    Yamaha Reveals New Parallel Twin Engine In Tokyo: xBhp News

    Yamaha has added another engine to the 'crossplane' technology derived engines. This time it is a parallel twin.



    The engine is not a true to its name crossplane, but rather a R1 derived engine. Speculation is rife as to the capacity of the engine, with numbers swinging between 565 to 903 cc! Either ways, expect a very potent and powerful twin cylinder, which should not cost a bomb either.

    For more information on the engines read -

      Yamaha is getting really aggressive with its approach in RnD..
      a good thing for us customers in a way.. more power and performance and at not that premium price..
      lets wait n watch for the ride with this parallel twin..
      Ride safe and have fun.

              I don't think it'd be a 400cc bike bro as quoted above, it's between 565 to 903 cc, may be a R6 or another in the fz series with this twin engine. . .

                This is what we need... Guess Yamaha RnD was working very hard behind the screens to bring different configuration engines back to back .... It is a good sign and keep this going... May be a competitor to Honda parallel twins

                  Yamaha is yet in race to prove out be best in class, after the aggressive DOHC engines let see how they are gng to make wonders with these.

                    Something for the Yammy brand and at the right time and especially for India.

                    The girl said, 'NO!'


                    And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

                            Well i still doubt it to be a R25 or any other quarter litre bike from Yamaha segment, as it can be easily seen it has many distinguishing style difference from its superior designs especially the tail, the head lamps and tank.
                            Also it is been announced that R25 will be launched first in South East Asia especially in Thailand and Singapore first in late Nov'13, so this has no similarity with the news part too.
                            Moreover it has been confirmed that it would be similar in shape and design of that of R125(made especially for European market), and we can easily see the dash board is completely different from any of the Yamaha prototypes, the tail is different from R125, tank design resembles those of a Honda and even the graphics is somewhat different from the usual style of Yamaha bikes.
                            All though there have been instances where multiple copies of world brands have come from China and recent news of ZJMM R12 which was the exact copy of CBR250R is the latest example.


                            AND THIS IS NOT R250 IT IS CHINA MADE XGJ250-21 250cc RACING MOTORCYCLE LAUNCHED LAST YEAR

                              too many wishes Yamaha will spank us all if we ask for too much..
                              i'm waiting for a surprise from them, the last they gave was when R15 was launched.. since then they ignoring us like hell..
                              Ride safe and have fun.
