Yamaha is all set to re-write rules

Yes, the new has been floating around for a long time now.
Come Auto Expo 2008 and Yamaha will change the way we Indians look up at them.

Their 100cc and 125cc offerings have not being good at all, but what all of us do remember are two bikes from them - the RX100 and the RD350. While the tight emission norms killed these two bikes, we waited waited and waited! FINALLY..... they are back with something

More pictures, engine information

The new HUNK is powered by a 149.2cc (yes same as CBZ-X) engine which is good for 14.4 ps/ 14.2bhp (again same the CBZ-X). Basically everything remains same as the CBZ-X, apart from the looks! The weight seems to have gone up by 3kgs though.
And that sticker, the GRS one, means Gas Reservoir Suspension


The speedometer console is a let down! No digital stuff here. Just a tachometer, speedometer and fuel gauge. But it still somewhat has a sporty feel.


Thanks to http://www.rearset.blogspot.com for pictures. Fantastic!
