what's with yamaha?first to get the most powerful bike in india in 1984 & still stuck with getting the full range.i was looking forward for the r6 this year & there is no news of it.will the r6 ever come to india??when the dayatona 675,hyosung 650 & ninja 600 can make it to india why not the yamaha r6.this is really disappointing.not that the r1 is reasonably priced,the limited r1 is almost 16.5 L on road in bangalore

Flop show by Yahama. I was desprately looking for a 2XX CC from them. I'm not sure whats stopping them from doing it when Honda, Bajaj (in the form of KTM) can pull it off.

Totally agreed, Was also expecting they might give us the R6.

Some lovely pics! I see that the mirrors on the Vmax were being put to good use.
Got to admit that I am a bit disappointed with the range. Nothing really exciting hitting our shores. Was hoping to see a 250 out of Yamaha's stable.

Come on Yamaha, you can for sure make a better pitch. Is it the Japanese management who are disconnected from Indian Pulses? Yamaha has a very good Brand Image for making powerful 2 wheelers. Apart from R-15 & FZ16 there are hardly any newer models being launched. Pull up your socks and roll out a 250/400 twin cylinder Motorcycle.
Probably it might save the company some money by not rolling out those scooters.

Ray is launched! LInk from a vernacular website : http://tamil.drivespark.com/two-whee...6k-003200.html
