No new bike from Yamaha. I was so much expecting a surprise from Yamaha..

If Yamaha still doesnt launch a 250 cc bike, it is the most boring company!! Launching new variants of 150 cc bikes again and again is less than impressive.

Many people are saying that Yamaha will bring in a 250cc FZ or Fazer to India.
I just looked up the specs sheet of the Fazer 250 which is being sold in some other markets and it sucks... seriously, the power output is lot, styiling is highly outdated and its an SOHC whereas all other 250cc's are DOHC's

I seriously doubt if Yamaha is going to launch a bike with that same engine, because i would prefer a p220 when compared to this.

On the other hand i also doubt if they are developing any new 250cc engine because if they were gonna launch a new 250cc in Jan 2012, we would have had some spy pic of it.

Cbr600rr

Any update on the CBR600RR?
Would be tough for Honda to price it competitively..The ninja 650 retails at $7199 in the US (priced at ~5 lacs in India) whereas the CBR (w/o ABS) MSRPs at $11450! Wonder what would CBR sell at in India then..

EDIT: Just read now that it would be CBR600F that would be coming to India...Pls read the above accordingly..

what increment in power out can we expect from the new pulsar 150s, 180s and others (if there are coming)?

really really big, because its using KTM's heart..
we can witness a bump in quality & power
