R25 for sure is heading to India, but now news comes out that the CBR300 will be heading to India in November. One has to wonder if Yamaha won't simply match that with the R3? I mean the R25 will already clean the 300's clock, but marketing is marketing

I wouldn't doubt it since there are rich area in India that wants them. Also it's good news for us because it will pressure Yamaha to get that R3 out quicker to compete lol.

I haven't actually heard of bikes being manufactured in India having worse quality. i think that is just a stereotype that we project onto places that aren't more Western in their culture. Besides they could have more than one factory building the bikes. An Indian factory for the East and another factory in Europe or North America for the West.

I am pretty sure that when they are about to make the R3 they engine will probably be made in Japan. Most likely, some parts of the frame and so fourth will be made japan and india.
