True...people here in pak are excited with name of these brands but they don't buy em...Japanese Motorcycles are however very common so are the parts and relevant shops/mechanics e.t.c also to be noted is that people here want "that sound" 3/4 cylinder typical sound with higher revs..and loads of plastic on their motorbikes to stand out in the crowd ...European Motorcycles such as Ducati, Triumph are not as common as they should be, but that also reveals our demand/supply habits.. we don't buy em so we don't get the parts either..
However i find twins relevantly easy to work with rather than 3/4 cylinder bikes + twins are torquey and have their particular sound !
