| 2009 Yamaha R1 | | 2008-07-12 18:02:00 | | In 2008, Yamaha’s YZF-R1 reached the 10-year anniversary of its introduction. In 1998 the 150-horsepower R1 was nothing less than revolution. While being more vicious than the rest, it left the 143-horsepower 1998 Kawasaki ZX-9R for dead. Honda and Suzuki were nowhere near and got caught with their pants down.

| Yamaha? Who Yamaha? | | 2008-07-01 01:27:00 | | 50% dip in sales in Jan ’07; what next...The sheer mention of the name ‘Yamaha’ induces a feeling of excitement and enthusiasm among the bike-lovers around the world. Yamaha ostentatiously stands at the number two position in the twowheeler segment and number one in the scooter market all across the world. Though Yamaha came into India long back in the mid 80s, it still hasn’t been able to mark a dent in the ever growing Indian markets. It doesn’t come as a matter of surprise that Yamaha’s market share in the country is pitiably low at 3%. The company, whose initial foray with its model RX100 was good, got hit badly in the four-stroke market. According to Ishikawa, MD, Yamaha, “There was a gap between what the Indian customer wanted from us and in turn what we gave them. The company got caught in the volumes game.” Yamaha, after suffering losses since 2001 in India, saw a tremendous dip in its sales figures by 50% in January 2007.

| Take a royal ride on the Yamaha Majesty | | 2008-05-05 01:29:00 | | If scooters could talk, they'd probably spout the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield's line about not getting any respect. No one casts admiring glances their way. In fact, some bikers even seem to sneer at them, but that hasn't stopped sales from rocketing through the roof.In cities such as Tokyo, where parking and operating costs make car ownership impractical or impossible for many people, scooters are the next best thing. They have car-like qualities — good protection from the elements, cavernous built-in storage and automatic transmissions; but running costs are cheap thanks to decent fuel economy, low annual taxes and — if they're 250cc or smaller — no pricey biannual vehicle inspection.With scooters accounting for a whopping 60 percent of sales of bikes 250cc and bigger in Japan, Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki duke it out year after year for a larger share of this lucrative market. And in gizmo-crazy Japan, the key to sales success is constant innovation.Bristling with gadgetry an | | By: Auto Blog India by Infibeam | | |

| 2007 Tokyo Motor Show: XS-V1 Sakura, YAMAHA'S RETRO ROADSTER | | 2007-10-23 15:34:00 | | Yamaha just gives out detail of its XS-V1 Sakura prototype, a retro roadster at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show.The Sakura XS-V1 looks very similar to the SRV 250/400cc V-twin cafe racer machine from the early 90s, produced for the Japan only market, but uses a 1000cc V-Twin engine.It's possible that the Bulldog 1100 might make a good donor bike in this regard if the Sakura goes into production.Jump to read the Yamaha Japan press statement"We will display the “XS-V1 Sakura” (special exhibition model / prototype) as a symbol of our long-nurtured corporate philosophy. This is a V-twin sport model with a look of “Japanese style” in the image of Yamaha’s first 4-stroke model, the XS-1 (650cc), released in 1970.Its design is full of XS-1 DNA, in its simplicity and functional beauty and finds new refinement in a retro-modern aesthetic. It is a model that proposes a very Yamaha and very Japanese vision of premium motorcycling life, bringing together the unique characteristics of a 1,000cc air-cooled, V-twin model with its strong pulse feeling and easy-going running performance in a finely crafted body that is lightweight and slim and defined by a low seat height. 2007 Tokyo Motor Show Previews and Spyshot:+ BMW 2008 M3 Saloon Unveiled at 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, Video, Pics+ Toyota Brings Nine Concepts To 2007 Tokyo Motor Show+ 2007 Tokyo Motor Show Cars: Toyota Crown Hybrid Concept+ 2007 Tokyo Auto Show: Suzuki Concept Kizashi 2+ Mazda Taiki Concept, 2007 Tokyo Motor Show Preview Cars+ Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X More Official Image Gallery Details+ 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI to Reveal on 2007 Tokyo Motor Show+ Nissan's 2009 GT-R global website goes live+ Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, 2007 Tokyo Motor Show Preview+ 2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R Ready To Rock 2007 Tokyo Motor Show+ Volkswagen V-Dub Up!
