Although I have discussed many points related different engines and their advantages and disadvantages over one another, now the question is why CI engines have stopped.
Well the answer to this question, there is not only one reason but many which are as follows:-
1-The right side position of gears and left side position of brakes tends to new people walk away from bullets.
2- The Indian motorcycle market started growing and people started getting many choices in lesser price ranges.
3- The maintenance of bullets a bit on higher side.
4- The problems eg- oil leakage, gasket problems etc. were the headache in price sensitive market.
5- Pollution norms also a point which could not be neglected.
5- Pollution norms also a point which could not be neglected.
Actually the fact is at that time too, bullet was only for the hobbyist ones but they are very few, thus sales was less and this all because of the design, weight, cost, maintenance and riding ergonomics(placement of gears and brakes) of the motorcycle.
In Indian market as fuel pricing go high and higher the competition launches more economical motorcycles at cheaper prices, in 2007 RE was about to buried but then they introduced UCE engines and from then to till now you go to buy a RE you have to face a long waiting period.
