Yamaha to make 500 USD motorbike in India

JAPAN'S Yamaha said it was developing "the world's cheapest motorcycle" in India priced at $US500 ($478), which it plans to export.

The low-cost bike with an engine size of around 100cc will be worked on at its research centre in Uttar Pradesh state, but the company declined to give a launch date.

"Developing the product in India will give us substantial cost advantage and enable us to price it competitively," Hiroyuki suzuki, chief executive of India Yamaha Motor told reporters in New Delhi.
