The price of the Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 is expected to be a premium one when it arrives in India. However, this pricing strategy seems questionable in a market where value for money is a premium. High end components, advanced technology and unique styling are all promised, but the bike will almost certainly be much more costly than most of the best selling models in the country. The question is whether Indian motorcycle fans are willing to spend extra for these features or whether the price will be too high for widespread adoption. In this discussion brand prestige, performance and exclusivity are compared against affordability and practicality.
