    Yamaha Prices June 2022 Hiked – R15, MT15, Aerox, FZ S, RayZR, Fascino

    With the price hike, Yamaha is not offering anything new with their productsImage – Power RacerYamaha has always had a huge success with its motorcycles in India. Some, a lot and others, not so much. With motorcycles like YZF-R15 and MT15, Yamaha targets the younger and enthusiast motorcycle market and it has a good range of 125 cc scooters too. Yamaha hasn’t made it big in the budget commuter segment as they hoped. They had the YBR, SZ-R, Saluto, Alba, Gladiator, Libero, Crux and some more.Now, Yamaha has completely discarded the budget commuter segment altogether. Yamaha only targets premium buyers now. Scooters? Only 125 cc. Commuters? Starts from 150 cc. Yamaha also has pretty high price tags too. On top of it, Yamaha recently announced another price hike for their products without any additions. Some are hiked less while some are hiked more.Yamaha Scooter Prices June 2022Few Yamaha products like FZ 25, FZS 25, R15 V3 sold as R15S, drum brake variants of Fascino Hybrid and Ray ZR Hybrid are not the recipients of this price hike. The pricing that these products bore will be retained as we go forward.Coming to the scooters first, disc brake variants of Fascino Hybrid and RayZR Hybrid get around 0.57 to 0.6% hike across their colour options. This amounts to a flat Rs. 500 hike across their colour range. Aerox 155, on the other hand, gets a Rs. 2,000 price hike taking the price to Rs. 1,38,800 (ex-sh) with 1.46% price hike.Yamaha Scooter Prices June 2022Yamaha Motorcycle Prices June 2022Yamaha FZ-FI, FZS-FI, and FZS-FI Deluxe get a price hike of Rs. 1,000 each.

The neo-retro themed FZ-X gets the same Rs. 1,000 hike which takes its price to Rs. 1,31,400 with a 0.77% price hike. (all prices ex-sh)Like Aerox 155, MT15 V2 also gets a hefty Rs. 2,000 price hike. MT15 V2 was recently launched and it got a price hike within 2 months of its launch.

    New Yamaha R125 Sport Pack Launched – Official Accessories Detailed

    This new sport pack will benefit everyone that wants a little more oomph from their R125 on their favourite race track2022 Yamaha R125 Sport PackYamaha’s YZF-R series of motorcycles are very popular here in India and around the world. Of the lot, we only get one YZF-R series motorcycle in India, the rest of the series is quite impressive. Starting from the bottom, we have YZF-R125, YZF-R15, YZF-R25, YZF-R3, YZF-R6 and the creme de la creme YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M.Even though India only gets YZF-R15, it is one of the most sought after sports motorcycles in the country. With a huge fan following, Yamaha YZF-R15 is currently in its 4th gen model and is going strong with consistent sales figures. But India never got the YZF-R125 that is on sale globally. In Europe, it is very popular too and to keep the popularity, Yamaha has launched a Sport Pack for the motorcycle.2022 Yamaha R125 Sport PackIt’s a known fact by now that Yamaha’s YZF-R series of motorcycles have a sporty pedigree. The baby YZF-R is no exception at all. R125 is a commendable track bike and competes well with KTM RC 125.To aid the rider on his track day, Yamaha has thrown in a Sport Pack. Yamaha already sold track specific accessories like an optional Akrapovic exhaust. Coupled with the Sport Pack, R125 is expected to be a completely different animal.[embedded content][embedded content]As part of the package, it gets a new windscreen with a larger bubble that aids the rider in deflecting wind over his/her helmet when ducked. It also gets new frame sliders which have a carbon fibre finish, a tank pad with a carbon fibre finish, new stickers on wheels and new LED indicators. R125 gets some weight saving in terms of a new tail tidy unit too.Yamaha’s R125 which is on sale in Europe, is not based on the YZF-R15 V4 that is on sale in India. Instead, it is based on R15 Gen 3 which is now sold as YZF-R15S in India. It is powered by a 124.7 cc single-cylinder engine that is liquid cooled and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. This entry level sports bike makes 14.96 PS and 11.5 Nm. When compared to its main rival, RC 125 from KTM, R125 makes 0.4 PS more power but makes 0.5 Nm less torque.Price & LaunchThe price of this 2022 Yamaha R125 Sport Pack is around GBP 391 (approx Rs. 37,000) and for everything that it comes with, is quite justifiable. But what isn’t even remotely justifiable is the price of the motorcycle. In Europe, YZF-R125 costs around GBP 5,000 (approx Rs. 4.73 lakh) and the Sport Pack adds GBP 391 more. This takes the overall price to GBP 5391 (approx Rs. 5.10 lakh). It gets two attractive colour options Icon Blue and Yamaha Black.Fully loaded 2022 Yamaha R125 Sport PackYamaha is highly unlikely to launch the R125 in India. We don’t see it happening at all as the 125 cc category is often compared to a commuter in India. No matter what equipment it gets, the Indian track scene is still immature and the craze for a low-capacity super sports machine is very thin. More

    New Yamaha X Force 155cc Scooter Debuts – R15 Engine

    Yamaha X-Force gets some feature additions over the Aerox 155 that is on sale in India2022 Yamaha X Force 155cc ScooterJapan gets all the good stuff. We have been telling this for a long time now and it hasn’t made any difference at all. This is especially true when it comes to the automotive industry. The JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) vehicles are so good that they have a cult following. The modifying culture that these JDM vehicles enjoy are totally drool-worthy.Despite being one of the world’s largest two-wheeler markets, Japanese automotive manufacturers often don’t bring their entire product line-up to India. Same goes with Yamaha. The company’s motorcycle and scooter portfolio for JDM just got a new entrant.2022 Yamaha X Force 155cc ScooterYamaha has been making good use of its 155 cc engine in scooters. We’ve seen the NMax 155, we’ve seen the Aerox 155 and now, Yamaha has equipped the potent R15’s engine on a new maxi-scooter. In comes Yamaha’s new kid on the block, X-Force maxi-styled scooter.2022 Yamaha X Force 155cc Scooter is aiming to appeal to millennials and gen Z as reflected by its youthful and sporty styling. Just like Yamaha’s NMax maxi-scooter, X-Force is also based on the company’s successful Aerox 155 platform. This currently Japan-exclusive scooter lacks one thing from the Aerox 155 and NMax 155 that makes it more practical than those two. That is the central spine.2022 Yamaha X Force 155cc ScooterLack of the central spine has carved out a lot of foot space and due to the flat floor board, it also opens up a lot of luggage space too. Like Aerox 155, it gets the liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 155 cc engine with VVA (variable valve actuation) making 14.7bhp and 14 Nm. We can also expect similar fuel efficiency figures to the Aerox 155.2022 Yamaha X Force 155cc ScooterFeatures & LaunchIn terms of features, X-Force gets LED lighting all around and is coupled with a USB charging port for charging electronic gadgets on the go. It gets a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. This allows users to connect their smartphones to this LCD cluster and get call and SMS alerts and more such connected features.The headlamps get a split design with separate chambers for low beam and high beam. Front indicators are neatly integrated into the scooter’s body. Above the headlights, we see a Yamaha logo and a smoked visor to deflect wind blast away from the rider. It gets a 267 mm disc at front and a 230 mm unit at the rear and connecting the two, is a dual-channel ABS system.2022 Yamaha X Force 155cc ScooterIn terms of suspension, it gets telescopic units at front and twin shockers at the rear. This scooter rides on 13” wheels unlike the 14” wheels on Aerox 155. It is shod with 120/70 rubber in the front and 130/70 rubber in the rear.Yamaha is charging a price of JPY 3,96,000 (Rs. 2.3 lakh ex-sh) for the equipment X-Force gets. Yamaha is highly unlikely to bring this scooter to India as its sibling, Aerox 155 is priced at Rs. 1.38 lakh (ex-sh) over here. Yamaha would have a tough time justifying almost double the price for a similar platform. It mainly competes against Honda’s Vario 160 in Japan. More

    Yamaha Electric Scooter Prototype Getting Ready – Production Likely At TN Plant

    Yamaha electric scooter could be launched at a competitive price point, as majority of parts will be sourced from local vendorsYamaha E01 Electric ScooterWith electric two-wheeler segment registering strong growth, ICE experts like Yamaha are stepping up focus in this space. The company’s chairman Eishnin Chihana has said that they are in the process of developing an electric scooter for Indian market.Currently, Yamaha India’s R&D team at Chennai has started making the prototype electric scooter. It is likely to enter production at the company plant in Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu. Yamaha expects about 30% of their buyers to opt for EV in 3-5 years.Based on Neo’sEarlier this year in April, Yamaha showcased two of its electric scooters to its dealers. One was E01, which has already been trademarked in India. The other scooter was Neo’s, which is available in select international markets. Neo’s was originally launched as a 50cc ICE scooter. Its electric version came later.Earlier, it was felt that E01 has a higher chance of being launched in India. The E01 concept maxi-styled scooter was first unveiled at 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. In terms of performance, it is comparable to a 125cc petrol scooter. It has three ride modes and range is expected to be approximately 70-80 km.Yamaha Electric Scooters Showcased To Dealers In India. Image – Nikam YamahaHowever, Yamaha seems to be more inclined towards using Neo’s for developing its first electric scooter for India. It could be tweaked to suit Indian conditions, for example, more power and higher range. In European markets, Neo’s electric scooter has a range of 37 km. Range can be increased with the use of a dual battery pack.While 37 km range seems quite low, Yamaha has kept it that way intentionally. The range is based on a survey that revealed average per day travel distance to be around 25-35 km. However, the survey doesn’t account for the fact that at this low range, users will have to charge their scooters every day. Interestingly, the India-spec Yamaha electric scooter could also be exported to Europe.Yamaha is still to finalize the range of its electric scooter for India. It may take some time to achieve a balance between performance and range. Chihana has stated that it will be difficult to achieve a real world range of 100 km with existing battery management technologies. This is especially true for performance-oriented electric scooters with speeds of around 45 to 60 kmph.Local sourcingAs of now, a significant percentage of EV manufacturers rely on imported components for their electric vehicles. This can create dependencies that may have adverse impact on production in case of unforeseen events like pandemic, war, etc. Using imported components also makes it difficult to keep a tab on quality. It limits the scope for design and performance improvements and to make the EV available at a competitive price point.In view of these challenges, Yamaha has decided to source much of the components for its electric scooter from local vendors. The company will also work to ensure that the motor and battery pack can endure the extreme climate conditions in India. Yamaha has stated that it will be focusing on quality. Yamaha’s first electric scooter for India will be a joint collaboration project involving Yamaha India and Yamaha Japan.Source More

    Yamaha MT15, KTM Duke Parts Create This Modified Motorcycle – Rs 1.8 L

    The cost for this modification is more than the price of a pre-owned Yamaha MT 25Yamaha MT15 and KTM Duke parts – Modified MotorcycleHave you ever thought about what would happen if Yamaha and KTM designers got together to launch a motorcycle? Have you ever thought about how it would look? Ever thought about what design traits would it inherit? It is a funny thought, isn’t it? I’m sure you must be blank right now. But we’re not actually joking with this. We are going to show you the fusion of Yamaha and KTM design.A conservative person would never dream of doing anything close to what Indonesian citizen Cak Rian has done. It is because Cak Rian isn’t a conservative person. His mind has an artistic side. An artist’s vision only makes sense in the mettle. So, he put his foot aside and went on to create what he was aching to do. We have Yamaha’s motorcycles modified to the max before. But not like this.Yamaha MT15 and KTM Duke parts – Modified MotorcycleYamaha Modified With MT15, KTM PartsThe concept of mixing and matching elements of two different motorcycle manufacturers originating from two different countries and cultures following two entirely different design languages, feels wrong, doesn’t it?It feels like adding raw onions to pastries. In short, it should look like an abomination of sorts. At least that’s what I was expecting before looking at the motorcycle closely. Because it lends a whole different perspective.Yamaha MT15 and KTM Duke parts – Modified MotorcycleEven though this custom motorcycle sounds wrong, it surely doesn’t look wrong. The choice of parts and their cohesion is where this custom bike shines. Everything on the motorcycle looks cohesive and they look like they belong together. The motorcycle looks like it came straight out of the factory as the fit and finish are also very stupendous.Yamaha MT15 and KTM Duke parts – Modified MotorcycleFor starters, it is based on Yamaha Vixion R’s frame and engine. Vixion R was sold as a naked version of R15 old gen in some countries. The model in question, which has been modified, is a 2015 Vixion R. Everything else seems to be changed though. The fuel tank and body panels come from a Yamaha MT15. The LED headlights are lifted straight off a KTM 390 Duke. The front USD forks finished in gold are also from MT15.Cost & HomologationThe rear swingarm was a box-section type on the original bike which has been swapped with Yamaha R25’s sophisticated swingarm. The stock wheels are replaced with 3” wide wheel at front and 5.5” wide wheel at the rear, both from V Rossi brand and shod with Michelin rubber.Yamaha MT15 and KTM Duke parts – Modified MotorcycleThe wheels and some body panels are hydro dipped with a carbon-fibre pattern. It also gets dual disc brakes at the front from Honda CBR 600. It also has the exhaust system lifted straight off a Yamaha R6. The tail-lights are from Yamaha MT-09.There are hundreds more parts that went on this modified Vixion R motorcycle. A list so huge, it would have taken 5 more posts like this to cover every tiny detail. When everything is accounted for, it culminates in an amount totalling 33 million Indonesian Rupiah (Rs. 1.8 lakh approx) excluding labour and service charges. For this money, the owner could have easily got himself a pre-owned MT25. But the heart wants what it wants and it looks like Cak Rian’s heart was set on this.Source More

    2022 Yamaha MT15 Review – The Perfect Update?

    Yamaha has already registered a record sales volume of nearly 10,000 for the new MT15 in April 20222022 Yamaha MT15 ReviewYamaha launched the updated version of MT15 more than a month ago. The naked streetfighter has always lived under the shadows of its fully-faired sibling which holds high regard among the Indian motorcycling community. Based on the fourth-gen R15 that was launched in September last year, the new 2022 Yamaha MT-15 comes with a series of updates over its predecessor. So is the latest iteration of MT-15 able to establish its own identity this time? Let’s find out.2022 Yamaha MT15 Review – Design, QualityOn the styling aspect, there isn’t any significant change in the new MT15 in comparison to its outgoing version. However, subtle updates like addition of gold anodised front forks have enhanced the bike’s visual appeal. It also gets an interesting palette of colour options including Racing Blue, Metallic Black and new additions like Ice Fluo-Vermillion and Cyan Blue.Our test bike was wrapped in the Cyan Blue paint scheme which we personally felt was eye-grabbing and suited well with the bike’s personality. The colour-coded alloy wheels further accentuate the sporty contrast of the motorcycle. Visual updates on the street naked motorcycle end here. It gets the same front face with single pod LED projector headlamp and twin eyebrow-shaped LED DRLs.Although the design remains largely intact, Yamaha has certainly made some improvements in quality and fit and finish when compared to the older model. Although not very premium, quality of switchgear is acceptable and the instrument console is clearly legible even under sunlight. More importantly, there are no panel gaps and the quality of plastics and rubber used in the bike is better.2022 Yamaha MT15 ReviewErgonomics & ComfortAs far as ergonomics go, the new MT-15 gets slightly rear-set footpegs that enable a committed riding posture. If the older and new models are kept side by side, one would notice that the updated MT-15 gets a slightly lower stance due to repositioning of the handlebar that has been set lower. This results in a slightly more aggressive riding position but is still fairly comfortable for city commutes.The rider’s seat is broad and comfortable, however, that is not the case for the pillion where real estate is limited and even a few minutes more than half an hour could be painful. If you are looking to carry a pillion regularly for your commutes we suggest you look somewhere else.FeaturesYamaha has made some small updates to its equipment. For instance, the instrument cluster is now compatible with Bluetooth connectivity and the Y-Connect mobile app that offers features like call, message, email alerts on the console. That said, we would have liked Yamaha to offer the more advanced X-Connect mobile app that comes with turn-by-turn navigation. It also benefits from a side stand engine inhibitor switch.2022 Yamaha MT15 ReviewRide & HandlingThe new MT-15 is underpinned by the same delta box frame as its predecessor but gets linked with a new aluminium swingarm instead of a box-section unit. More importantly, it gets new 37mm upside-down front forks which brings some noticeable change in its dynamics. While the MT-15 was always a good handler, its latest version is a lot sharper and handles more precisely, thus offering more confidence to new riders.At 139 kilos, the naked streetfighter is extremely nimble and easy to flick around corners and maneuver through tight spaces in bumper to bumper traffic. In addition, a wide and low handlebar offers a good purchase for lock-to-lock turns and quick direction changes. Thanks to the new aluminium swingarm, rear end of new MT-15 feels a lot more stable and offers more confidence while leaning into corners2022 Yamaha MT15 ReviewThe outer tube has been bolted to the chassis for rigidity and balance. A flip side to this is that the entire suspension setup now feels a lot firmer which is great in terms of handling but loses out on a plush ride. Each and every undulation on the surface including bumps and potholes is felt quite sharply when seated on top. A softer setup considering Indian roads might have been more welcome.Engine & PerformancePowering the latest iteration of MT-15 is the same 155cc liquid-cooled, four-valve engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA0 technology. However, this time it has been tuned slightly differently for friendlier city usage and as a result output is down by 0.1 bhp and peak torque has been bumped up by 0.2 Nm. The motor now cranks out 18.14 bhp at 10,000rpm and 14.1 Nm at 7,500rpm.2022 Yamaha MT15 ReviewThe most prominent update in this motor is how tractable it has become at city speeds. One can easily crawl at speeds of 20-25 kmph in the fourth gear without the fear of engine stalling. This also helps in extracting better fuel efficiency. Even in higher gears there is enough torque to play with and no matter which gear you’re in, you just need to open the throttle hard to extract all the juice.The best highlight about this VVA motor is not its top-end performance but how easily it builds up speed from the bottom end. That said, Yamaha has kept the high-revving nature of this engine intact and you instantly feel the boost kick in thanks to VVA after 7,000rpm till a red line of 10,000rpm. However, significant vibrations are felt in the handlebar and footpegs once you go past 5,500rpm.2022 Yamaha MT15 ReviewAlso, the engine starts sounding very coarse when taken close to the rev limiter. While we didn’t get a chance to test its performance figures, the motorcycle does feel strained at around 100-110 kmph. A smooth and quick-shifting gearbox complemented by a swift clutch action with slip and assist makes it a very likeable city bike. However, an optional quick-shifter might have resulted in a more engaging experience.One disappointing aspect is its braking which needed more bite, especially for the rear wheel. Also, for a bike that would easily cost about Rs 1.80 lakh (on-road), it misses out on dual-channel ABS which we are unable to wrap our heads around.2022 Yamaha MT15 ReviewVerdictPriced at Rs 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom), the new 2022 MT-15 is around Rs 10,000 to Rs 12,000 dearer than its predecessor. For the additional premium, one gets significant updates but also misses out on a few crucial ones. It certainly feels more engaging to ride, thanks to its updated hardware and is also easy to handle for any amateur rider.However, lack of a dual-channel ABS and an optional quick-shifter hurt its value for money proposition. Given the updates R15 V4 has received, we feel Yamaha has missed a crucial opportunity by being a little too conservative in its approach towards MT15 V2. Should you consider it? Surely, especially people who are looking for a fun-to-ride, compact and fast motorcycle primarily for city commutes will love what the new MT-15 has on offer. More
