From our favourite Motor Mag who put in such a great effort spreading the good word on the Tenere [sarcasm off]

Expect a great selection of 125 and 250cc adventure bikes in the future. ::024::

At least they are promoting Nicks ride a bit.Yamaha has released its latest set of financial figures amid fanfare, proclaiming it has 'secured profitability in all business segments'. That's about as close to a whoop as Japanese businesses get..... ::012::
European sales, the spur to development of models you're actually interested in, continued to fall........ (US readers wondering where all their special editions went should reflect they now contribute just 4.2% of Yamaha's earnings from bikes).
With 82% of the firm's motorcycling income (and growing) expected to come from Asia and the BRIC countries when 2011's final figures are in, would it be it any wonder if Yamaha's attention wanders?
Expect a great selection of 125 and 250cc adventure bikes in the future. ::024::
