Indian participants at Yamaha ASEAN Race

11th Yamaha ASEAN Cup Race ready for action, 4 Indian riders to represent Yamaha Motor India

The ASEAN region represents the most important market for Yamaha Motor’s motorcycle business, where major growth has been achieved through the early introduction of models equipped with automatic transmissions, fuel injection systems, etc. Among the reasons behind this success is Yamaha’s sporty brand image, the sporty designs and performance of the products introduced and the active efforts across the region to promote the spread and development of sports. Since its launch in 2003, the Yamaha ASEAN Cup Race motorcycle race event has emerged as a prominent symbol of these efforts.

The 11th Yamaha ASEAN Cup Race 2014 is all set to flag off on 6th – 7th December at the Sentul International Circuit in West Java, Indonesia. Yamaha Motor group company P.T. Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing will host the event.
