YAMAHA to launch 125cc Scooter in 2013
Yamaha after tasting success with Ray they plan to add another 125cc automatic scooter but this time targeting the male audience.
While other details of the new automatic scooter remain sketchy at this moment, Yamaha is expected to build the scooter with bigger proportions, a-la-Honda Aviator so that it suits the bigger body frame of men. The scooter will be powered by a 125cc four stroke engine mated to a CVT automatic transmission. Also, the new 125 cc scooter is expected to come with telescopic front forks and a zany new design as Yamaha needs to compete with the likes of the Honda Aviator and the Suzuki Access 125, which are well entrenched incumbents in the Indian automatic scooter market.
The 125cc man-sized automatic scooter from Yamaha is expected to be priced between INR 40,000 to INR 50,000, which indicates that it will be a mass market product targeting big volumes for the Japanese two wheeler brand. Yamaha is betting big on scooters and until 2015, will launch only scooters, putting new motorcycle launches on hold until then. This approach from Yamaha seems to be motivated by the fact that the automatic scooter segment continues to register sales growth that is significantly higher than other segments of the Indian two wheeler industry.

Re: YAMAHA to launch 125cc Scooter in 2013
I wonder why doesnt any manufacturer makes a motor cycle which has cvt transmission. it will attract male audience and also good for guys like me who doesnt know to ride motorcycles. tvs made a attempt with jive but it was still not fully automatic. I would really like a automatic proper looking bike.
