Yamaha India is planning to join the bandwagon of premium motorcyle segment which is on high demand at the monment in India. Yamaha India will soon enter this competetion by introducing their 250cc motorcycle in bike market, though this Japanese maker did not reveal anything about the model that will be launched in India. Yamaha India have been planning to set up an manufacturing unit for their 250cc motorcyles instead of just assembling them in India. Honda CBR 250R and Kawasaki Ninja 250R are the only vehicles that are available in 250 cc segment. Honda CBR 250R is manufactured in India, and Kawasaki Ninja 250R is assmbled through completely knocked down kits. Importing kits will be cheaper when compared to importing completeley build unit vehicle, but even though the kit importers will have to pay a higher tax rate.
This was one of the chief reasons for Yamaha to manufacture their 250cc vehicles in India, which will benefit the buyer in two ways, the first benefit would be that it will be coming at a cheaper rate, and the other reason is that the spare parts will also be cheaper. The availability of spare parts at a cheaper rates would be a plus point for 250cc bike owners as they will have a low maintainance cost. Yamaha India still did not break its silence over launch of its 250cc motorcycle, and the disappontment is continuing for eagerly waiting 250cc fans. Yamaha bikes are known for its performance in India. It looks like Yamaha India is planning to concentrate on the launch of their automatic scooters in 2012. According to top officials of Yamaha India, they are concentrating more on launching automatic scooter, and also they are keeping a close watch on the 250cc bikes that have made their way into Indian bike market.
