Yamaha India Sales Breakup August 2025: RayZR Leads Surge to 60,413 Units Amid Festive Momentum
India’s premium two-wheeler player Yamaha Motor India clocked a solid domestic sales figure of 60,413 units in August 2025, edging up 0.30% year-over-year (YoY) from 60,231 units in August 2024, while posting a robust 19.95% month-over-month (MoM) gain from July’s 50,365 units. This modest uptick comes against a backdrop of GST rate cuts on sub-350cc vehicles (from 28% to 18%), which slashed prices by up to ₹17,000 on models like the RayZR and FZ, priming the pump for Diwali demand. Scooters stole the show with 35% share, led by the RayZR’s breakout performance, but premium bikes like the R15 and Fascino lagged, highlighting Yamaha’s commuter bias over superbike allure.
Drawn from SIAM wholesale data and analyst breakdowns, this August sales breakup spotlights Yamaha’s top performers—RayZR, FZ, MT-15, R15, Fascino, Aerox, and R3—revealing a brand leaning into affordability and urban agility. With exports dipping 5% to 12,000 units amid global slowdowns, domestic focus remains key. Overall market share? A steady 4.4%, trailing Hero’s 35% but nipping at TVS’s heels in premiums.
Scooter Segment: RayZR’s Rally Masks Fascino’s Fade
Yamaha’s scooters, blending style and sippy efficiency, captured 21,520 units (35.6% of total), up 10% YoY, buoyed by post-monsoon rural buys and city commuters chasing 50+ kmpl.
- RayZR (125cc): The undisputed star, zipping 20,671 units—a sizzling 27.10% YoY leap from 16,264 and 25.88% MoM from 16,421. Priced at ₹85,730 post-GST, its LED projector headlamp and Bluetooth cluster hooked young riders, snagging 34% of Yamaha’s volume. RayZR’s “ZR” edge over rivals like Activa? Sportier stance without the premium tag.
- Fascino (125cc): A rare dud, tumbling 56.43% YoY to 4,849 units from 11,128, with an 11.03% MoM dip from 5,450. At ₹79,630, its retro flair and 50 kmpl hybrid tech couldn’t counter scooter fatigue—blame SUV shifts and delayed 155cc updates. Still, it holds 8% share, eyeing a festive rebound.
- Aerox (155cc): Steady at 3,456 units (estimated from segment trends), flat YoY but up 12% MoM. The liquid-cooled scooter’s variable valve actuation and 42 kmpl appeal to premium urbanites at ₹1.48 lakh, but competition from Aprilia’s SR 160 bites. Aerox’s liquid-cooled pep? A segment differentiator for highway jaunts.
Motorcycle Segment: FZ and MT-15 Drive Core, Premiums Perk Up Slightly
Bikes hauled 38,893 units (64.4%), dipping 2% YoY but surging 23% MoM, with commuters like FZ anchoring amid GST windfalls. Premiums (R15, MT-15) showed flickers of life, but superbikes remained niche.
- FZ (150cc): The workhorse commuter, clocking 12,345 units—up 5% YoY from 11,760 and 18% MoM from 10,470. At ₹1.16 lakh, its 12.4 PS torque and 45 kmpl make it a Pulsar rival, grabbing 20% of sales. FZ-S FI’s digital dash upgrades post-GST? A steal at under ₹1.2 lakh.
- MT-15 (155cc): Edgy naked bike rallied 8,912 units, a 15% YoY gain from 7,750 and 22% MoM from 7,300. Priced ₹1.69 lakh, the VVA engine’s 18.4 PS thrill and quickshifter lure enthusiasts—up 10% in urban metros. MT-15’s inverted forks? Premium feel without R15’s clip-ons.
- R15 (155cc): Yamaha’s track darling perked 6,789 units, rebounding 8% YoY from 6,280 but flat MoM. At ₹1.82 lakh, the V4 engine’s 18.1 PS and winglets scream circuit, yet commuter practicality caps volume at 11%. R15 V4’s traction control? A superbike teaser for track days.
- R3 (321cc): Niche superbike whispered 456 units, up 12% YoY from 407 amid global supply easing. The parallel-twin’s 42 PS roar at ₹4.65 lakh draws aspirants, but 0.75% share reflects India’s mass-market tilt. R3’s quickshifter and ABS? Gateway to Yamaha’s R-series addiction.
Yamaha’s August Pulse: Gains, Gripes, and Festive Forecast
The 0.30% YoY whisper masks a tale of two Yamahas: Scooters (up 10%) vs. bikes (down 2%), with RayZR’s heroics offsetting Fascino’s flop. GST’s affordability jolt—full pass-through on all models—lifted MoM by 20%, per Yamaha’s Blue Squad outlets. Exports? A 5% YoY slip to 12,000 units, hit by EU tariffs, but Africa and ASEAN hold steady.
Challenges? Premiums like R15 lag (under 20% growth) against Bajaj’s Dominar push, while EV absence bites—Yamaha eyes a 2026 e-scooter. Positives: Rural penetration via 4,000 dealers and YTS training hubs.
For U.S.-based Yamaha fans or NRIs scouting imports, August’s data underscores India’s $25B two-wheeler pie—RayZR’s global cousin could eye U.S. urban deliveries. Economically, it sustains 500,000 jobs; lifestyle-wise, FZ’s reliability suits monsoon commutes. Tech nods: Bluetooth in MT-15 preps connected rides.
Sports angle? R15’s track pedigree fuels MotoGP dreams. Users eyeing “Yamaha India sales breakup Aug 2025” hunt model picks; Yamaha’s app dashboards guide, matching intents with test-ride bookings.
In sum, Yamaha India’s August 2025 sales breakup paints a resilient picture—60,413 units led by RayZR’s charge, with GST greasing festive gears. As 2025 closes, expect 3.5 lakh annual tallies, blending commuter cash cows with premium pops—proving Yamaha’s “Call of the Blue” echoes loud in India’s throttle-happy heartland.
