The R Concept:
The YZF-R1 and YZF-R6 are equipped with under cowls that are based on the image of a diffuser, to give them the best form for aero-management. These are not cowls for simply enclosing the engine, but forms composed of blade surfaces that actively control airflow. This spirit has been directly inherited by the YZF-R15. Harmony between rider and machine. YAMAHA's Human Technology involves studying the form of the motorcycle actually in motion with the rider on it. The R series is the embodiment of 1) A wide frontal space that protects the rider, 2) An easy to ride seating area that gives riders the freedom of movement and allows them to steer effectively, 3) The glamorous tail treatment that takes into account the management of airflow behind the rider, and
12
4) A sensual racing form that brings all 3 of these elements together in a harmonious package. These characteristics have been splendidly reproduced in the YZF-R15.Additionally; the designs were developed in the same modelling room where YZF-R1 designers worked. Information was shared, ensuring that the R lineage would be transmitted. In addition, the model also incorporates a multitude of adjustments for the Indian market including seat shape that allows for tandem riding (integrated with the main seat).

Yamaha Enticer
The bike on test with me is the base version without disc brakes or self start, costing Rs.55, 185/-. If you add Rs.9,000/- to it for disc brake and self start, it still is only Rs.64,000/-, which is still Rs.25,000/- less than the Eliminator which comes with self start and disc as standard.
While the Enticer entices aspirants with its price, the Eliminator eliminates most aspirants with its price.
So, what is it like? Looks it has in plenty. Raised handlebar. Long wheel-base. Easy rider seating geometry. Foot boards instead of foot pegs. Fat rear tyre. Single pod instruct. Chromed RV mirrors. And currently available in three colours: Gold (light yellow), Burgundy (reddish) and Black.
Motive power comes from the same square, 54 mm x 54 mm bore x stroke, 123.7cc pot that powers the Yamaha YBX. While max. Torque of 1.06 KgM at 6500 rpm is identical to the YBX, the 11 bhp (PS) of power in the Enticer engine comes at a slower 8000 rpm while in the YBX it comes at a higher 8500 rpm. Compression ratio of the Enticer is 10:1.

Wheelbase is 1375 mm with a claimed ground clearance of 140 mm. Kerb weight (with oil and full petrol tank) is 125 kg while dry weight is 116 kg.

Engine oil specified is Yam lube 4-stroke motor oil (20W40 type SF) or equivalent. Yamaha also warns NOT to use oils that contain anti-friction modifiers or car oils (often referred to as Energy conserving oils) that contain anti-friction additives, since this will cause clutch slippage and will in turn reduce life of components and cause drop in engine performance. While total quantity of engine oil is 1.2 litres, top up quantity is a convenient one litre. It is found in different colors: Black Burgundy Gold

Beautifully blending the youthful style with decency the new launch exhibits robustness and solidity, enough to lure the buyers.

conditions without repeated gear changing. Some of the attributes are listed below: 106cc engine Good combo of torque and mileage Long lasting life Innovative designed indicators Tail light Four stroke bike Powered by single cylinder Two-valve Air cooled engine Peak power of 7.6 PS at 7,500rpm Maximum torque of 7.85 Nm at 6,000rpm Enhanced air induction system Breathing engine reduces exhaust emissions Available Colours: Black Blue Red Silver
26
The present models of Yamaha are cashing in on the popularity gained by the Yamaha RX100. Yamaha decided to launch upgraded models after the earlier model could not conform to the emission standards. The first was the RXG 135. It made up for the power loss due to improvement in the engine to tackle emission norms. However, it could not match the performance and the expectation that people had developed about Yamaha because of the RX 100. Then came the YEIS 135. There is a considerable difference in performance due to changed gear ratio and tuning. The styling has also been adapted to reflect a more contemporary ethos. This is finally a bike that Yamaha lovers love to call their own.

Escorts Ace
Note: Company does not manufacture this model. A product of contemporary technology, it has a happy blend of hi-power hi-pick up 175cc, 10bhp engine with ecolube and alfine cylinder for better cooling and longer engine life-ideal for tropical climate. Its aerodynamic, modern styling reflects right from the front fairing to the rear trims with integrated lights. Its longer wheel base, wide tyres, better ground clearance and bigger brake drums make it a safe bike for the Indian roads.
Yamaha RXZ
Note: Company does not manufacture this model. This is an entirely new look Yamaha, achieved with the help of the side panel, matching headlight cover, engine guard and fuel tank has enhanced the sale and the look of the bike. To go with the new style is the 135cc engine that the Yamaha introduced with the RX 135. The engine along with its styling changes brought the spirit of the RX 100 back into the Yamaha RXZ. The addition of a tachometer to the Speedo consloe looks a bit incomplete but has made up for the lack of instrumentation in the earlier models. An addition is the headlight, which improves the styling, and also the aerodynamics of the vehicle.

MAJOR FINDINGS
52
Major Findings
Mostly the customers are in the age group of 20-30 years. There is a large portion of the service class in the customer population followed by student and business class. Yamaha Motor India Pvt. Ltd. has a market share of about 10% in the two wheeler automobile industry. 66% of the customer would like to finance their bike while purchasing.
Yamaha brand is perceived as having good power and technically sound\less maintenance bikes. Many perceive its features as just what I need. The dealers network is not strong and time to get bike service need is also not satisfactory where as quality of service, availability of spares, service cost and treatment by dealer are satisfactory. The marketing efforts undertaken by Yamaha are not so aggressive as compared t competitors in the market. The awareness about Yamaha bikes is created through mainly broadcast media and print.
53
CHAPTE NO .V
54
SUGGESTIONS
After looking into the finding of the survey! I would like to give some suggestion to the company. So that Yamaha India Pvt. Ltd. can increase its share in the two wheeler automobile market. It has been found in the survey that Yamaha bikes are facing problems due to its features of motorcycle. The customers are basically complaining about the mileage, which is the major problem the bike is facing. Apart from the survey, what I feel is that the reason of motorcycle sale not picking up in the market as compared to other brands is the lack of aggressive marketing I would like to give 40% of the reasons of not picking up sales of bike to its product and 60% to the improper marketing strategy which is the main reasons as to why the company is not able to increase its share in the market. Company must focus its attention on the marketing aspects of motorcycle segment because I found to that there is still lack of awareness of the product in the market which is a matter that has to be carefully looked upon strategically and move forward to strive for excellence in the market. In the end, I would say that the customer satisfaction should be the main target and mission of the company of the company to create the brand loyalty among the customer.
55
CONCLUSION
The Yamaha bikes are perceived as power bike in the market. There is need to reposition Yamaha bikes as mileage is the most attractive factor in the Indian Customers mind. The company needs aggressive marketing efforts. The customer satisfaction level is up to the mark. The company has about 10% market share in the two-wheeler segment of automobile industry.
