Jakarta, Indonesia, May 26, 2003 --- P.T. Astra Honda Motor, Honda's joint venture company in Indonesia responsible for motorcycle production and sales, announced that they have rolled out their 10 millionth motorcycle.

The company integrated the functions of parts manufacturing, engine and body assembly, and wholesale activities. P.T. Astra Honda Motor started operations in January 2001.

The motorcycle market in Indonesia continues to expand, with the total market for 2003 forecast to reach 2.6 million units. P.T. Astra Honda Motor launched new models, the Karisma and Kirana, in 2002, helping the company to post record sales of 1.437 million units. In 2003, further sales expansion is targeted with the launch of new products that meet customers' needs.
