Where are Yamaha motorcycles produced?
2 Answers
Yamaha motorcycles are a Sino-Japanese joint venture. Below is an introduction to Yamaha: 1. Appearance: The Yamaha R6 is a model produced by Yamaha Motor Company. The Yamaha R6 has a length, width, and height of 2040mm, 705mm, and 1095mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 1375mm. The seat height is 850mm, the minimum ground clearance is 130mm, the curb weight is 189kg, and the fuel tank capacity is 17 liters. 2. Engine: The engine is a four-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a maximum power of 91kW and a maximum torque of 65.7Nm. It uses a liquid-cooled cooling system and electronic fuel injection.
During my last trip to Japan, I specifically looked into Yamaha. Their motorcycle production bases are mainly in Hamamatsu and Iwata in Japan, where they manufacture high-performance models. However, with globalized production now, Southeast Asia has also become an important base. For example, the factory in West Java, Indonesia specializes in producing popular models for the Asian market. Factories in Thailand, Vietnam, and India mainly supply the local markets, while assembly plants are also found in regions like Brazil and France. Interestingly, the core engine components, such as precision parts for those four-cylinder engines, are mostly produced in Japan, with overseas factories primarily handling vehicle assembly. The worker training standards are uniform across different regions, so there isn’t much difference in quality.
