Gujarat cops to get 20 imported superbikes

[wolfschanzze]

In principle I agree to a lot you have to say.

Its just that Harleys suck.

Gujarat government should spend on a proper bike.

Bhai,kabootar(pigeon) pakadne ke liye daane phekne padte hai,Aisa hi hai Brand Marketing, China waale bhi yehi karte hai bada mega project ka naam har desh mein dankaa pitega, jhuggi jhopdi se A/C pakka roof wale ghar upgrade hone ka news koi bhi duniya mein care nahi karta.This is Brand image makeover,gujjus understand this very well.Baaki saare states seekho unse.
If a gujarat Govt. is spending for 20 superbikes, they have are going to attract investment more than that in future due to brand marketing,nobody comes to a shabby summit.Thats the truth and human nature.
Gujju aur paisa waste karna, yeh toh hazam nahi hota hai bhai .
Aur iddhar hamare log pehle se hi ek kilo rice ka 40 lakhs ke hisaab kar rahe hai, arre, pagle, 40 lakh kharch kiya lekin 400 crore investment to waapis laya na state ko?
Yeh in logon ki dimaag mein kyon nahin aati?
Chandra Babu Naidu is one such brand Marketer like Modi and gujjus and see how developed Andhra Pradesh is.

Harley might suck atleast better than costly BMW.yeh poora marketing hai bhai.

The bikes are parked in a 'no parking' area, for crying out loud!!!! WTF?

 

[wolfschanzze]

Oh phaleeez!
They could 've purchased it in Delhi which is frequented by delegates... thats all I meant.

This summit isn't being held in Delhi,its being held in Gujarat and Gujarat Govt. is spending that money,
when will you understand brand marketing? Americans do it like no one else.
Chandra Babu Naidu did it well in Andhra Pradesh he got Microsoft and all IT companies to Hyderabad and even tried attracting F1 race in hyderabad for that he made many five star hotels and stadiums and inaugurated the first Afro-Asian games to show the F1 and other nations he can handle such events.In the end AP got massive Investments from foreign Companies, while Mamata Banerjee kicked out the sole company TATA NANO who dared to Invest in WB where none would dare.
That is the difference between thinking big and long term and thinking small and short term benefits.
No one will come to invest in your state if they are not sure if you can handle such investment or have the capability to do so.
Everyone needs visual proof and assurance that is how the world works.Even you will ask for Guarantee and Warranty even if you buy a small thing, that is called Image marketing.
There is a saying "Jo dikhta hai, woh bikhta hai".
Why is a simple gucci shirt so overpriced when you can buy the same material,design shirt at 1/10 cost outside if you remove the Gucci brand?Its called brand marketing.

@wolfschanzze I am beginning to see your point.

The choice of the Street is most apt for Midi ji's message of Make in India. In fact it is tailor-made.

The Street is actually a nice bike. Good motor. But sadly too small.

Woh theek hai, lekin Foreign Dignitaries ko kya maloom Street Bike ka brand image kya hai?
Woh yehi sochega ki koi desi bike hai a ripoff.
When you invite a guest you treat them with the best and they also reciprocate,when your Idea is attracting investment, you should show you have the best with you.
Its not like every Policeman in the west Drives a Maseratti or a Ferrari its all about Image.

The investment that comes from outside will then be made use for "make in India" .
No image, no investment, no Investment, no "Make in India".

Coffee tastes better when shared.

You dont give up do you??

Don't be a chindhi kanyaan. You don't buy an elephant and feed it peanuts. Buy an Alto instead.

I'm happy with my camry.

Except for the turning radius, its a lot more stable and poised than the rocking boat Scorpio for sure.
The Scorpio is an overgrown jeep and in terms of size class is a whole class segment below a full size SUV like the Safari. The fact that you would compare the two means something.

I didnot want to make it a tata vs scorpio thread.
But tata safari does 've issues with its power steering and brake system too.I can go on and on but I'll refrain.

The after sales is hugely improved. See the JD Power surveys of this year. Better than many of the MNC brands as well.

Lack of readily available spare parts and other issues 're often reported if you dont know.

Its basically reverse racism to talk down our own brands and take crap at gold prices from the firangs.

I did not!
You've misconstrued my post. I just said we dont need such expensive bikes, even the local CBZ or pulsars or whatever bike brands 're available in India could 've been used for the same purpose by Gujarat govt.

Aur iddhar hamare log pehle se hi ek kilo rice ka 40 lakhs ke hisaab kar rahe hai, arre, pagle, 40 lakh kharch kiya lekin 400 crore investment to waapis laya na state ko?

If you really want that kinda investment in India then better clean up the place rather than buying such expensive bikes, Sri lanka attracts more tourists not because their cops use Harley davidsons or BMW bikes but because it looks so much cleaner than India.

And jinko aate-daal ka bhaav nahi maalum unko 40 lakhs ka hisaab ajeeb hi lagega. I'm not surprised!!!

My point was that the world over the Street is looked at (often with racist barbs from the Western bigots) as an "Indian" Harley.

Not so the Iron or the other 750-883 cc models. Which are still looked on as American, albeit "girlie" Harleys.

@levina are you really a girl?

Are you a Bikerni?

srilankan police have land rovers in their inventory.....n who said cleanliness is not being done.....looks like u have no idea about xinping n his visit to the river front . And srilanka does not attract more tourists than india.

I say...scrap mangalyaan....more rice will b there to feed

n no more bmw for our pm.....we need more rice

 

[third eye]

What about nation splurging with 20 billion on Rafale?

The fact that a comparison is being made between AF aircrafts & police bikes indicates that a post like this deserves no reply.

No I'm not a girl!!!
Lolzz

have you run out of arguments that you made such a vacuous post???

And srilanka does not attract more tourists than india.

Of course not!!
We get more tourists but Sri Lanka gets better reviews.
Mohit verma you better go and check out some travel sites and read the reviews.

I say...scrap mangalyaan....more rice will b there to feed

No need to bring in Mangalyaan, which every Indian is proud of and lets not forget its shoe string budget.

yeah both are not comparable.......but wats more stupid is to say that these bikes are a waste of money and all the dignitaries in vibrant guj. will be escorted by pulsar or discover

 

[doppelganger]

No I'm not a girl!!!

have you run out of arguments that you made such a vacuous post???

I have a very finely tuned chick radar, and no chick I know speaks about Safaris and Scorpios and is aware of Safari Scorpio blood feuds and knows there are bikes called CBZ and Pulsars (with the red herring other such bikes added at the end being even more of a red flag).

Sorry, coffee canceled.

 

[Echo_419]

Waste of public money - Royal Enfield could have worked - here in UP - police officers are given Bajaj Pulsar and Yamaha FZ - they are more than enough for paroling for the "super cops".

Indeed this is complete waste of money

1) Srilankan and Indian tourism can not be compared.......look at the land mass and diversity.
Still the rate of foreigners deciding to stay in india is more than in srilanka.

2) Ofcrse cant compare Mangalyaan, but if u want top automobile companies to make in india, you need to make sure to them that our market is capable of handling their products. How else are u expecting harley to manufacture and sell in india....which will in turn not only add to our growing living standard and gdp, but will also provide jobs

3) Big CEOs/dignitaries are coming to gujarat like Zuckerberg , bill gates, ceo of dell, etc etc...tat too in my college which is a venue for vibrant guj......dont u think that everything shld be perfect and worldclass if top business leader are going to visit u....???
