Indian Biking Scene...Contd.
Once the infrastructure is ready for the products that the biking enthusiasts demand for, then India would one of the best automobile segment in the world. So to get to this place there are lot of efforts from everywhere,right from the concerned authorities to the common person who is gonna use these products. Also there should be laws made strict and people should abide by the laws imposed. Its not that easy to control people with high end machines to go freely around the country.. People should think both in positive and negative aspects for the products. Positive being people get high quality top noch machines for their needs. Negative being these machines can be used for wrong intentions. One among them being the situations from the Dhoom movie wherein robbers run away from law using these powerful vehicles. Getting high end powerful vehicles can be practical. But imagine if their is no proper law to handle and control them, then it becomes huge issue in maintaining the law and order. People should just not blame the biking scene in India,as to not picking up pretty fast. Its not big deal getting bike into India, but government has to see all possible situations to control some unexpected events as I mentioned above. Why do you think ARAI is there and why it is not allowing high power, high speed vehicles to flourish in India? Lot of people are sensible riders/bikers, but not all. Imagine handing over a R1 or Suzuki 1000R to a person who uses TVS 50 as a supersport vehicle(who races with pulsar or higher bikes on streets with TVS 50) in city. What is the guarantee that he would be disciplined in riding the huge machine? With Power comes responsibility!!!! Thats where I am afraid of people who don't bother about the last word in my last sentence when they are out in the street.
All these considerations delay the authorities to process the petitions given by bike majors to introduce the vehicles(top end). People shouldn't blame authorities just for the sake of blaming them. Its their responsibility. This doesn't mean that I am not willing to see these bikes as soon as possible on the road. I am just like any other biking enthusiast expecting to lay hands on all beautiful piece of machineries. But when I see the practical aspect in it, I get all these thoughts in my mind. But still I pray for the growth of Biking segment as fast as it could and inturn pray that India becomes infrastructurally potential to take on these products easily.
Its again a place wherein I cannot change the biking scene just being myself. It should be a collective effort and people should become more mature and sensible.The GenX should be so disciplined, it wont be too far for everything to change into whatever we are dreaming about India to be.....One of the Top nations (economic wise)!!

Indian biking scenario
India!!! In school days group of people used to tell what INDIA means!! I Never Delay In Action (INDIA)!!! It might sound weird and we used to just use these decriptions to describe about the capacity of India in all fields of economic growth!! This happened around 11 years back. When I remember it again today, I feel that India is holding on to this description very well. But is this pace enough for the full growth that our country is expected to achieve? Of course there are different fields which constitute a part in the overall growth of the nation. And Automobile is one such segment which has seen so much growth in the past few years. In a country like ours where every common man wishes to have a Motorcycle of his own, the biking market is a vital segment. There were days when I was not exposed to the Higher powerfull bikes available all around the world. But then i had only seen scoots and luna's in the Indian motorcycle scene(again many years back). But once I see the same segment as of today, it has grown by many folds and is gaining International recognition. Although the pioneer in bringing in the International interest to India is the Car manufacturers, as a Bike enthusiast I wouldnt deny the contribution of the motorcycle segment for this growth. With the GenX getting more and more info about the technologies available and the number of Bike enthusiasts growing day by day, the manufacturers are feeling the demand of growth. With introducing the latest tech along with their products to cater to the needs of such biking enthusiasts, the biking scene in India is in a phase where in lot of change in the facelift is happening. This is quite evident from the fact that all the Bike majors are trying to get hold of the piece of pie in the Indian biking market.
Most of the people dont seem to be much excited to know about this as they feel that in practical reality there is not enough infrastructure in India to make use of this biking revolution(so called) potential. But what I infact feel is there are two ways to any kind of theory
1) Create the infrastrucutre and then produce the products that will be in sync with the infrastructure.
2) Produce the products and then make the infrastructure to be in sync with the products.
Either way the target is met.
