I dont care about indian bike makers any more. the only high capacity ones are made by an ageing manufacturer and there are plenty of idiots who want to be macho hence they buy the RE’s. Likewise RE know that such fools are there in this country might as well milk the cow.

On the other hand suzuki and hh and yamaha want to concentrate on this <150 segment where it is already saturated with models.. who cares if you buy a discover or zeus or alba.. if i were to buy a commuter i would buy the cheapest 100 around!

Its like everyone knows you are a cheapskate.. if you wear a coat you will not look rich or more successful.. you will only look like a foolish cheapskate.

The problem is with us not the manufacturers, we have a market where imports are virtually banned with very high taxation and on other hand a very tight market where money is difficult to make, this two together made companies go crazy and just they are making cosmetic mods not real mods, I think the best bike so far made in India is Karizma which is original Honda clone, its nice to ride, the other one is Yamaha R15 which is also a real nice one with liquid cooled engine, apart from this Kawasaki Ninja is also nice but why do not they localize more components and make it huge business, answer is companies are busy in addressing and designing top end and business fundamentals are not that great to enter Indian market in full swing for mass market.
