    Approved

    This had better be a global (overall) study rather than just Yamaha. Else we will have to change the topic later!

        lolz what a biased statistical research....

        Clubbing 125CC to 249CC is one group is like too much in a market like India....

        Here it should rather be 125-149CC 150-200CC and 200+ CC

          Nice research dude...

          If we calculate the figure then it seems there would be more bikes from Yamaha in 150-250 segment for Indian Roads.

          I think the first one would be Fazer with 200+

            ^ Contrary to reports on various sites including xbhp, Yamaha IS NOT getting a Fazer 250 or a 200 for that matter to India. More dope (including a surprise) in the next issue of BIKE India

              Looking at the trend now, People are looking forward to buy Yamaha Products!

              Though Yamaha Was not a so much popular brand , but still we see Yamaha RX's being rolled everywhere and sale and purchase of the same till date!
              Yamaha is in making or rather i should say capturing market in a pretty good manner,R-15 FZ, New Fazer and then Galdiator has captured the most of the Commuter segement, though can not be compared with what bajaj has in Platina and Discover,but may be 2 years down the line, I can see such a thing!!

                This might be slightly not very accurate but somehow am thrilled to see that Zuki, which has the least models has a considerable (?) share.... I mean with just two Motorcycles.....Zeus and GS150R , it has a market share of 2.53 as opposed to that of Bajaj which has 48.52.

                P.S: There is HEAT no more...... RIP

                  From statistics it's evident Pulsars/Apaches are becoming less popular with every passing year, if we glance at 125-249cc pie chart

                  Bajaj 60% in FY07 but 48% in FY10Q1 (down 25%)
                  TVS 13% in FY07 but 7% in FY10Q1 (down 45%)
                  HMSI 12% in FY07 but 24% in FY10Q1 (up 100%)
                  HH 8% in FY07 but 12 in FY10Q1 (up 50%)

                  Unicorn/Hunk/Xtreme/Zma have slowly improved over Apaches and Pulsars, in next 2 or 3 year term their popularity MAY further dip due to GSR/FZ/Fazer/R15 effect in the so called 'premium segment'. This inspite of numerous versions/upgrades/feature addition by Bajaj and TVS.

                  Just my way of looking at the above statistics !!

                    Yes! Yamaha! And they have managed this sales increse by producing and selling premium bikes and not teeny weeny mileage bikes.

                      I went to Yamaha showroom in Koramangala (Bangalore) and just casually asked like how many FZ16 are getting sale in a month and the reply was 300+. So you can imagine how big Yamaha planned to expand its feet now.

                      Yo Yamaha....

                        Exactly, almost all customers don't buy Yamaha for mileage. In fact, Yamaha is for everything else expect mileage, like service, performance, ownership pride, etc... Of course, even in Mileage they are not bad ...

                        Premium Bikes. Well, the question is how much premium? 150cc? 250? 600?

                        Secondly, Bike India is not available throughout my City ... Searched every nook & corner, couldn't get it...

                          Awesome find. From your findings, it seems that more people are going in for slower machines.

                          And we people are talking about Ninja, Big yammie and what not!!

                            Why not subscribe and have it door delivered. You ll even save a lill bit that way. Does Bike India offer online subscription? They should start if they dont already.
