Yamaha as a brand needs no introduction in the world of bikes. In their global lineup, they feature a wide range of bikes. The majority of Yamaha motorcycles, on the other hand, do not make it to India. This could be for a variety of reasons that the brand is aware of. We do, however, have a wishlist prepared. In today’s piece, we’ve compiled a list of five Yamaha motorcycles that we’d want to see in India.
| Yamaha Bikes We Need in India | Price (Expected) |
|---|---|
| Yamaha XSR 155 | Rs 3.5 Lakhs |
| Yamaha YZF-R3 | Rs 3.5 Lakhs |
| Yamaha MT-03 | Rs. 3.4 Lakh |
