I am a Yamaha fan, but I feel sad that this is one company that is not anywhere near reaching 10% market share. From the time that Yamaha bought out Escorts they have been saying the same but in the end they have only been moving backwards. The R 15 cannot be a volumes model and the rest of the line-up has proved that they are none sellers. The only silver lining could be in the form of the FZ 150 which in the spy pics looks stunning. If Yamaha can get this model right, there could be something. Otherwise, its probably curtains.

Yamaha can achieve this target only if they introduce a bike that mass love. They are making superbikes for India,that may improve their profitability. But they cannot achieve the 10% mark.

I wish Yamaha would now aim for and bring a 250cc twin to do battle with the likes of the baby Ninja ! A good 250cc bike is a glaring omision in our market.

i am a yamaha fan too and i feel great that yamaha has started something which every other bike maker in the country will copy soon, make a good looking bike atleast with low capacity engines when will these eyesore pulsar series 220! and the dated karizma will replaced with styling of ninja or a cbr. i dont want yamaha to make those 100cc or 125cc, because they cant. just leave that to hero honda or bajaj. now without goin backwards yamaha should concentrate on making quality vehicles as it is known the world over. i think if the fz 150 is priced between 55 to 60k bracket it would be curtains to some leading bikes in the country and that would help increasing volumes. pricing right is the mantra in India.

How they can think of MSH, instead they should concentrate on winning the hearts of RX fans and this will help them in in bring back the charisma of “Yamaha always a Yamaha”, to day bikers are happy with what ever is happening in the market place and also having seen the success after very long years Yamaha product planning team should work on some thing different from the market and should match the biker expectation with using their old technology, product strength in new avatar.
Till date the Yamaha was looking at making the entry in to the youth after the failures of RX135,Z etc and today they have got it back with “why zed F15″….it’s something like Good old actor coming out with block buster….and showing something different.
I suggest Yamaha should plan to bring the similer bike like that of RX 100 with a most likely priced (50>60K) with lot of resemblance of YAMAHA Beat.

Need any suggestion post your query…
