I think there are things that are not discussed, Yamaha imports the YZF-R1 into china and then they were being sold online? I’ve seen advertisement for them not sure what that’s all about. Raises the question of how does a unit designated for sale in china end up in Bulgaria? The prices of the YBR in china are they high to prevent these units from being sold outside the formal channels? It’s not just a tedious game of monitoring intellectual rights for manufacturing, they also have to keep an eye on channels of distributions. The rights are to the value chain also, the formal systems that support the products.

If they can make money and get away with it they will it can be made black market, if not then sell it grey market. Dealers in other countries replenishing inventory through lower cost secondary sources?


Pleasure doing business with you….hey is that my wallet? No, not your wallet it my wallet…just look like your wallet. Oh, so sorry is your wallet, have picture of your wife in it.


I would say Honda prefers to manufacturer out of wholly owned operations and in that strategically.

These are cool bike have you seen these…
