      2021 Yamaha R15M Showcased To Dealers – First Undisguised Photos

      by

      Yamaha R15MYamaha YZF R15M is a sportier version of R15 V3 with styling bits borrowed from R7
      Globally, Yamaha utilizes the M suffix for performance oriented variants of its standard motorcycles. In the Indian market, Yamaha will soon launch the M version for R15 V3. With the name registered by the company, it has put all speculations to rest. Based on sightings of camouflaged test mules, a number of options were proposed earlier such as R2, R3 and R15 V4.
      Yamaha YZF R15M design and features
      One of the key updates for Yamaha YZF R15M is its single LED projector headlamp with sleek LED DRLs. The overall styling at the front looks familiar to that of R7. In comparison, standard R15 V3 utilizes twin-eye LED headlights. Other changes include subtle variations to body panels. The exhaust appears to be a stubbier unit and comes in metallic finish. At the rear, the LED tail lamp seems like a revised unit.
      Yamaha has showcased the upcoming R15M 155cc motorcycle to dealers at an exclusive event. New images reveal MotoGP theme, which significantly transforms the overall look and feel of the motorcycle. It remains to be seen if new colours will also be on offer for Yamaha YZF R15M. Existing R15 is offered in colour options of Metallic Red, Thunder Grey, Racing Blue and Dark Knight. Prices vary based on the colour selected.
      Functionally, R15M variant gets USD forks. It comes in golden finish, which enhances the bike’s sporty profile. It is to note that USD forks are already available for R15 V3 in international markets. Due to cost issues, it has not been introduced in Indian market. R15M variant will appeal to enthusiasts who had earlier expressed their wish to see R15 with USD forks.

      Another key update is revised instrument cluster and Bluetooth connectivity. Users can pair their mobile phones with the instrument console to access a range of connectivity features.
      Yamaha R15M engine and specs
      Yamaha R15M variant will be using the same 155cc engine as that of standard R15 V3. The liquid cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 4-valve motor on-board R15 is capable of generating 18.6 ps of max power at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm of peak torque at 8,500 rpm. It is mated to a constant-mesh 6-speed gearbox.
      The bike has been equipped with a range of advanced features such as assist and slipper clutch and variable valves actuation (VVA). In terms of safety, R15 has been equipped with side stand engine cut-off switch. Although R15M variant has the same engine, the power output mentioned in Type Approval Certificate is slightly less. It is 13.5 kW (~ 18.35 ps), as per the certificate.
      As far as dimensional aspects are concerned, Yamaha R15M variant is exactly the same as standard R15 V3. Both bikes are 1,990 mm long, 725 mm wide and 1,135 mm tall. Wheelbase is 1,325 mm whereas ground clearance is 170 mm. With the updates, Yamaha R15M variant will be costlier in comparison to standard R15.

      2022 Triumph Tiger 660 First Official Teaser Images Revealed

      by

      2022 Triumph Tiger 660Triumph Tiger Sport 660 will compete against other adventure tourers such as Kawasaki Versys 650 and Suzuki V-Strom 650
      Triumph Motorcycles has just confirmed the launch of Tiger 660, officially christened as Tiger Sport 660. Their latest machine is set to become the most affordable adventure sports tourer from the iconic British brand. A full-fledged hardcore Adventure version of the same is also expected to debut at a later stage.
      Ahead of the international debut of Trident 660, a leaked image had suggested that the naked streetfighter would get two siblings- an adventure bike and an adventure sports tourer. Triumph has revealed a camouflaged version of the latter by releasing camouflaged images and a video. Triumph states that testing for Tiger Sport 660 is in its final stages.
      2022 Triumph Tiger 660
      Tiger Sport series from the British bikemaker is the road-centric range of Triumph’s ADV line-up. It caters to buyers who specifically want a bike for touring purposes and wish to stick to tarmac more often than getting into broken tracks. The bike is set to be officially revealed in a couple of months, most probably during EICMA 2021. One can expect the new adventure bike to hit showrooms in India by early 2022.
      What’s similar to Trident 660?
      2022 Triumph Tiger 660 is based on the same architecture as naked streetfighter. It will feature the same 660cc three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. This motor is tuned to produce a healthy 80 bhp and 64 Nm of peak torque and the same output is expected to be available for the upcoming sports tourer. This unit will be coupled with a six-speed gearbox with a slipper and assist clutch.
      [embedded content]
      Other hardware components such as suspension and braking setup have been straightaway lifted from Trident 660. Suspension duties will be handled by black colour USD forks and a mono-shock from Showa, although it will be interesting to see if they offer more travel or stuff like preload adjustability. Braking will be handled by a twin front disc and a single rear disc setup from Nissin.
      What’s dissimilar to Trident 660?
      While Tiger Sport 660 rides on the same 17-inch alloy wheels as its naked street racer sibling, the wheels are shod by Michelin Road 5 rubber. Even though the tubular frame underneath has been lifted from Trident 660, the upcoming sports tourer may get a new rear subframe and swingarm. Since both will cater to a different segment of buyers, the latter also gets ergonomic tweaks.
      The rider’s seat is longer in the Tiger with an aggressively raked up tail section. The handlebar is taller and wider and the footpegs are placed towards the centre which results in a more comfortable yet commanding riding posture. Optional side panniers enhance its credibility as a tourer.
      2022 Triumph Tiger 660
      Tiger-esque Design
      As far as its design is concerned, if put simply put, it is a Trident wrapped under the clothes of a Tiger. The motorcycle wears a typical half-faired design along with signature Tiger styling cues such as a tall windscreen, larger front fender and sleek twin LED headlamps. The big fuel tank and sizeable radiator shrouds further scream its ADV heritage. However, unlike other Tiger models, this one gets underbelly exhaust mufflers. More

      by

      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Launch Date TeaserNext-gen Classic 350 will continue to rival the likes of Jawa, Honda H’ness CB350 and Benelli Imperiale 400
      One of the most awaited launches, next-gen Classic 350 will debut in a few days. A lot of information is already available about the motorcycle based on numerous sightings of test mules undergoing road tests.
      Media rides have also commenced for next-gen Classic 350. The bike packs in a range of updates including visual refinements and new engine and platform. Some new colour options will also be on offer. Today, Royal Enfield has shared the official launch date. It is 1st Sep, 2021.
      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Launch Date Teaser
      Next-gen Classic 350 design and features
      The signature retro styling has been carried forward in most parts for new Classic 350. It’s one of the key things that define what the brand is all about. Most other new / next-gen product that Royal Enfield will introduce in the future will continue to use retro styling. Even the electric motorcycle that the company is developing will have retro styling. The only difference will be in the ratio of retro-modern features.
      In case of new Classic 350, the scales are tilted towards a retro-heavy profile. It is evident in the round headlamp and rear view mirrors, teardrop shaped turn indicators and fuel tank, and broad front and rear fenders. Both spoke and alloy wheel options will be available. Retro enthusiasts are most likely to choose the former.
      [embedded content]
      Liberal use of chrome garnish is another factor that enhances the bike’s retro profile. Chrome garnish can be seen on several components such as front and rear suspension, turn indicators, handlebar, engine casing and exhaust pipe. However, there will be colour variants that will have a blacked-out look.
      Some of the new colour options that will be available for next-gen Classic 350 include British Green and Glossy Grey. The seat colour will be accordingly adjusted. Some will have brown colour seats whereas others will get the standard black colour seats. In its current form, Classic 350 is available in colour options of Orange Ember, Stealth Black, Chrome Black, Airborne Blue, Stormrider Sand, Gunmetal Grey, Classic Black, and Metallo Silver.
      Just like its predecessor, new Classic 350 will be available in both single seat and dual seat configuration. However, there’s a slight change in that the spring-based rider seat has been replaced with a standard option. It is expected that the seats will have improved cushioning to ensure more comfort and reduced vibrations.
      Next-gen Classic 350 engine and specs
      Royal Enfield has used its new J platform and the new 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine with Meteor 350. This setup will be used for new Classic 350 as well. Users have reported significant improvements in ride quality and vibration level with Meteor 350. Next-gen Classic 350 can be expected to deliver a similar level of performance.
      The new 349cc motor is capable of generating 20.2 bhp of max power and 27 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The engine produces far less vibrations, as it has been equipped with a counter-balancer shaft.
      New Classic 350 utilizes a new double downtube frame with standard telescopic forks at front and dual rear shock absorbers. The bike has disc brakes at both ends. Dual-channel ABS will be offered as standard. More

      Yamaha 155cc Scooter Aerox, New R15M With Bluetooth, USD Forks – Launch Soon

      by

      2021 Yamaha Aerox 155Although Aerox will be using the same 155cc motor, it will have lesser power than YZR R15
      Yamaha is testing a number of new / updated products that are expected to be launched in the coming months. Additions to the list include a new variant of YZR R15 V3. The name registered by the company is R15M. This new variant is likely to be a new top of the line R15 variant, which will get sportier styling, new features like Bluetooth, etc.
      Yamaha will also be expanding its scooter portfolio to include its first maxi-scooter for the Indian market. Earlier this month we had reported that Yamaha will be launching a new scooter based on R15’s 155cc engine in India by Diwali 2021. It will be the new Aerox 155, as Yamaha has homologated the same in India.
      2021 Yamaha Aerox 155
      Yamaha Aerox maxi-scooter
      Maxi-scooter segment is largely untapped in the Indian market. It’s good to see that some OEMs have started exploring this space with the aim to gain the first-mover advantage. The current options are fairly limited to a few products such as Aprilia SXR 160.
      Yamaha will be entering this space with Aerox 155. The scooter is already available in several south east Asian markets such as Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines. As per the Type Approval Certificate, Aerox for the Indian market measures 1980 mm in length, 700 mm in width, and 1150 mm in height. Wheelbase is 1350 mm.
      2021 Yamaha Aerox 155
      Aerox will be using the same engine as that of R15. However, it will come in a detuned state, generating close to 15 ps at 8,000 rpm. The maxi-scooter is expected to get a range of connectivity features accessible via Yamaha’s mobile app.
      Yamaha Aerox 155 Homolgated in India
      Yamaha R15M variant
      Yamaha R15M is likely to be a more sportier version of the R15. Recently, new Yamaha motorcycle was spotted on test in India. It is still unclear as to what that motorcycle could be. But with this new homologation details out, it is likely that it was the Yamaha R15M, and not the R3 or the R2 or the R15 V4 as reported earlier.
      Yamaha uses the M tag for the performance oriented versions of their standard motorcycles. The spy shots reveal that the R15M will get a new headlight unit, inspired by the R7. It will also get the USD forks. R15 is already available with USD forks outside India, but for India it is available with regular telescopic forks. Finally India will get USD forks on the R15 V3, with the new R15M variant.
      Yamaha R15M. Image – iwanbanaranblog
      Other features and cycle parts for Yamaha YZF R15M variant will be the same as the current model. R15 is powered by a 155cc liquid cooled, SOHC, 4-valve motor that is capable of generating 18.6 ps of max power at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm of peak torque at 8,500 rpm.
      It is mated to a 6-speed constant mesh transmission. The bike is equipped with advanced features such as variable valves actuation (VVA) and assist and slipper clutch. It also has integrated side stand engine cut-off switch.

      Dimensionally, R15M is the same as R15 standard variant. The bike measures 1,990 mm in length, 725 mm in width, and 1,135 mm in height. Wheelbase and ground clearance is 1,325 mm and 170 mm, respectively. Braking apparatus comprises 282 mm front and 220 mm rear disc brakes. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard. Expect prices of R15M to be higher than the standard R15 V3, thanks to added features, new styling. More

      2021 Yamaha MT15 MotoGP Edition Launch Price Rs 1.48 Lakh

      by

      2021 Yamaha MT-15 Monster Energy Moto GP EditionYamaha MT15 competes against other naked streetfighters such as KTM Duke 125, Bajaj Pulsar NS160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V
      Yamaha has launched a new top-spec variant of its naked streetfighter MT15 in India. Called MT15 Monster Energy MotoGP Edition, Yamaha has priced the motorcycle at Rs 1.48 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes it pricier by Rs 2,400 than the rest of the lineup.
      Other than a new colour scheme on top, there has been no other change made by the Japanese bikemaker on MT15. The livery on offer in the naked street racer is quite similar to what has been offered on the MotoGP Edition of FZ25 launched almost a month back. The latter has been priced at Rs 1.36 lakh (ex-showroom).

      The new paint scheme of MT15 benefits from Yamaha MotoGP branding on the tank shrouds, the fuel tank and side panels which emphasize the bike’s racing background. It also wears Monster Energy graphics on its fuel tank while the Yamaha logo is grafted in golden colour.
      In comparison to FZ25 MotoGP Edition, this special variant of MT15 gets a more subtle attire that misses out on blue inserts on the tank and headlamp assembly. Instead, this iteration of MT-15 gets small blue inserts on the radiator shrouds.

      Jawa 650cc Bobber Based On Bristol To Rival Royal Enfield – Render

      by

      Jawa 650cc Bobber – RenderAfter a scrambler and Adv, Jawa Europe may have plans to add a bobber as well to its portfolio
      Based on sightings of Jawa branded versions of Bristol motorcycles, it’s apparent that both entities have some form of agreement between them. Bristol Motorcycles is a Philippines based company that manufactures several bikes in 250cc to 650cc segment.
      Bristol Motorcycles is just around three years old, having commenced operations in 2018. The Jawa-Bristol arrangement could be something similar to what Jawa has with Mahindra-backed Classic Legends that sells Jawa motorcycles in Indian market.
      Bristol Bobber based Jawa 650 – key features
      Earlier, we had seen rebadged versions of Bristol Veloce 500 and Bristol Venturi 500. In their Jawa branded versions, these are called RVR500 and RVM500, respectively. While Veloce is a scrambler, Venturi comes across as an Adv motorcycle. Original Bristol and their Jawa rebadged versions are largely the same. This is likely to be the case with Bristol Bobber as well.
      Talking about Bristol Bobber 650, the bike sports a retro look and feel. Some key features include round headlamp and rear view mirrors, tear-drop shaped fuel tank, turn indicators and rear tail lamp, single piece seat, and broad rear fender.

      Use of spoke wheels further enhances the motorcycle’s retro flavour. Handlebars are placed at an ergonomic position, which should ensure comfortable rides for most users. Customers can choose from colour options of black, dark grey, light grey and red.
      For European markets, Jawa branded Bristol Bobber could get a new set of colour options. Another likely change could be in engine emissions. As Europe currently follows Euro 5 emission norms, the bike has to be compliant with those standards. If emission standards in Philippines don’t match Euro 5 standards, the engine and exhaust system may have to be tweaked accordingly.
      Bristol Bobber engine and specs
      Bristol Bobber is powered by a 649cc, liquid cooled, DOHC parallel twin, 8-valve motor. It is capable of generating 69 hp of max power at 8500 rpm and 62 Nm of peak torque at 7000 rpm. It is mated to a 6-speed transmission.

      The bike measures 2,245 mm in length, 940 mm in width, 1,040 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 1,505 mm. Seat height and ground clearance is 740mm and 130mm, respectively. It weighs 225 kg and can carry 14.5 litres of fuel. Fuel efficiency is 16 kmpl and rated max speed is 165 kmph.
      Suspension system comprises KYB Telescopic forks at the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear. Braking duties are performed by 345mm disc at the front and 280mm disc at the rear. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard.
      It is unlikely that Bristol motorcycles or their rebadged versions will be launched in India. Classic Legends managed Jawa India, however, may choose to introduce a larger capacity bobber or other motorcycles in the Indian market. Yezdi RoadKing is one such product that is expected to be launched soon in India. The company is also said to be working to revive BSA brand, which will be targeted at UK market. First BSA 650cc motorcycle was recently spied on test in Pune. More
