For the first half of the present year (2010), Yamaha Motor Co. announces a 16.7% net sales increase relative to 2009’s bi-annual net sales.

As of June 30, 2010, net sales of over 676.2 billion yen have been procured by the Japanese manufacturer as the year’s first half ends.  Out of the total sales, motorcycle sales tally a total of 476.5 billion yen which expresses a total of 16.2% increase compared to the net sales of motorcycles a year ago, covering the same period.

Until the first half of the present year (2010), Yamaha states that it has sold over 3.5 million motorcycles globally; this is a total of 30% in increase related to 2009 records.  Three million motorcycle units, out of the total 3.5 million which has been accounted for, were sold in Asia (excluding Japan sales).  This means, the majority of the sales were made in Asia.

Contrary to the increase, net sales in North America show less upbeat.  Compared to the 75,000 units sold all over North America in 2009, the net sales for 2010’s first half declined to 35,000 units.

For the whole of 2010, Yamaha estimates their net sales to increase further yet North American sales to continue in declining.
