INTRODUCTION
Indian Two-Wheeler Industry:
The Indian two-wheeler industry has come long way since its humblebeginning in 1948 when Bajaj Auto started importing and selling VespaScooters in India. Since then, the customer preferences have changed infavour of motorcycles and gearless scooterettes that score higher ontechnology, fuel economy and aesthetic appeal, at the expense of metal-
bodied geared scooters and mopeds. These changes in customer preferenceshave had an impact on fortunes of the players. The erstwhile leaders haveeither perished or have significantly lost market share, whereas new leadershave emerged.
Rising income levels, reducing excise duties, higher loan tenure and loan-to-value offered by the financing companies have all fuelled the growth of two-wheeler sales in the country. Besides, mounting traffic chaos and limited
parking space has also increased the demand for two-wheelers fromhouseholds that can afford or actually do own a car. Furthermore, withincreasing women working population, changing social philosophy and
broad-mindedness, the penetration of two-wheelers that is currently atabysmally low level is expected to increase significantly going forward.
CARE Research has developed a statistical model that attempts to forecastthe domestic two wheeler sales on the basis of ownership cost and the target
population that includes young populace that can afford but do not own atwo wheeler. Other qualitative factors like macro-economic outlook,consumer confidence, willingness of vehicle financers to finance TWs, etc.have also been quantitatively built in demand forecasting model.
CARE Research foresees the growth of two-wheeler sales to be healthyduring the period FY09-14, albeit with some short-term hiccups. Accordingto CARE Research, rural India would drive the growth, whereas the
opportunity in urban India, especially bigger cities, is limited.
Abundant and low cost labour coupled with local availability of rawmaterials like steel, aluminium and natural rubber has placed India amongstthe low cost producing centres of two-wheelers. Consequently, CAREResearch anticipates buoyant growth in two-wheeler exports as well.

Yamaha was established in 1887 as apiano and reed organ manufacturer byTorakusu Yamaha as Nippon Gakki Company, Limited (Nippon Gakki Seizo
Kabushiki Gaisha) (literally Japan Musical Instrument MultinationalCorporation) in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka prefecture, and was incorporated onOctober 12, 1897. The company's origins as a musical instrument
manufacturer is still reflected today in the group's logoa trio ofinterlocking tuning forks.
AfterWorld War II, company president Genichi Kawakamisaki repurposedthe remains of the company's war-time production machinery and thecompany's expertise in metallurgical technologies to the manufacture ofmotorcycles. The YA-1 (AKA Akatombo, the "Red Dragonfly"), of which125 were built in the first year of production (1958), was named in honor ofthe founder. It was a 125cc, single cylinder, two-stroke, street bike patternedafter the German DKWRT125 (which the British munitions firm, BSA, had
also copied in the post-war era and manufactured as theBantam and Harley-Davidson as theHummer). In 1959, the success of the YA-1 resulted in thefounding of the Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.
Yamaha has grown to become the world's largest manufacturer of musicalinstruments (including pianos, "silent" pianos, drums, guitars, brassinstruments, woodwinds, violins, violas, celli, vibraphones, and saxophones),as well as a leading manufacturer ofsemiconductors, audio/visual, computerrelated products, sporting goods, home appliances, specialty metals, andindustrial robots.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
Two-Wheeler industry is one of the largest industries in the
automobile sector of global market. Being the leader in product and processtechnologies in the manufacturing sector, it has been recognized as one ofthe drivers of economic growth. During the last few decades, well-directedefforts have been made to provide a new look to the automobile policy forrealizing the sector's full potential for the economy. The liberalization
policies have led to continuous increase in competition which has ultimatelyresulted in modernization in line with the global standards as well as insubstantial cut in prices. Aggressive marketing by the auto financecompanies have also played a significant role in boosting automobile
demand, especially from the population in the middle income group.Presently many international brands like Honda, Suzuki, etc. are competingwith Indian brands such as Bajaj, Enfield etc. to capture Indian markets.
These aggressive marketing strategies have resulted in making the consumerthe major key for success in the industry. Each product offering is nowdesigned to meet and exceed the expectations of the consumer. Butunderstanding consumer behavior and knowing consumers is never simple.And it is more difficult that to understand what a consumer perceives aboutthe product. Customers may say one thing but do another. They may not be
in touch with their deeper motivations. They may respond to influences thatchange their minds at the last moment.

Psychological Factors
Motivation
A person has many needs at a given time. A need becomes amotive when it is aroused to a sufficient level of intensity. Amotive is a need that is sufficiently pressing to drive theperson to act.
Perception
Perception is the process by which an individual selects,
organizes and interprets information inputs to create ameaningful picture of the world. How a, motivated personactually acts is influenced by his or her perceptions of thesituation.
Learning
When people act they learn. Learning involves changes in anindividuals behavior arising from experience. Learning
theory teaches marketers that they can build up demand fora product by associating it with strong drives, usingmotivating cues and positive reinforcement.
Beliefs and attitudes
Through doing and learning, people acquire beliefs andattitudes. These in turn influence buying behavior. A belief isa descriptive thought that a person holds about something .The beliefs make up product and brand images andpeople act on these images .An attitude is a person enduringfavorable or unfavorable evaluations, emotion feeling sandaction tendencies toward some object or idea Thus acompany would be well advised to fit product into existingattitudes rather than try and change peoples attitudes.
