Has anyone put together a fly and ride program to bring the first bikes made back to the USA?
There could be issues...no more than typical, but hopefully less.
KTM is ahead of the curve on their 300cc + built in India shipped to NA models by two years...why would their be issues?
And if the G310 is anywhere close to the fun factor of the Duke 390, it should be a big seller

I bought a KTM 390 Duke this spring. The quality is good and the bike is a gas to ride.
QC issues abound globally, nothing new for BMW , just another country in the mix. The G650 engines from China come to mind. Don't hear about issues on them often.
As long as the product is priced according to the fabrication costs, it's a fair deal. Will I pay more the BMW product from India than some other brand from India, that's an open question. If both bikes perform similarly, they lower cost one would be the rational choice.
Have you ridden a Royal Enfield lately?
No I haven't. Why do you ask?Have you ridden a Royal Enfield lately?

I wasn't implying anything mika.
I trully wanted more clarification nothing more. I profess ignorance on the Enfield. I find it interesting how quality, whether perceived or real, seems to wander and occasionally pop up where you wouldn't expect it. I was reading an entirely differant subject today where the author made the connection between quality of goods to interest rates, and part of a broader economic cycle. The struggle for both profit margins and quality always rages. I find it interesting.
If these new products are on-par with the India-sourced BMW for build quality, then you would have to select based on price, in my opinion.
I think I'd make my decision based on which bike I liked more.
Now hold on there a second!...that is totally an incorrect way to narrow a purchase down around here
