India Yamaha which has been silent after the launch of FZ-16 and R-15 is back to the season of launches. Yamaha which showcased two motorcycles – YBR and SZ 125 at the auto expo will launch one of the motorcycle very soon. The YBR mass commuter motorcycle is expected to hit the market on April 14th. Yamaha which doesn’t have any significant presence hopes YBR would fetch customers in the mass market segment. Hero Honda dominates the 100 -125cc segment with passion and splendor followed by Bajaj with Discover. Yamaha sells crux, G5 and alba but none grabbed customer’s attention. YBR which features 110cc engine comes with moderate power and torque ratings. It features alloy wheels and electric start As showcased in the Auto Expo, YBR is not a head turner too. There is nothing exciting with YBR but pricing could be the key in this segment. We have to wait till April 14th when Yamaha launches the YBR.
