This article states that cost of components in India is low...
Yamaha plans to make India global hub for premium bikes-Two-wheelers-Auto-News By Industry-News-The Economic Times
I perceive that even we can get some Premium Bikes offered here in India.
I always had this idea in mind, about India being an export hub..
Anyone remembers when I used to say in Xbhp, "we can get FZ6 for under 3L if its manufactured here".
But coming back to reality, let's see what matures out of this decision by Yamaha.---
Brotherhood, Rules, Freedom. Xbhp.

Exactly..!!Originally posted by ashes View Postwat premium bikes?....for yamaha the r15 is a supersport so wat do they mean by premium?
The Economic Times news does not clarify what kind of premium bikes Yamaha India has in mind for making India as the export hub.
A few excerpts from the article:
The Indian unit supplied 66,904 bikes in fiscal 2010 to Yamaha’s global operation, compared with 38,639 units in 2008-2009. These two-wheelers were sold in countries such as Colombia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Kenya, Bangladesh and the Philippines.Yamaha exports bikes such as Gladiator Type SS, FZ16, YZF-R15, Crux, Enticer, Alba and G5 out of India.The focus on selling high-end bikes in the 150cc category and above has worked well for Yamaha....
This segment is very crucial for us, as currently it is the main growth driver for our company,” said Mr Dubey
Only if Yamaha India is eyeing India as a manufacturing and export hub like Kawasaki has in Thailand (Kawasaki manufacturer's the Ninja 250R and the ER6 series of bikes in Thailand), it would make many xBhpians rejoice.

I hope this means R6s at a reasonable price available in India!"I set out running but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine. If I get home before day light, just might get some sleep tonight" - The Grateful Dead.
