Yamaha Sales January 2026
The RayZR remained Yamaha’s best-selling product in January 2026 with 19,815 units, accounting for 30.82% of total domestic sales.

The FZ series took second place with 12,477 units, up 9.46% year-on-year and contributing 19.40% to Yamaha’s total sales. MT-15 stood second with 11,081 units and 17.23% share. While the YoY growth for MT-15 stood at a modest 4.14%, it saw a massive MoM growth of 151.67% due to the low base of December. The R15 registered 8,301 units in January 2026, remaining largely stable with a 0.45% year-on-year increase. Sequentially, it recorded a strong growth of 52.23% compared to December.
Fascino sales stood at 5,697 units, marking a decline of 31.04% as compared to 8,261 units in January 2025. However, it improved by 23.05% compared to December. The XSR recorded 4,087 units in January 2026, contributing 6.36% to total sales. Compared to December’s 14,951 units, XSR volumes declined sharply MoM, indicating normalization after a high base following the launch. The Arocs posted 2,841 units, which is a strong growth of 60.51% YoY and an impressive jump of 175.56% MoM. The R3/MT-03 lineup did not record meaningful volumes during the month.
Scooter vs Motorcycle – Motorcycles are still ahead
A closer look at Yamaha’s January 2026 sales split shows that motorcycles continue to contribute a large share to the volumes. Of the total 64,299 units sold, motorcycles accounted for 35,946 units, which is 55.9% of total sales. Scooters contributed 28,353 units, accounting for 44.1% of total domestic volumes. While Yamaha’s scooter portfolio, led by the RayZR, remains strong and is constantly growing, the brand’s core strength still lies in its motorcycle lineup, especially models like the FZ, MT-15, R15 and the newly launched XSR. The healthy contribution from both the segments highlights Yamaha’s balanced portfolio strategy in the Indian market.
155cc platform emerging as major volume driver
Another notable highlight is the growing dominance of Yamaha’s 155cc platform. The models powered by this engine – R15, MT-15, XSR and Airox – totaled 26,310 units in January 2026. This is approximately 41% of Yamaha’s total domestic sales for the month.
The strong contribution of this single engine platform underlines Yamaha’s successful strategy of leveraging a high-performance, VVA-equipped 155 cc engine in multiple body styles – from fully faired sportbikes to naked streetfighters, retro roadsters and premium scooters. This platform remains a key pillar of Yamaha’s growth story in India.
