Yamaha launches YBR 110

YBR 110 is the answer to the entry level segment from Yamaha to Bajaj and HH

In order to further strengthen themselves at the entry level segment Yamaha India have launched their 110cc bike called the YBR 110.

This bike along with the Yamaha SZ was displayed at the Auto Expo in January as the concept models. However there were indications that they will come up in the market soon.

More than the YBR 110 everyone speculated that the Yamaha SZ will come into the market first but it was for the YBR 110 to show its presence.

After getting the success in the 150cc segment through their YZF R15 and FZ series Yamaha wanted to launch a new model in the entry level segment which has not been doing pretty well after the poor response to the Alba and Crux.

The YBR comes up with 4 stroke air cooled SOHC engine designed for low end torque for everyday city riding conditions. The bike has a 4 speed gear box with gear ratios in such a manner so as to provide less gear shifts in the heavy traffic conditions. The graphics and the grab rail adds to the sportiness of the bike.

The YBR will cost around Rs. 41,000 (ex-showroom Delhi) and will be available in three colors of Red, Black and the third one will be the combination of the two colors.

In case you are interested in this bike then you would have to wait as this bike will take some time before hitting the showrooms. While enquiring about the same with one of the dealerships I was told that it will take some time before this bike shows up at the showroom due to some pending approvals.

Yamaha SZ and YBR- the next launches from Yamaha?

Yamaha SZYamaha YBR

Two concept motorcycles from Yamaha called the Yamaha SZ and Yamaha YBR were on display at the 2010 auto expo. These two bikes if launched would be targeted at the commuter segment. While the YBR looked pretty simple the SZ is the one to watch out for.

Although these are just concept bikes and no details regarding the technical specs are out or their launch time frame for that matter, we have a strong feeling that these two bikes will be the next launches from Yamaha for 2010.

The YBR looked somewhat like a 100cc bike whereas the SZ can have a slightly more powerful engine, perhaps in the 125cc range. One thing which I noticed was none of them had front disc brakes meaning these will be low capacity commuters.
