The article seems to indicate that they are being assembled for sale in India much like, as tater said, Honda and Toyota assemble their cars in North American plants for sale in North America; they don't ship them back to Japan for sale there. It wouldn't make financial sense to make the parts in America, ship them all the way to India for assembly and then ship the bikes all the way back to America for sale. You lose a lot of money that way, as it is cheaper to ship parts than it is to ship bikes. Hence the reason for the Indian plants.
