty to sell more, they dont care howmany get sold, they are protecting the domestic bike makers, by making imported superbikes cheaper then all bike makers in india will just start importing bikes down instead of making them here, which will hurt are economic conditions like jobs etc, so it will never happen just forget it..Originally posted by Raoul Black View PostAnd reduce the market for these bikes, which is starting to grow.

stop putting ur half baked internet gyaan on a public forum & confusing everyone ,let the govt come out and tell their decisions,till then play with ur samsung phoneOriginally posted by Samarth 619 View PostOf course, that won't happen! One can't favour a company like that. And anyway, the article says "lowering the custom duties", without any company/ country suffixed ...
But yes, it might be country specific. So, US might enjoy lower duties after this discussion.
Come on India, Maan jao! BTW, Buell 1125R ain't a bad bike?! What say guys?

Who's confusing everyone?Originally posted by anirudh fz1 View Post
How can a country favor a company out of the way? Think about what you are objecting to?
FTA's happen between countries, and not between a country and a company. Is that hard to understand?
Just for example, a route opened mainly for Harley's, was used by Yamaha, Honda, etc. to get their Litres in India.
Secondly, Your taunt about the phone is personal and immature. Post one more bad reply and you're ignored instantly, without any comment...---

I think sometime around the same time, the 800cc rule has come.(I could be wrong though, but HD doesnt have any bike less than 800cc. Keep the buell aside)Originally posted by biker boy View Post
Something similar happened with Thailand, the Free Trade Agreement(FTA). Are the bikes included in it?? Oh! I think the auto components are included.Originally posted by Samarth 619 View Post
Yes, the duties on other bikes should also reduce, at least for the American Companies!!Originally posted by tanay View PostCheap and Reliable is not Fast, Cheap and Fast is not Reliable, Fast and Reliable is not Cheap!Comment
