New Yamaha naked motorcycle expected to be unveiled on January 24, 2017.
The company was missing its range of motorcycle in the fastest growing segment in the India market – the 200-250 cc segment. Not only this segment is seeing good sales, but has also been reporting rapid increase in sales over the past few years. Now its not too late for the Japanese brand to foray into this segment, instead is the right time!
From the spyshots, it is evident that the new Yamaha naked motorcycle will be priced extremely competitive unlike the R3 which retails for Rs. 3.5 lakh on-road. It draws styling cues from the current FZ series, and borrowed parts like discs, foot pegs, number plate holder, etc from existing Yamaha machines (i.e. R15, FZ).
