The name Yamaha is one that denotes instant recognition, admiration and reliability for its many offerings. This corner stone for this remarkable reputation was set in place at the inception of the Company under the visionary leadership and guidance of founder Genichi kawakami in 1955.
What began with only a motorcycle - the “YA -1”- has now expanded to an impressive range of products that include top of the range motor bikes, outboard motors, and marine jets.
Associated Motor Ways Ltd. began its journey with Yamaha Motor Company Ltd. in 1981. With over three decades of a successful relationship at its foundation, the links between the two companies are stronger than ever.
A significant highlight in that journey is what was witnessed at the grand opening of the all new Yamaha showroom at Borella on 24 March 2014. The showroom with its state of the art facilities and high end customer service will feature and offer its customers the entire range of Yamaha motorcycles which include the FZ, FZ-9, FAZER, SZR, SZX, and Ray Scooter.
The vastly popular and increasingly on demand Yamaha Outboard Motors - 8 HP, 9.9HP, 15HP, 25HP -will also be available. Also featured is the recently trendy Yamaha WaveRunner available in two models - Wave Runner FX Cruiser SHO and WaveRunner VX1100.
The availability of this entire range in one location provides for easy access to Yamaha customers. lt also marks a significant moment in AMW and Yamaha’s joint effort to help enrich the lives of people and to contribute towards the communities and cultures in which they work and live.
Empowered by a passion for innovation, Yamaha creates exceptional value and experiences that enrich the lives of its customers and the opening of the Borella showroom will bring the best of the world’s innovation and technology to its customers here in Sri Lanka.
AMW who are pioneers in the motor vehicle industry are also currently the agent on record for world renowned brands such as Nissan, Suzuki, Piaggio, Good Year, BP, Castrol, New Holland and many more.
The grand unveiling of the Yamaha showroom at No. 107 D.S. Senanayake Mawatha, Colombo 8, on 24 March 2014 saw the participation of several distinguished VIPs including Chief Guest Secretary to the Ministry of Defence and Urban Development Gotabaya Rajapaksa and AMW Group Chairman - Al Futtaim Group Len Hunt, Japanese Ambassador in Sri Lanka Nobuhito Hobo and many youth icons were present at the occasion.
