 PROFILE
It's a plane, it's a motorcycle, it's a boat, it's a Yamaha!

Other products include unmanned industrial helicopters for crop spraying, electro-hybrid bicycles, generators, and auto and boat motors. About 85% of the company's motorcycle sales are outside of Japan. It has withdrawn from the gas engine heat-pump (GHP) air-conditioner business. Yamaha Motor and its subsidiaries and affiliates operate 60 plants in 45 countries. Yamaha Corporation (musical equipment) owns about 28% of the company.
