      Yamaha R1 To Be Discontinued In 2025 – Due To Emission Standards

      by

      Yamaha R1 To Be DiscontinuedYamaha R1 range to discontinue post EU5+ emission standards kick in from 2025Serving as poster motorcycles for generations of motorcycling enthusiasts, Yamaha R1 range is set to go on the pages of history books post EU5+ emission standards mandate. This is a rather surprising move and is likely to catch the motorcycling fraternity off-guard. Both Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1 M will continue to be on sale till EU5+ emission standard deadline.Yamaha R1 Range To Discontinue Post EU5+ Emission StandardsPost EU5+ emission standard mandate, there won’t be any litre-class from Team Blue at all. This is a common trend that motorcycle manufacturers are currently following. Suzuki, for one, has done the same thing. At the fag end of 2022, Suzuki pulled the plug on GSX-R1000R and was the first of the Big Four to have a portfolio devoid of a litre-class offering.Yamaha R1 To Be DiscontinuedFast forwarding to 2024, Yamaha is following Suzuki’s footsteps and is pulling the plug on its litre-class YZF-R1 and YZF-R1 M. Yamaha Motor Group has decided to drop its litre-class motorcycle offerings post EU5+ emission standard. This means Yamaha won’t develop EU5+ versions of R1 and R1 M litre-class motorcycles.The company also expressed intentions to shift focus towards mid-term business and product strategies for future opportunities. Both Yamaha R1 and R1 M will continue to be on sale till 2025 when the cut-off for EU5+ emission standards comes into effect. Even though this comes off as shocking, this is likely to be a strategy that other manufacturers may follow in the future.Yamaha R1 To Be DiscontinuedWhat next?More manufacturers are shying away from premium, low volume and high value offerings in favour of higher volume vehicles. Appealing to the masses is key as it would generate more volume for more mid-tier offerings. The deadline is far away and buyers can get their hands on one till the EU5+ emission standard kicks in 2025.There is a very good probability that Yamaha will continue to manufacture R1 and R1 M post EU5+ emission standard mandate. However, these will be track only, as emission standards don’t apply to track machines. These motorcycles could feature free flowing exhausts and raunchier tunes along with significant weight savings.These might miss out on elements like indicators, headlights, number plates and other paraphernalia mandated for road-going motorcycles. Yamaha took this track-spec route when the R6 (4-cylinder model) was discontinued. The market is gravitating towards sub litre-class motorcycles for lightness and agility.Upcoming Yamaha R9 could emerge as the company’s new flagship motorcycle offering, where fully-faired bikes are concerned. Yamaha India axed R1 long back. The motorcycle came equipped with a 998cc 4-cylinder engine with 194.3 bhp of peak power and 112.4 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. More

      by

      Daytona Clip-On Handlebar Kit For Honda CB350 Lineup – Matte BlackDaytona Introduces Sporty Clip-On Handlebars for 2024 Honda CB350 Lineup, Enhancing its Neo-Retro AppealThe 350cc motorcycle market in India has been dominated by Royal Enfield’s Classic 350, but competitors are emerging to grab a share of this lucrative niche. The recent introduction of the Jawa 350 and updated Honda’s CB350 lineup has added more variety to this segment. In Japan, where the CB350 is available, motorcycle enthusiasts can now opt for a sportier riding experience with the introduction of race-style clip-on handlebars from Daytona.Exploring the 2024 Honda CB350 Lineup with Daytona’s Clip-On HandlebarsThe Honda CB350 lineup has made a significant impact in India, competing with the iconic Royal Enfield Classic 350. Sold in Japan, Australia, and select ASEAN nations, these motorcycles are manufactured in India and then shipped to Japan, where they are marketed under the GB350 branding. The standard GB350 corresponds to India’s H’ness CB350, GB350 S to CB350 RS, and GB350 C to CB350 (Classic).Daytona Clip-On Handlebar Kit For Honda CB350 Lineup – BuffedWhile the entire 2024 CB350 lineup in Japan comes equipped with conventional handlebars, the renowned aftermarket parts manufacturer, Daytona Corp, has introduced a new set of sporty clip-on handlebars designed specifically for the Honda CB350 lineup. This departure from conventional styling adds a neo-retro touch to the motorcycles, bringing them closer to the aesthetics of a Cafe Racer.In 2023, Honda in India launched the “My CB, My Way” campaign, offering Custom Kits for the CB350. One of the most appealing kits was the Cafe Racer Custom, priced at Rs. 22,200 for CB350 and Rs. 17,500 for CB350 RS. However, these kits missed the inclusion of clip-on handlebars, which are now offered by Daytona as a separate accessory.2024 Honda CB350 Clip-On HandlebarsDiscovering the Daytona Kit FeaturesDaytona’s kit, named “Separate Handset GB350/S (2023 Specification),” includes a top bridge, handle clamp, handle, throttle sleeve, clutch cable, throttle cable, and a brake hose. The kit is available in two finishes – Buffed (chrome) and Matte Black. The Buffed finish complements the H’ness CB350 (GB350), while the Matte Black suits the CB350 RS (GB350 S). The pricing for the Buffed finish is JPY 61,600, and the Matte Black is priced at JPY 57,200, approximately Rs. 34,000 and Rs. 31,600 in Indian currency, considering current exchange rates.2024 Honda CB350 Clip-On HandlebarsThe enhancement of the Honda CB350 lineup with Daytona’s clip-on handlebars not only elevates the visual appeal but also offers riders a chance to personalize their motorcycles for a sportier and more dynamic riding experience. As the retro classic motorcycle segment continues to evolve, aftermarket upgrades like these contribute to the individuality and customization options available to motorcycle enthusiasts.It’s worth noting that the 2024 Honda CB350 lineup, whether in its standard form or with Daytona’s clip-on handlebars, retains its reliable performance with a single-cylinder air-cooled SOHC 4V 348cc engine generating 20.7 bhp and 29.4 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox and features a slipper clutch for smoother gear transitions. As the demand for unique and customized motorcycles grows, collaborations between manufacturers and aftermarket specialists like Daytona are likely to shape the future of the motorcycle market. More
