      2023 Yamaha R25 Gets New Colour – Phantom Purple With Pink

      by

      The 249 cc parallel-twin motor on 2023 Yamaha R25 gets DOHC setup along with a 4V head, making 36 bhp of power and 22.6 Nm of torque2023 Yamaha R25For a very long time, Yamaha YZF range has been one of the most successful for the brand. It spawns a wide range of motorcycles under its umbrella catering to almost all levels of riders. Be it a novice rider looking for a YZF-R125 or a veteran seeking a YZF-R1, Yamaha has got them covered.The twin-cylinder quarter-liter offering by Yamaha has been updated for MY2023. With this update, there are no changes done mechanically, or any revisions or additions in terms of componentry and equipment. However, there is a new colour, though and is starkly similar to the one that was offered with Yamaha R3 in 2022.2023 Yamaha R252023 Yamaha R25 – New Colour UpdateWith the 2023 Yamaha R25, the company has offered a new colour. This is the same colour that Yamaha R3 got in August 2022 for US market. The base coat is a glossy Phantom Purple colour with subtle Pink elements found on its side body panels below its R25 branding. These subtle pink elements are also found in the front fairing above its headlights.With this update, 2023 Yamaha R25 has been kept mechanically identical to the 2022 model. Yamaha has only kept changes limited to its colour. In essence, we still get the same 249 cc parallel-twin and liquid-cooled engine with a DOHC setup and a 4V head. This engine is capable of 36 bhp of power at 12,000 RPM and 22.6 Nm at 10,000 RPM.2023 Yamaha R25With this new colourway, front USD forks are painted Black, instead of Gold with the remaining colour options. Design is mostly similar to the R15 V4 that we get in India and the R125 that was recently showcased at the Bangkok International Motor Show.Should This Be Launched In India?Even though Yamaha’s extent of its YZF-R lineup in India is limited to just one single-cylinder 150cc offering, we are optimistic. Yamaha’s YZF-R7 and MT-09 have been teased for India and might be shipped any time soon. But Yamaha’s action in the quarter-liter segment is limited to just FZ-25, which is not an awe-inspiring offering, to begin with.FZ-25 managed to sell just 120 units last month. 2023 Yamaha R25 will be a premium offering. If FZ25 is not generating sales, does it make sense to launch R25 in India? Well, R25 will have a separate target customer base. And considering that people are willing to shell Rs. 1.95 lakh (ex-sh) for an R15, there might be enough takers for a twin-cylinder screamer from Team Blue. More

      Ola Scooter ADAS Feature Teased – Front Forks Upgrade Starts

      by

      Ola testing ADAS tech for its scooter lineup might come off as overkill for a city scooter, but will be useful to deal with chock-a-block trafficOla Electric Scooter ADAS TestingThere seems to be a theme that most 2W EV manufacturers are following. This theme is a culmination of two different things. One is a distinctive design and the other is a bucket load of features with respect to regular ICE 2W vehicles we are familiar with. This theme is immediately evident too as almost all manufacturers are following it.Ola follows it too. It has a distinct retro-futuristic design that screams EV. In terms of features, helpful or gimmicks, Ola has a plethora of them that regular ICE scooters just miss out on. Now, there is a new feature under testing which is an absolute novelty in 2W vehicles. It is ADAS and is teased by CEO Bhavish Aggarwal on Twitter. Let’s take a look.Ola Electric Scooter ADAS TestingOla Scooter ADAS Tech Testing Starts – Launch Expected SoonCurrently, there are just a handful of 2W vehicles with ADAS tech onboard. These are the creme-de-la-creme of motorcycles commanding more than just a kidney. In scooters, this is unheard of. Even in big buck touring scooters, manufacturers haven’t bothered with offering ADAS and enthusiastic CEO of Ola Electric, Bhavish Aggarwal has teased it on Twitter.Yes, we’re talking about the same ADAS tech which is currently the hottest thing in the 4W vehicle realm. Most recent vehicle to launch with ADAS in India is Hyundai Verna, Tata Safari and Harrier and Honda City facelift. We’re not yet sure what Ola is trying to accomplish in terms of functionalities with its ADAS tech, but it is coming, nonetheless.Will share more in a tech demo soon! pic.twitter.com/8GVirNMOAP— Bhavish Aggarwal (@bhash) March 18, 2023In a video posted by Aggarwal, we can see an Ola test mule trundling around in Bengaluru city traffic. Only, this is equipped with a camera at its front and a digital display, replacing its left ORVM housed inside a weather-proof case. On the screen, we can read OpenADAS, which might be the name of this project internally.The system is found tracking objects in real-time and also monitoring test mule’s speed in relation to traffic. Even though ADAS might come off as overkill for a city scooter, Bengaluru’s chock-a-block traffic might suggest otherwise. We can see it being a useful safety net to glide through traffic with minimal rider inputs.Ola is highly likely to be using camera-based ADAS tech, something similar to Honda’s Sensing suite found in the City sedan. To enable ADAS to have adaptive cruise control, Ola needs to have an actuator for brakes as well for emergency braking. Or engineering a stronger regen, bringing the scooter to a complete halt might come off as less complicated as well. It is not yet sure whether existing customers can retrofit this on their scooters, but we have to wait for Ola’s tech demo.Ola front forks upgrade post recallFront Single-Sided Forks ReplacedOn the onslaught of front suspension break-downs, Ola has issued a voluntary recall. Replacements of said single-sided front forks are currently underway. It was earlier speculated that Ola would replace it with a double-sided fork, found on Ola S1 Air, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. They are getting replaced by updated single-sided forks. More

      New Harley Davidson 350cc Detailed – First Look Walkaround

      by

      If launched in India, Harley-Davidson X350 will primarily go up against 650cc bikes from Royal EnfieldHarley Davidson 350cc – X350 WalkaroundAs part of its plan to target emerging markets, Harley-Davidson recently launched X350, a new 350cc motorcycle. The bike was launched at a starting price of 33,388 Yuan, which is approximately Rs 4 lakh, as per today’s exchange rate. This is the smallest Harley bike in production and marks a shift in the company’s growth strategy.To reduce development and production cost of its low-capacity bikes, Harley has teamed up with local manufacturers. In China, X350 will be produced in collaboration with QJ Motor. Harley has a similar tie-up with Hero MotoCorp in India.Harley Davidson 350cc – X350 WalkaroundHarley-Davidson X350 WalkaroundOne of the notable aspects of Harley-Davidson X350 is its neo-retro profile. Some key features include round headlamp and rear-view mirrors, all-LED lighting, circular semi-digital instrument pod, USD front forks, sleek fuel tank, sporty graphics, golden exhaust pipes, offset rear suspension, step-up seat, alloy wheels and underbelly exhaust.Much of the machinery is fully exposed, which ensures a rugged look and feel for the bike. Colour options include Dazzling Black, Joyful Orange and Bright Silver. Take a look at the detailed walkaround video shared by Lang Thang channel.[embedded content][embedded content]Cockpit section of X350 is pretty basic with standard switch controls and a semi-digital instrument console. Users can access information such as speed, time, odometer, trip meter, etc. The bike has an ergonomic riding stance with wide handlebar and centrally mounted foot pegs. Saddle thickness has been minimized in order to achieve a sportier look. However, there shouldn’t be any discomfort, as high-quality foam material has been used.Harley X350 utilizes cast aluminium front and rear frame, integrated with 41mm inverted rebound adjustable front forks. At rear, the bike has rebound damping and preload adjustable suspension. X350 has 17-inch wheels at both ends, shod with 120/70 front and 160/60 rear tyre. Braking duties are performed by petal disc brakes at both ends, with ABS. Dry weight of X350 is 180 kg, with fuel-tank capacity of 13.5 litres.Harley-Davidson X350 performanceEquipped with a 353cc, in-line twin, liquid cooled motor, X350 churns out 36.7 PS of max power and 31 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Harley-Davidson’s next parallel-twin bike will be X500. Both X350 and X500 will share a number of hardware components to reduce production costs.Harley X500 has conventional design aesthetics and is targeted at solo riders. The engine is likely to be borrowed from Benelli 502C that makes 45 bhp and 46 Nm. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Considering X350’s price, its larger sibling could be costlier by around Rs 1 lakh. More

      2024 Hero Karizma 210cc Launch Planned – Pulsar 200 Rival

      by

      As opposed to the 223cc air-cooled engine with 20 bhp in its pocket, upcoming Hero Karizma with a liquid-cooled 210cc engine will be more potentImage for illustration purpose onlyIndian motorcycle manufacturers seem to be going back to their roots. Products that seem to be the next big thing, often disappoint where sales are concerned. Products that they replace, often come off as the more prominent and popular. We always crave what we can’t have, right? We observed this pattern with Pulsar 220F re-launch. Now, Hero is at it as well.Remember the Karizma series of faired motorcycles from Hero. How can you not? For, they were so memorable. We’re not talking about facelifted models launched in 2014, but the OG Karizma R and Karizma ZMR. Get ready to hear about them again, as they are reportedly making a grand comeback with a new liquid-cooled 210cc engine.Hero testing a new fully faired motorcycle – New Karizma?2024 Hero Karizma New Gen – 210cc Engine With Liquid CoolingEver since they were launched, Karizma series offered a lot of bang for the buck and were some of the most sought-after in its segment, rivaling Pulsar 220. Hero priced them right and even marketed them right. Bollywood star Hritik Roshan even nullifies a freaking tornado in a Karizma ZMR. I remember this because it was effective and memorable marketing.Facelifted models designed by EBR (Erik Buell Racing) were the sole holes in the ship as they single-handedly took down Karizma brand into an abyss. Hero did launch Xtreme 200S, which was supposed to be Karizma’s replacement, but really wasn’t. Now, Hero is set to bring in a new platform on which the upcoming Karizma will be based.Hero Xtreme 300S Fully Faired Motorcycle?We’re talking about a brand new frame, housing a brand new 210cc liquid-cooled engine and coupled to a brand new 6-speed gearbox. Exact specifics about this new engine are not yet out. But 25 bhp of power and 30 Nm should be reasonably adequate for this motorcycle. It would be launched as a fully faired motorcycle. Good thing about the upcoming 2024 Hero Karizma lineup is they are reportedly being designed with inspirations from OG Karizma series and not facelifted models. Phew!More Tech, More Power – Faster Than Ever BeforeGiven that Hero Karizma line represented value for money in the past, competitive pricing is likely to be the main strength. In favour of competitive pricing, Hero might skimp on USD forks and other fancy hardware like slipper clutch, ride-by-wire and more. However, we should expect disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS (at least as an option).LED lighting, Bluetooth connectivity with turn-by-turn navigation, side stand sensor with engine cut off are features that are highly likely to make it to production. Elements like 6-speed gearbox, oil-cooling and USD front forks are firsts for any production-spec Hero MotoCorp offerings. It might be launched around the all-important festive season. 2024 Karizma price could be in the range of Rs 1.5 lakh.We really hope Hero would install the same engine in Xpulse 200 as well, breathing new life into an already potent platform. With 25 bhp and 30 Nm, Hero Xpulse would absolutely fly in trails and off-roading situations. We are likely to see more “KariPulse” too, plonking this new 210cc engine in Xpulse chassis.Source More
