India Yamaha Motor (IYM) has achieved a 32% growth in sales during the month of June as compared to last year. The company has sold 28,155 units of its motorcycles in the month of June, up from 21,278 units sold during June last year.

Koji Arai, Director and Chief Sales Officer, India Yamaha Motor Private Limited -

It is a sense of pride to witness Yamaha’s growing foothold in the Indian two-wheeler industry. The first half of the year has been indeed result-driven which is reflected not only in our sales graph but also in the initiatives taken to get closer to our consumers. With an exciting product portfolio, we have been receiving an overwhelming response from Indian and overseas consumers across all product segments, particularly from our newly launched YBR110 and premium segment bikes such as the YZF-R15 and the FZ series. Our refreshed FZ & FZ-S with new colours are doing very well and customers have appreciated them.

The company also reported a rise in its export figures for the month of June with 6,998 units being shipped out of the country. The company is also readying its SZ, which was first showcased as a concept at the Auto Expo, for launch sometime later this year.

Yamaha SZ- ready for launch in the second half of 2010

Yamaha SZExpect the SZ to hit the market in the second half of 2010

Yamaha has launched its 106 cc bike called the YBR 110 last week and there are chances that the company will launch its Yamaha SZ later in the year.

As per the sources the national business head of Yamaha Motors India, Pankaj Dubey confirmed that the company is planning to launch SZ in the market in the second half of 2010. The company is planning to strengthen its position in the entry level market and to do that the company is looking upto its YBR and YZ.

Pankaj Dubey also gave a hint of launching a 250cc bike but he said that nothing has been finalized on that front.

The Yamaha SZ is expected to have a 123.7cc air-cooled, 4-stroke SOHC engine, which will generate a maximum power output of 11 bhp@7500 rpm delivering a maximum torque of 10.4 Nm@6500rpm. The expected mileage will be of 65 kmpl and the will be around Rs. 50,000 to Rs.55,000. However these are not confirmed specs of the bike.

The company will continue with its existing line up and there are no plans for phasing out any of its current model like Alba or G5. On the other note the company will be working on increasing its dealership network all across the country.

Yamaha is now trying to capitalize on its brand image which went for a boost after the success of YZF R15, FZ and Fazer series and this could be the reason that Yamaha is playing another innings in the entry level segment. Well lets hope they do good this time.

Yamaha SZ and YBR- the next launches from Yamaha?

Yamaha SZYamaha YBR

Two concept motorcycles from Yamaha called the Yamaha SZ and Yamaha YBR were on display at the 2010 auto expo. These two bikes if launched would be targeted at the commuter segment. While the YBR looked pretty simple the SZ is the one to watch out for.

Although these are just concept bikes and no details regarding the technical specs are out or their launch time frame for that matter, we have a strong feeling that these two bikes will be the next launches from Yamaha for 2010.

The YBR looked somewhat like a 100cc bike whereas the SZ can have a slightly more powerful engine, perhaps in the 125cc range. One thing which I noticed was none of them had front disc brakes meaning these will be low capacity commuters.
