  • New Yamaha V-ixion spotted in Indonesia!

    the next generation of the yamaha vixion has been spotted doing the rounds in indonesia.

    as we all know, yamaha vixion is the base on which the R15 was developed. the vixion was first launched in indonesia in 2007. since then, it has only received minor cosmetic upgrades to keep the product fresh!

    this time, yamaha indonesia has planned a major upgrade for the vixion. it will receive an updated injection system (probably a closed-loop system), performance spec similar to R15, totally new styling (which looks similar to the bajaj pulsar 200ns), and many more upgrades!

    you can find the below article from tmcblog (article is in indonesian. feel free to use google translate).



    spyshots of the new bike have been posted regularly since quite a few weeks and this is the first time clear pictures of the bike has been posted!

    you can find more info on the below links (also in indonesian)

    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

        also looks like the sym cevalo 125.

        in my opinion, a disappointing design. the pulsar 200ns has a much better design (they will be direct competitors, price-wise)

        many people were hoping for a naked r15 v2 or even something similar to the fazer250

              It seems to have larger dia forks, analog instruments, and no clip ons.

                Its supposed to have new semi-digital instruments. it would be a pity if it didnt have one, as its the industry norm.

                No clip-ons. This bike is targetted for the "Power Commuter" or "Sport Commuter" segment. Hence, they will use similar set-up as the fz16.

                  the new vixion will be equipped with a closed-loop injection system! This system will be more advanced than the one in the R15 v2

                        I second that..

                        only if Yamaha is thinking to launch something in price bracket of P200NS(or say slightly costlier) to counter attack Bajaj's sales..

                          More pics have emerged of the upcoming bike!

                          The tank has a similar design to the likes of XJ6 and ER6.

                          Digital speedo looks similar in design to the one used in pulsar 200ns

                              For India.
                              I think it i will be a competitor for cb Dazzler. The FI and Oil Cooled is really an advantage. Good if priced between INR 90K-100K.
