BHPian | ![]() I think BMW and Honda are the only companies which make both good cars and good motorbikes. Triumph also had some decent cars some time back. |

BANNED | ![]() Yamaha did manufacture the engine for the Ford Taurus (USA) back in 1988. Ford sold the car as a different, high-end model called the Taurus SHO, & it was marketed by them to be the American M5 beater at the time. I'd also read an article a loooong while ago about their planned 800k supercar in Car&Driver, but I guess nothing came of it. |

| ![]() i don't think yamaha is dead in India .. they might have hibernated for a bit but if u've read yeaterday's Mumbai mirror .. they plan to launch the R1, R6 and a 250 cc bike in the span of the next 3 years .. i also heard the same thing on some TV interview with an automobile journalist .. can't remember who it was .. apparently they've realised that there is a market for big bikes what with the higher disposable income n' stuff .. i .. for one ..am waiting with baited breath .. where's my piggy bank !!! |

Let Yamaha launch a sub 400CC first and gradually upgrade. There will be a fiasco if they bring R1 now. They should help people import them. Yamaha has only grown to the 125 CC bracket yet. Seen their latest bike, gladiator 125(read s**t..) ?? They teased with 250 fazer and rossi's bikes, but came with a piece of metal scrap..... ![]() Dont think I am a yamaha critic. I used to swear by RX series.I still maintain a RX135. YAMAHA IS DEAD !!!! Long live the wicked pulsars, subtle ZMAs and dumb unicorns !!!! Last edited by mail4ajo : 12th May 2006 at 12:48. | |
