New Delhi, Oct 07: Yamaha Motor India on Tuesday said its motorcycle sales rose by 26.4 per cent in September 2003 to 36,980 units from 29,255 units sold a year earlier. The September sales were also higher by 64.6 per cent as compared to 22,464 units sold in August this year, a company release said.

Yamaha Motor attributed the growth in sales to higher demand for two recently-launched variants of its 'Libero' and 'Enticer' motorcycles.
The company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Japan's Yamaha Motor Corporation, said it has improved its marketshare to 10 per cent in September from six per cent in the previous month.
To further boost sales, it will launch a new variant of its existing 'Crux' motorcycle called the 'Crux 5KA-3' in a phased manner. Bureau Report
