lol suicide i tell you.. they obviously are not gonna price it cheap. probably like someone said sell them like fiat 500 or vw beetle. i see no market for them, today's generation grew up on pulsars they have no interest in geared scooters. gearless sells just for its conveniences. unless they think they can tap into the 50+ age group which now rides all the platinas and splendours !! or i could be totally wrong !
i like their design, would love to admire them but dont think i would ride them.
Regardless, Life shall go on.Comment

Yes, they do look classy. To you and me. But rarely have I found that what you and I like go on to determine market trends or sales! I am talking India specific of course. These Vespa sell like hot cakes amongst the paparazzi in Europe!Originally posted by payeng View PostTrue, but maybe with proper pricing, it might not be bad idea.
I had learnt to ride a two wheeler on my dad's chetak. Maybe I can gift him a vespa. Moreover those Vespa scoots look kinda classy actually.
The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

it does look cute.If priced right and mechanically sound,I'm sure it'll find takers.Atleast the fairer sex will like it IMO.In India,pricing plays a major role and even if they get it right,moving ppl away from honda is quite a hectic job.It all begins with a thumb-start -- Oh, wait, I forgot the kill-switchComment

To me that's a positioning (emotional, classy - retro scooter card) which even Honda cannot play.Originally posted by satyenpoojary View Post
Competing with the Honda scooters for the mass market would be a tall order. TVS, Suzuki, Hero Honda and Mahindra Scooters are trying to do just that.
Playing to a niche "classy - retro" crowd can't be a bad idea. If priced resonably, I wouldn't mind getting one for myself.
