Never quite appreciated the Hayabusa, against the others ... my riding style or the first bad experience may be. GSXR-1000 will win my thoughts on the Suzuki Motorcycles .... if Rossi had not moved on to Ducati ... I may have thought of getting one... 1198R saving to get one and definitely glad I will not be buying this in India.
Suzuki or Yamaha don't depend on India for revenues on their bikes so they can test out their super expensive ones here. When they get serious and want to make their presence felt everywhere, they will follow Honda's footsteps by investing on local plants and cheaper bikes. TVS and Bajaj are heavily india centric in their approach so they will milk their cash cows (read Indian consumer). No country sacrifices the locally grown companies in favour of foreign ones.

If you half a brain Suzuki has been in India in the form of TVS Suzuki's and just cuz someone wants to have a presence in India does not always mean it has to be cheaper.
Yamaha has been around for decades in India and what testing out on our market are talking about and what super expensive bikes.
What a shame we have to pay 114% on these bikes to purchase them. imagine 6L in India for a Busa. Now we pay 6.5L for a 650 Hyosung. Thoooo to Bajaj family and TVS crooks depriving us of quality bikes and influencing government to make such import policies.
