According to a report by leading auto magazine BIKE INDIA
Yamaha wants to achieve its target of capturing 10% market share in the coming years by riding on volumes. The Japanese bike maker has been successful in capturing the imagination of the youth by producing performance oriented bikes likes the R15 and FZ series. The firm now wants to introduce new models that would excite the masses who are looking for a reliable commuter bike.
The first bike is the
Yamaha YBR , which is loosely based on the Alba. Going by the size and look of the engine it probably will be the 106cc mill used in the Alba, G5 and Crux with a slightly different state of tune. The bike would deliver around 65-70 kmpl and would have a sticker price of Rs 45,000 approx. It has a utilitarian design with a rear carrier and very basic styling. This bike would be targeted mostly at the rural areas and the entry level segment. The accurate figures can only be confirmed once the bike gets into production.
The other interesting bike is
Yamaha SZ . The bike is aimed to deliver power with comfort and might sport the 123.7cc engine from the Gladiator range. Obviously seeking buyers who are looking for more out of their commuter bikes. So what they get is more power, comfort and styling. The bike has a nice and beefy front fairing, racy paint/graphics and sporty rear styling with a bold exhaust. However, the concept sans the disc brakes could mean that it would be aggressively priced. Though we hope to see a disc brake variant as well. The fuel economy should touch the 65 kmpl mark and the bike could be offered between Rs 50,000 to Rs 55,000.

Yamaha Motor India aims not only to sell its bikes; it also envisions creating a new generation of responsible riders. After achieving unprecedented success in Delhi, Nagpur and Mumbai, the Yamaha Safety Riding Science training event made its way to the idyllic beaches of Goa. Introduced by Yamaha Motor India to impart safe riding techniques and help contribute to an accident-free traffic environment, the event was attended by more than 100 enthusiastic bikers, most of them students. The programme was divided into two sections - a classroom session and a practical session wherein three practical skills were taught including slow balancing, slalom and braking. Yamaha has also prepared a short film, in which it has scientifically analyzed impact force, inertia force and frictional force from a road traffic viewpoint.
In other news, Yamaha and BIGADDA are presenting the India Bike Rally in an endeavour to offer bike enthusiasts from across the country an opportunity to explore different cities and villages and in the process, discover the real India, on Yamaha bikes.

The Maharashtra Government is not impressed with the bland looking bikes used by the Mumbai Police. Forget speed, style is the new mantra for Aamchi Mumbai’s Police force who want nothing but the stylish Yamaha FZ-S.
Thus the government plans to arm our city cops with 500 new bikes which will not only make them slightly faster but alot cooler too. The main reason for procurement of the bikes is the imitation of Europen and American police forces who have tool kits, walkie-talkie, ammunition, etc on board with them.
