Yamaha is a Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer globally recognized for its performance-oriented engineering and striking designs. In India, Yamaha has developed a strong brand following among younger riders, especially those looking for stylish, reliable motorcycles with responsive engines and advanced features. The current lineup in India covers scooters like the Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid and Ray ZR 125, as well as motorcycles ranging from 125cc to 250cc.
The FZ series and MT-15 represent Yamaha’s street-naked offerings, while the R15 continues to be one of India’s most loved fully-faired entry-level sportbikes. Yamaha’s bikes are known for sharp handling, refined engine performance, and high-quality fit and finish. Prices for Yamaha two-wheelers typically range from ₹80,000 to ₹2 lakh (ex-showroom), with the R15 and MT-15 commanding the higher end due to premium componentry like VVA (Variable Valve Actuation), assist-and-slipper clutches, and USD forks.
Yamaha has a strong presence in motorsports and uses this racing DNA in its product development. Although Yamaha has yet to enter the Indian electric two-wheeler space, its global EV strategy suggests that offerings may be introduced in the near future. The brand appeals to those seeking a sportier, tech-forward riding experience with Japanese reliability.
