That looks too organised and staged to be a spontaneous protest from a few Indian bikers.
Let's guess... The Indian bike manufacturers and market (which I'd guess largely supplies it's own populace) is hurting because they're being swamped by even cheaper Chinese bikes made by political prisoners out of recycled WTC beams and green cheese. Globalisation it seems isn't such a good force when you're on the receiving end, and you thought you were on to a good thing because you could undercut all the fat lazy workers elsewhere, but are now undercut by your neighbours, who will work for even less in factory conditions of near slavery.
What goes around comes around and we all learn to suffer in the race to the bottom. ____________________ Prize cunt

Biggest you can get in the UK at the moment is the Lifan LF400, a nut-and-bolt clone of the XV400 Virago/Dragstar - the 535 with smaller pistons and sleeved cylinders. They got good reviews and their owners like them - a couple of chaps did London to John O' Groats and back straight out of the crate, no problems.
There's no reason that the Chinese can't make decent bigger bikes. There's nothing magical about Japanese-branded bikes, most of which are made in China, Korea, India, Brazil and Spain anyway. But I wouldn't want to be the first UK buyer to try one out and find that they've cheaped out on the welds or bearings.
Also, given the track record of UK Chinese-branded dealers, any warranty you get would be a "if we feel like it" version. They change names and brands at the drop of a hat., hardly the way to build brand loyalty.
Good point about Hyosungs - who on earth buys a brand new Hyosung just to save a couple of hundred £££ on a SV650, knowing they'll get shagged on the resale? I'd try a used one, but I'd worry that anyone cheap enough to buy them new is probably too cheap to look after them. |
