As predicted, Yamaha has launched the Vmax 2009 in India..for a whopping Rs. 20lakhs! It plans to sell 25 units of the Vmax this year of whihc 8 bookings have already been made according to the company. Yamaha has also brought back John Abraham as it's brand ambassador!

Also launched were special editions of the Yamaha FZ and Fazer.

FZ16 and Fazer in special editions! I wonder if i could get the stickers for free :P

Anyways..the super bike could be the VMAX 2009 ..n btw..FZ1 coming to India son through the semi knocked down route ;-)

NEw bike from yammie coming soooooooooooooooooooooooooon! !!

Vrroooooom time!!!

With motorcycle sales shooting northwards for most manufacturers(esp Yamaha and Hero Honda), and the growth in the premium segment, manufacturers are waking up quickly with almost all of them gearing up launches during the coming festival season.

Besides this, future plans to launch bigger bikes have been announced by Yamaha(this september a more powerful fazer awaits us(hmm..d 250 one i guess), Honda (an indigenous 250cc by 2011), TVS (200 Apache?), And Bajaj (KTm and Ninjas anyone?) Some of the bikes you could see running on Indian roads soon!

With Bajaj having reduced teh price of the P220 by a whopping 22 thousand bucks, the pressure will be on the rest, especially the japs, to come anywhere close to the price range. I guess TVS and Bajaj will benefit from the cost factor while Yamaha and bajaj will try and bring in their products at a higher price tag...

All in all, it'ss be an exciting year and the Auto expo Delhi will be one helluva affair with a slew of new launches...So keep your fingers crossed and leave your cheques blank for the time being!

The Fazer has been launched with a price tag of 72000 ex showroom! The specs are the same as the FZ16! One new colour- Electric Blue- which looks fantabulous :D has been launched!

The bike loks stunning from the front, much like the FZ1000 it emulates in terms of styling!

Also in the pipeline is a nw colour scheme for the the R15. it will have anew paint job with the well known Yamaha stripes :D

And then, the performacne kits for the R15 and the FZ are going to hit the market by around September. The FZ's kit will cost around 20-22 grands while the kit for the R15 will be around 50 grands!

Keep watching Yamaha's move..and Bajaj's too! A 22 thousand bucks less P220 sans an Fi sounds a very swet option to prospective Yammie buyers ;-)

And now..All thanks to Rodeo bro..we have new pics...and a date too :D

The New Yamaha FAZER will be launched on July 6th! It will eseentially be the FZ 16, changes will be there only in design!


Here are some pics wich are not clear but give you an idea about what's in store ;-)

Enjoy!

Should I, or should i not? :P

It;s a bit stale news...almost everyone knows about it :P

yes, I'm talking about the NEw Yamaha FZ16's faied version which is soon to hit the markets. The Bike seems to be inspired by the FZ1 of which i'm a die hard fan :D But, since i own an FZ 16, I won;t be at the liberty to buy another one soon :P

here's a spy pic taken from d net.. :P

"Rossi surprised Lorenzo by launching up the inside into the fast last turn, then kept his M1 on-line to win by just 0.095sec."


WHAT A RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did anyone of you miss the Catalunya GP? If yes! Then you missed out on soo much!!!!! Rossi fighting it out with Lorenzo(in Spain hehe)!!! It was a duel worth watching! The Italian media had been launching attacks on Rossi and had virtually written him off for yesterday's race..but the doctor showed his class! The last 3 laps were one of the best! 2 riders on the same machines---at each other's rear (tyre) :P Rossi won the battle..proving why he's d DOCTOR! However, Lorenzo showed amazing composure and grit! This lad has much potential in him and he's not afraid to give the big guns a fight...and more :D

Meanwhile...d race also saw Casey Stoner battling it out with Dovi, and he too showed that even with some problems, he can keep people of...and again :p Dovi, the young gun, showed what he's made off and the gap between him and stoner was marginal~!!!

Dani Pedrosa, suffering from injuries, was back in good form, he was with Dovi and Stoner for some part of the race but then fell back a bit!

The biggest disappointment was Toseland, who isn't able to get his hold on the MotoGP bike, it seems!

The HOT summer holidays are here and i once again plead before anyone who's reading my blog to forgive me for i've been a bad blogger, letting my blog lie static for quite some time! :(


So much has happened in the biking scene....n in the world of Motorsport! Rossi, Lorenzo, Stoner, Pedrosa, and even Hayden, Melandri, etc are looking fast! So be prepared for an action packed treat in the races to come!(Next race is tomrrow)

Coming to the Indian Biking scene, there's been much activity in the Superbike section with more SBK's coming into our market, ofcourse, via the CBU route, thereby making it even moe expensive for bikers to own! However, atleast we'll have proper service centre's, warranty, etc!

The latest entry has been from the HOnda stable, with the CBR1000 and CB1000RR(so many R's :P) hitting the Indian shores! Priced at between 11-14 lakh on road, these bikes are awesome!

More updates soon..:P
