Gliff, Its the feeling you get when you buy something you really want to keep for a long time and a new version rolls out just a week of your purchase. I think thats what Prathap is trying to comunicate.
Trust me, it is a terrible feeling. I felt terrible when I bought a brand new pulsar 180 classic in March 2003 and there was DTSI announced 6 months down the line to be launched in November. While it sure is good for the new buyers, it does not feel so happening with the existing customers. I dont intend to offend anyone, but when they came with something new each year, it only gave me the impression that BAL does this intentionally to retain / strengthen their market share with each upgrade in addition to the known fact that they have partly used customers for 'testing' their R&D too. Remember, other makers launch a varient and continue it for a couple of years atleast. BAL's strategy depreciates a vehicle too quickly. They ought to be more considerate to existing customers. I'm always open to a peaceful discussion and even changing my opinion should I read some solid facts that I never knew about.
