Please take up another topic of relevance : Will any Indian Two Wheeler maker EVER attempt to create a 600-800 cc multi-cylinder (3 or 4 cylinders) sports naked or super sports kind of motorcycle? India is the largest 2W market of the world by numbers and even if we count the absolute monetary value, probably it will come within the top-3 if not the top. However, there is no attempt from Indian brands like Bajaj, TVS to build a multicylinder high performance motorcycles. Chinese brand CFMoto is trying hard - they have a diluted Daytona like 675 cc inline triple model which is made in China... Why can't Indian brands take a different philosophy somewhat like the BIMOTA brand where they could possibly take the engine from some reputed brand such as Kawasaki or Suzuki and build everything else locally? On the other hand, Japanese brands like Honda and Suzuki are selling lower and lower end vehicles and just boosting volumes - Yamaha is simply not knowing what to do in India while Kawasaki seems the only one trying to bring the high performance products to India at a relatively better price point than any other brand.
