Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

we dont want sun and moon, and definitely dont want yamaha to compromise on quality.

but we think that manufacturing it in india and selling it at around 2.25 lakhs and also exporting (like R15) is feasible with profit for company.

plz dont suggest higher price point to yamaha guys.

think, a CBR sells at 2.0 lakhs approx. with ABS and manufactured in india, if CBR makes it two cylinder, can they not sell it 2.25 lakhs.


while a price point of 2.25 -2.3 lakhs is profitable feasible for yamaha R25, the actual price point will obviously depend on what yamaha think is the right price for india, how much profit they want and whether it is manufactured in india.

but if they price it above 2.5 lakhs or close to 3 lakhs, it will surely impact sales numbers.

Disclaimer: this is my personal opinion.

Superb reply mate..!! -Mooh ki baat cheen li-
Good point, impression must not be given to yamaha motors that people are ready to shell out big amount. Also everybody do not have this much money.

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia


Could not be more true. Reading posts of few members above it is quite disheartening. You want sun and moon and you dont want to pay the price. I dread to buy RC just because of lots of issues with its naked siblings. Yamaha has never compromised on quality and all their products have been well rounded.

I am in the same boat as you are. And I always feel Yamaha was right when it made a comment that India is not ready for such kind of bike. Any manufacturer that decides to give us a quality product we shoot it down with unrealistic expectations. Hope things are better now and Yamaha sees success with R25.

Sometimes I don't understand what do we actually want as consumers. Low price or good quality because afaik both of these don't exist in this world together.

People are speculating that rc will eat the sales of r25 in case of higher price difference. But have we considered the reliability which we will be loosing ?
Look around the d390 forum. Oil leaks within 2k of ownership, coolant seepage hell broken alloys not bent but broken. In such a scenario I will happily shell 30-40k more if I am getting better quality. ( No offence to any duke owner ). Compare this to ninja owners who have far less issues and always praise the quality and finish of the bike.

In case of cbr which is highly localised bike the price is ~2l. Add to that cbr is going to update its line up with the latest model which bumps the power to 29 bhp ( it is sure gonna add at least 10k more on top model). And since we are getting a twin cylinder I believe it will definitely add to the cost. Also setting up a facility will not be feasible in the initial months in India. IMO yamy will first check the demand and then will think about investing more in India.

This does not mean that ideal price should not be 2.3l. But we should not expect from Yamaha to deliver something ingenious at delectable price.

P.S : I am not a spoilt brat of rich dad who is willing to shell more. It's just that I don't want to have high expectations and watch them shattered when price is released. ( like what happened with triumph Daytona)

P.P.S : ok I am may be bit spoilt but definitely not rich. [emoji13]
