Yamaha India : Rocking baby rocking!

Well, the news had come out to us some time back but we thought it would be better for Auto Expo to be the platform for Yamaha to launch their new 150cc babies for India.

The D day was yesterday at Auto Expo, one of the biggest Auto shows, which takes places in New Delhi, India.

A little background : Yamaha in India sells 100cc (8odd bhp) and 125cc (12 odd bhp) bikes. Things havent being too good for them but yesterday, they blew everyone away. Here is what will be on offer

1. The Yamaha R15







Based on the YZF-R1, the R15 is :
-150cc engine
-With Fuel injection
-Liquid Cooled, 4 valves per cylinder
-Around 20-22bhp
-Will weigh around 125-130kg only
-6 speed gearbox.

Let the pictures do the talking then.
PS : most of you readers are from UK. i believe the CBR125 and the YZ-R125 put around just 15bhp, right? Wont you want one of these there then?


2. Yamaha FZ150







This bike is based on the FZ1000 (The Fazer 1000). Looks too good (some of us choose this over the R15). But it may be a little down on power (just like the FZ1000 is down on power than the YZF-R1), but then the torque may be good. Here are some pictures:
