From a market perspective, this is a truly symbolic picture. What the numbers show is the fact that Indian manufacturers are now seriously moving into mature Latin American markets, not just their home turf. A target of 180,000 units is far from modest. Armed with cost-performance and reliability toughened in India and Southeast Asia, the world's balance of power is shifting.

Displacement around N UG 250 level seems just right for touring too.

True, feels like a size that could handle everything from commuting to long rides.

So it's going after the Ityrica on value, huh - wonder how big the price gap is.

A bit of a letdown that the article doesn't cover that part.

Bajaj's whole weapon is price competitiveness in emerging markets, should work in Mexico too.

Would love to see the Pulsar N UG250 in the North American market too. Nice design on it.

180k units as a target is a pretty bold number. Wonder how they're tracking against it right now.

Don't think cracking Ityrica's stronghold is gonna be easy, their footing in Mexico is way too strong.
