Many countries have severe import duties which can increase the price dramatically. In Ecuador, the import duty for cars and motorcycles is about 100%. A Chevy Camaro costs $60,000 ! The CBR250 will be $9,000. Needless to say, you don't see many American built cars or Japanese motorcycles in Ecuador. India will actually have a better price on the CBR250R than here in the U.S. due to the fact that the bike is manufactured in India. The Kawasaki will have a severe pricing disadvantage because they are imported from Japan or Thailand.......
