Yamaha, which already has two plants in India, is also planning to come up with a third plant. Yamaha kept its promise by unveiling all-new global scooter 'Ray' at the auto show, it was unleashed by none other than John Abraham. The shade on display was striking purple in combination with jet black. The gearless scooter is aimed squarely at girls and the production version of the Ray Concept has been launched today (14th September, 2012) in Indian market.

Overview of Yamaha Ray

At a press conference in July 2012, the India Yamaha Motor Company announced the release of a brand new scooter model - Yamaha Ray. In a showcase at the Auto Expo 2012, the world got a closer look at this new entry into the Indian scooter market, aimed at female drivers between the ages of 16 and 24. The company has certainly set its sights high, aiming to capture 10 percent of the scooter market by the year 2016 – so will the Yamaha Ray help it on its way to domination, or is it just another scooter in an already saturated market?

Yamaha Ray Exterior

The design of the bike is intended to be attractive to female drivers, with vivid, eye-catching curves and edges, and it’s certainly something different in a market that is all too prone to generic design. The sharp lines of the bike’s body are bold, almost aggressive, but its lights and clear-lens indicators are softer and more feminine. The main body of the bike is painted in the body color with striking black accents. The headlight fixtures are strong and nicely shaped, and the bike includes a silver tone back mirror. Overall, the body of the bike is expected to weigh 104 kilograms, placing it in the low to medium range of scooters. The scooter is certainly far more compact than many of its rivals, in keeping with its aim of attracting female drivers.
