India Yamaha to launch scooters.
"We are studying the market to enter the scooter segment, but we have not finalised the product line yet. However, one thing is sure that we will launch scooters in India," India Yamaha Motor National Business head Pankaj Dubey said at the 10th Auto Expo in New Delhi.
The feasibility study is focusing on areas such as the model to be introduced and possible timeframe of launching the product in the country, he added.
"We are evaluating whether a model from our existing global scooter portfolio will be launched here or a completely new product will be developed for the Indian market," he said, adding that the company is also evaluating whether Yamaha would focus on premium or mass market product.

My Comments: So, they are confirming launch of scooter(s) in India. Ok.
Apart from that, another 2 concepts might make it, which are YBR Concept (seems to be a 106cc), and SZ concept (maybe a 125cc).
All our hopes of a 250cc bike are now grim... It seems all this was a part of their Brand building strategy, and they need not launch anything "performing" now. I hope to be proved wrong though...
!! Anyways, it will be like a ELEPHANT scooter if its launched.
