For me & many of us, "BIG" is supposed to be FZ1 (which was in final stages of hoimologation) and FZ6 ...

FZ250 is "acceptably" big. ok?

But, what you say is that it bridges the gap between R15 & FZ 16. Means less powerful than R15 ...? So, what's so big about it?

Comeon yar,give Yamaha atleast some more time.I am sure they would have planned something big for the auto expo 2010.I meant by killing of the competition it may face by likes of a180,new pulsar series,new honda150 on line.Dont you think that something close to having the best of both r15 and fz with power range something similar to p200 would be enough for the competition

thats what i heard from the yam dealers in Bangalore also. its a new FZ with 250cc mill.

this new fz would fill up the gap between fz and R15

is what ways? in terms of power/style?!

@samarth: for me, when i look at these litre bikes in India, it feels like caged 'ghost and the darkness'. if you know what i mean.
so yes, FZ1 is what you call a big bike. alrite. but a good 250cc bike with a resonable price tag and which stands a step ahead of zma is what i would call as a good and big move by yammies.
and this is something i am looking forward to as my next buy and to dump my present 180ug3.

my 2 pncs. peace!

even i think that r125 would not be coming to india,what yamaha may do is that modify gladiator to be a better looking bike just like what honda has done to shine.At present Yamaha's main intention is to be at top at premium segment of 150cc and above.I am sure once a180 and new honda 150 comes then Yamaha would come with their new Fz having the best of both Fz and R15 with decent power of around 200cc and just kill the competition.

We all know what the engine of the Gladiator is capable of and what other bikes are being powered by it.
If we are lucky we might as well get the Gladiator 165 as it was showcased in the expo. Not much use of a R125 here when the R15 is already there,in my humble opinion. We need a good tourer from Yamaha. And the Gladiator with more power would fit the role quite well.
Aaahhhhhhh.......dream on boy.
