Recommendation which moto to buy

[ZMC888]

I discussed this elsewhere in MCM...
...the MSRP for the Dukes made in India is about a third of the MSRP in PRC. Me thinks this is related to the Dukes being assembled from CKD kits imported from the Indian factory, which likely results in still 30-40% [ASEAN] import duties and taxes, rather than a truly wholly manufactured PRC bike. Just a guess...

40,000 is fair, and for that price they'd sell a lot. I think parts are taxed at 20% when imported.

50,000 is just too much. I think some people are getting greedy for scared. Someone probably thinks that KTM are a 'premium European product like BMW' and want the price to reflect that. Or they are worried that at 40,000 they would kill off much of the demand for the 650NK, BN600 etc.

However if it's made in India and assembled in China I struggle to see the 'premiumness'. Even though 20,000 more a Thai made Honda CB500 is probably better value, as its going to be better manufactured and better assembled.
