First time I have ever heard anyone compare an Indian Bullet frame to the likes of an airframe. The material used and the stresses might be a little different.The speeds involved and the possible impact situations are miles apart but if you feel the need to strengthen it by all means go ahead

True, but an airframe doesn't actually know how fast it's going. "G" loading counts and other usage cycles such as landings and pressurisation go into the equation. The airframe that I consider my "office" has an inspection of some parts of the airframe every 25 hours and many others in multiples of that. The engines and other major components have their own "lives" before overhaul or replacement is needed.
