Corporate communications officer Marcello Taufik declined to reveal specific numbers to Reuters but said 2007 revenue had risen by about 20% from 5.47 trillion rupiah ($US596.8m) in 2006.


“We are targeting a 15% increase from our sales figure of 2007. Demand from the domestic motorcycle market is firm as well as the foreign market,” Taufik told Reuters.
