Taiwan has over 100% import taxes on these high end bikes.
So end prices could be reflecting international prices + taxes. From what I understand none of the other dominant players have manufacturing base here.
This is a good read for more details http://topics.amcham.com.tw/2015/04/big-bikes-remain-a-niche-market-in-taiwan/
One peculiar thing here is, the highways/expressways don't allow bikes lesser than 250 cc and the commuter segment is still dominated by 125-150cc bikes. So ppl who travel long distance in city have an incentive to upgrade to 255+cc bikes and use the expressways to cut down much of the high traffic routes.
