An Indian Perspective

[F=MA]

The Hayabusa recently became available in India. Here's a video I stumbled across of a test ride.

This is a country where >99% of motorcycles are at or less than 350cc.

b.t.w. 12.5 lakh is rougly $25k U.S.

We used to have a member from India who posted all the time. Anybody heard from Shenoyp?

[StromBusa]

I think he liked it

[HillbillyTom]

I wonder how many people in India can afford a $25K US motorcycle. I have always heard that India was a very poor country.
Guess like everywhere, there are always a few "haves" amongst the masses of "have nots".

[StromBusa]

Prolly the tougher part is finding some open road.

[Blazing-Saddle]

That was different...

[busakidaz]

[aussiekeeper]

[Temeraire]

India as a whole is poor when compared to the U.S. - though they're relatively wealthy when compared to neighbor Nepal.

Keep in mind though if just 10% of 1.3 billion Indians are wealthy we're talking about 130 million people...about 40% of the population of the U.S.

Accident of birth...in India, this is the difference between the person who is going to live in this "house", and the people you see building it.
