Exactly. See what ours make and then see what yours do. They are not even on the same playing field. Your bikes are possibly even more pathetic than the ones you see in the hinterlands of the most impoverished war ravaged African countries. Think about that.
Nonsense. The Japs came here in the 80s in tie-ups with Indian players. Over time the Indian players bought off their share in the venture along with licenses and technology and forayed out on their own, de-linking their names from the Japs. All of this was 100% private enterprise and nowhere was the government involved (do not confuse bikes with Maruti). Today Indian companies are buying foreign companies, with tooling and technology and know-how and making in India. The Jap players are now fringe players in India with the exception of Honda. Kawasaki has a marketing tie-up with Bajaj for some of their expensive imports. Suzuki has forayed out on their own in India now, without TVS. TVS on its part is now on its own and has been so for close to two decades now. Same with Bajaj with Kawasaki. Escorts now continues to make tractors and shockers. No link with Yamaha anymore, who have now developed their own brand in India. Honda are big in scooters and bikes, again without Hero. Hero on its part continues to manufacture and sell old Honda tech bikes, with small tech changes and big stickering ones. Bajaj now owns KTM, an Austrian brand, and develops smaller capacity bikes together with KTM at their plant in Chakan in Pune. And KTM on its side now owns Swedish brand Hsquvarna. These bikes are sold across the Western world, at prices 3+ times higher than what we Indians enjoy. BMW will soon be in a tie-up with TVS. We have Chinese-owned Italian marque Benelli coming in with a tie-up with DSK. Triumph and BMW and Harley are here on their own. Indian is entering as well. Ducati was there till recently as well. As is Aprilia.
Welcome to the world of modern business with a growing Indian footprint. Keep enjoying your last century mopeds and talking big on the internet, while we race on bigger and better bikes and catch up with the West. On our own rupee, making it in India, for the world.
Indian psychology is to get maximum bang for buck. And pay and buy and finally own.
Pakistan psychology is to talk big, with a moped in the garage carrying 5 people and 7 milk cans, with assorted goats and chickens gratis.
Modern Bullets have seen 3 engine changes in the past decade. Regardless, the "1940s pig" till when it was still being manufactured in Chennai was lapped up by generations of Indian (including the Indian Army) as well as bike enthusiasts around the Western world.
And it was and still is a lot more bike than anything your country makes. That's the simple truth. So keep crying that the grapes are sour. Who cares?
What's your point? That Pakistanis have money to import foreign bikes?
One Indian city would have more imports than the rest of Pakistan put together. Really, seriously, put the little nub away. There's isn't enough to even pinch, leave alone wave around.
