DYL Motorcycles - (DYL Limited) formerly known as Dawood Yamaha Limited was a Pakistani motorcycle manufacturer owned by members of the Dawood family and based in Hub, Balochistan, Pakistan since 1976.[2]
History
DYL Motorcycles was founded in 1976 as Dawood Yamaha Limited (DYL), a joint venture between members of the Dawood family and Yamaha Motor Company of Japan. The company manufactured Yamaha motorcycles locally for the Pakistani market for several decades. In 2008, following the conclusion of its technical collaboration with Yamaha, the company was rebranded as DYL Motorcycles. After rebranding, DYL introduced new models under its own name, including the YD-70 Dhoom, which was positioned as a successor to the Yamaha YB-100 Royale that had been produced in Pakistan for approximately thirty years.
DYL Motorcycles’ manufacturing operations are based in Uthal, Balochistan, while key components such as frames, fuel tanks, swing arms, fenders, gears, hubs, levers, and crankcases are produced by its sister company, Balochistan Engineering Works, located in Hub, Balochistan [3]
