To understand this, let’s take a basic example of a buyer who owns a Harley Davidson bike. This buyer will never go to buy a Hero MotoCorp bike (exceptions are always there) because he/she knows the premium quality of parts that are assembled in Harley and most importantly the feel & experience that he/she gets while driving that bike.
