Yamaha Motors India introduced a street sports bike in India sometime ago.They say its inspired from the race bike THE YAMAHA R1-one of the fastest bikes on earth. Its powered by a puny 150cc engine giving out approx 17 BHP.
It features a full fairing, front and rear disc, monoshock suspension system at the rear and twin lights.Once you see the bike, you would be impressed with the looks of it till you see those skinny tires-they look damn bad- I would request Yamaha to at least give broader tires to have the feel and look of a true sports bike!
The on-road price of this bike is approx 1.09 lac. Yeah, still cheaper than a Nano(approx Rs 20000).Now, keep this bike adjacent to the beautiful Nano, and judge yourself!Tata still rules!
Tata Nano plant problem sorted out finally, its about to roll out soon, Yamaha is gonna have some tough competition !
