      Is this 60K 150CC bike is jus an ordinary 150 or different like an R15... mmm a FZ 250CC??? i alread own an FZ16... hop they make a 250 of R15... Fingers crossed...
      whatever information my friend has is that Yamaha is considering either gladiator 150 or planning a variant of FZ with some changes like thinner tyre,seats suitable for family use,kick as standard to make it little cheaper for making it accessible to persons who worry for mileage and also use in family purpose( dont worry present FZ with broader tyres will still be available).And regarding R15's new variant it is true that old models supply has been stopped and new R15 will be launched with broader tyres & led tail.

          and the news @ 200 / 2500 cc bike . It's great that you believe in your source and his information. Indeed is a great news for all the bike lovers and this auto expo will truly be a exhilarating one. Waiting for 5th Jan ...

            Yamaha...bring it on

            gladiator 150 and R15 with a better back is most welcome. hope the R15 with wider tyres will have more power on tap (especially on the lower range) . i personally wish to see an optional "high" handle bar (like the one on the ZMR) for the R15

              well as far as i can think . yamaha might come up with a new 165 cc bike
              but there are some changes expected to be seen in r15 / because one of my friend his name is fahad he rides bikes for yamaha said that a new r15 is on its way . but didnt commented on a 165 cc bike

                  No!

                  No wider rear tire for the R15. Or atleast dont stop the manufacture of the current MRF tire (Nylogrip Zapper-S) 100/80. There are people who want this 'thin' 'bicycle' tire, including me.

                  But yes, definitely the rear panel and the tail lights need to be changed into something more R125/R6/R1 esque design...
                  You get the point?? :D

                              Yes i heard that they are reducing the price to an Mind blowing 90K....
                              To Cope up with other 150cc's...

                                @all : From what I see, things are getting a little steamier here.... Probably way to steamy bases on information with no real concrete evidence.... As i earlier said the Glady 150 might be the least probable one...

                                My opinion is really simple... If Honda was to launch another 150, that would make complete sense... I will tell you why... The Honda Unicorn is the only available 150cc in its stable, with the traits of a complete executive commuter and no sports traits in it what so ever.... So if Honda were to launch a Bike in the 150cc segment, that would make complete sense and might as well sell.... I am sure Unicorn owners would love goodies like ... Digital Speedo and tacho, Split seats and grab rails.... Rear sets and sunk in front end and not to mention a split handle bar.... I like the Glady as it is, because it is perfectly placed in its segment for its price range and its features....

                                The FZ and the Fazer are the ones competing with the Unicorns the Hunks the Apaches and the Pulsars.... At the current situation, people should have stopped expecting a 150cc with a price tag of 60 - 65 k from Yamaha (NOT GONNA HAPPEN)

                                If they are launching 3 new bikes... my personal forecast would be

                                1. A Fazer 250 - To give a fight to the ZMR, definitely not the ninja.....
                                2. An Underbone - To target the Scoot segment...
                                3. One for the Commuter segment (100cc or the 125cc)
