Yamaha launched two of its premium bikes MTR01 and 998cc YZF R1. Both the bikes have been priced at Rs 10.5 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

- Initially we will sell these sport bikes from Ahmedabad, Chennai, New Delhi and Bangalore as we are looking at setting up an after-sales service infrastructure.
-We sold about 2.35 lakh units last year and we expect it to dip to 1.8 lakh units this year. This is also because of the negative growth the industry is witnessing.
