They do implement Export sales tax for CBU out from India...

That's why RE build a ckd factory in Thai...

Aside from that.. Chear hardly giving affordable price for their bikes.. but that's yesterday story .. let see Gasket Alley how much they will position the pricing..

first batch group buy can get interceptor 31k haha. but limited unit and all sold out.

The comparison also applies with Honda X-ADV...its less than 60hp but the price is around 70k+

which obviously you can get other bikes with more horses when reaching that price bracket.

Malaysian buyers (mostly) do have concerns about their bike performance, after all, we in this region are the only one that has an "autobahn" like highway stretching within the peninsula... not soo much about fuel economy, but hey when it comes to big bike who cares about fuel economy? because I've seen many Thai big bike riders ride like maniacs on their Route 12 road or those Pinoys blasting through their EDSA Highway in Manila with their more than 400cc bikes

As long the buyer is happy with their decision.. by all means, do get the RE..

RE wants to be as authentic as the 50s that's why made the engine as is..

worry not, they use a rubber gasket for the cylinder valve cover so no need to buy a new gasket every time they do clearance..
