YAMAHA MOTORCYCLES AT AUTO EXPO 2006
Yamaha announces Rs 3 billion investment, three motorcycles
Invesmtment finvestment, alright alright. What we don't like is that there
is not much information available about the three motorcycles.
13 January 2006
NEW DELHI
Over the next two years, Yamaha Motorcycles said, that it would invest Rs 3
billion or approx USD 68 million) in India. The investment would be for
product development and the company's expansion plans in India.
That's all alright - but do we know much about the three motorcycles the
company is planning to launch in that period? Nope. We guess they would be
just everyday commuter motorycyles, with better engines, fuel economy,
whatever. Better fuel economy or not, there are no paradigm-shifters there.
Apart from showing off some of their motorcycles and scooters which may
never make it to India, one wonders why some of these companies participate in
the Auto Expo. After all, what better way to get free publicity and coverage
on all television channels? Oops, they are there to strike deals. Well, good
luck to them on their future launches, we are not impressed.
