Yamaha to Launch YBR on 14th April
Yamaha Motor India wants to achieve its target of capturing 10% market share in the coming years by riding on volumes. The Japanese bike maker has been successful in capturing the imagination of the youth by producing performance oriented bikes likes the R15 and FZ series. The firm now wants to introduce new models that would excite the masses who are looking for a reliable commuter bike. The first bike is the Yamaha YBR 110 , which is loosely based on the Alba.
Yamaha YBR 110 has a utilitarian design with a rear carrier and very basic styling. This bike would be targeted mostly at the rural areas and the entry level segment. Going by the size and look of the engine it probably will be the 106cc mill used in the Alba, G5 and Crux with a slightly different state of tune. The engine is 4-stroke, SOHC, 2-valve which delivers maximum power of 7.5 Bhp at 7500 rpm with maximum torque of 7.8 Nm at 6000 rpm. The Yamaha YBR 110 is expected to deliver around 65-70 kmpl. Yamaha YBR 110 is expected to be priced around 45000 rupees and it is expected to be launched on 14th April, 2010.
