People have subservience to high mileage, minimum fuel and minimum maintenance costs. The roads are not crisp enough to support foreign bikes and thus Yamaha bikes price will be much more as compared to the Indian origin bikes.

So, bikes price in India will show varying parameters with most people going for the likes of Hero Honda, Bajaj, TVS and Mahindra which gives a standard speed with minimum fuel usage. The market revenue comes into play here and it reflects the feasibility of high-end bikes on Indian roads.
