Piaggio will be conducting a market research in India before it can make plans to bring a 300-400 cc scooter with a revolutionary concept for the consumers.

Ankita KatdareMost people won't like the looks of that scooter. India has maximum number of budget-friendly consumers. Not sure if they can create such a super-premium segment.
