Speaking about Mission 10000lkm, Masaki Asano, Managing Director, Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt. Ltd, said: “Yamaha is a young, sporty brand and we developed this initiative to encourage safe and congenial bike riding across the nation with a theme of ‘Discovering a whole new India in its truest form’. Yamaha’s ‘Mission 10000KM’ has indeed been a great journey not only to re-discover India but also re-discover our own selves. Our riders I’m sure have many stories to share about their journey. The official vehicle for this initiative was our recently launched fuel injected ‘Yamaha FZS – FI Version 2.0’ featuring our new technology concept called ‘Blue Core’ which stands for fun riding and economy which is also the official vehicle for this expedition. With such offerings and various customers connect initiatives like ‘Mission 10000KM’ we want to encourage the concept of ‘Touring’ in India.”
