Culprit for Pakistan's bikes?

[dashing.adi.3]

I totally agree. the bikes we are using are of 1980, thy should be upgraded / modernize. even we don't have options to buy bikes in pakistan (zero meter) as they are all the same as they were. even if we import some so the duty is 300%, the govt. policies sucks and we have to face so many difficulties in importing. there is no way you can import the bike without giving any bribe to importers and agents (govt) then far the registration process is damn slow. India is making amazing bikes and cars too. no doubt their economy is far good then Pakistan but their import duty is too low then ours. Its all the game of money in Pakistan. we only dream of good bikes in an economical way due to money eater lobby here.

Now our Bikes Industry has started to grow up. Inshallah in near future we will see more brand with competitive prices rather than Honda, Suzuki. Yamaha has already launched YBR. Before that we experienced with Ravi Piaggio. And now Road prince has launched its two model 125 and 150cc as well. Its the beginning..!
