Nah, yang harus digaris bawahi adalah moge ini dirakit di Malaysia dan harganya cuma RM 39,000 atau cuma 97 juta rupiah!!! Seandainya ini dibawa ke Indonesia, apalagi Indonesia dan Malaysia masih terhubung dalam perjanjian AFTA, bea masuk bisa nol (0) persen.

Seandainya dengan pajak ini-itu dan keuntungan untuk PT Yamaha Motor Kencana Indonesia (ATPM) Yamaha dan akhirnya dijual dengan harga Rp 150 jutaan di Indonesia, pasti rame nih! Bisa bejaban sama Kawasaki ER-6 yang kabarnya bakal dijual Rp 180 jutaan dan meluncur awal 2012.

Berdoa saja, semoga tahun depan Yamaha memang memasukan moge ini ke Indonesia! Oiya spesifikasinya silahkan lihat di bawah ini:
