"Many of the YBR 125s imported into Europe (at a target rate of about 40,000 units per year) are manufactured in China, and are a model originally designed for the Chinese market, where it achieved notable success. It was introduced in China in 2003, and had sold 200,000 units by 2005. The design concept was for a "125cc commuter with the best balance of features to fit the Chinese traffic environment." The fact that the Yamaha bike became a hit product in China, outselling domestic designs, has been taken as an illustration of the threat posed by "the Japanese competitors' strategy of marketing new types designed specifically for Chinese consumption."
This bike is already a business case study in China, and may become a world design classic."
