Yamaha TMAX560 in 2024: India Launch Plans

The release of the 2024 Yamaha TMAX560 is highly significant for the Indian market. This follows the sighting of a Yamaha TMAX560 test prototype in India, equipped with temporary red Karnataka state registration plates. This has sparked speculation about Yamaha's plans to introduce the TMAX in the Indian market fairly soon.
