Well they're back. Yamaha got their own showroom at Collie St. Fyshwick.

So the word is that their only supplier is Yamaha Australia... So no aftermarket parts, only Yamaha apparel, etc.
No doubt this would be Yamaha Australia's wet dream, but it sounds like a fast ticket to bankruptcy to me. Car dealership mentality won't work for bikes...

Who really cares about Yamaha disappearing. Their bikes are heavy boat anchors.
Look at KTM, Beta, or Gas Gas who are putting in the effort in new models, R&D, and making quality products. The Japanese attitude is the same with their consumers as it is with their dealers - our way or the highway. |

Can't afford the franchise buy-in, and it does appear to be a challenging business model.
