Pulsar 125 review

  Back in the early 2000s the Indian automobile industry saw a shift similar to what we are observing today. The only difference is that right now manufacturers are on a war footing to launch BSVI-compliant products, though back then the race was on to launch four-stroke products to replace the smelly, smoky two-strokes that had ruled the roost towards the end of the last millennium.

Yamaha r15S is Coming back

 

Yamaha R15S is Finally Coming Back; Type Approval Hints India Launch Soon!




Yamaha Motor India is currently working on a new motorcycle to be introduced in the country, and it has been revealed by the leaked type approval certificate. As per the document, the brand is preparing to launch another version of the R15 motorcycle in India. It is also visible in the document that the bike will have the same features as the R15 V3, hence we can assume it will be the rebranded version of the R15 V3 with some new colour choices. In addition, the new version will have an ‘S’ tag.

Looking forward to the other details found in the document, this bike will be powered by a BS-VI compliant 155cc engine which will be able to churn out 13.7 kW of power at 10000rpm. Moreover, the body dimensions of the base model are mentioned as 725mm in overall width, 1990mm in overall length, 1135mm in overall height, and a wheelbase of 1325mm, and these can be continued in the upcoming variant too.






It’s worth noting that the previous-generation model R15 V3 has the same max power output as the R15S. This has fueled the assumption that the new version will be the previous-generation model, and will be launched in India at a cheaper price than the current-generation model. Given that the R15 V4 has a high starting price of Rs. 1.71 lakh, it can be a smart move.

After being launched, the forthcoming R15S is going to rival the KTM RC125 and Suzuki Gixxer SF, just like the other R15 range bikes. The recently launched Bajaj Pulsar F250 also emerges as its competitor with enhanced power and an affordable price. At the present times, when bike prices are becoming really aggressive due to rising costs of raw materials and new taxes, it is challenging for the bike makers to sell the bikes at reasonable prices to preserve the selling rates.

The series of sporty commuter motorcycles recently completed two decades in the Indian market and has reached cult status for enthusiastic riders on a budget. However, competition in recent years has stiffened with TVS pulling new tricks with its Apache brand of motorcycles. Some of the smaller Pulsars now appear to be outdated since they haven’t received a major upgrade in many years. Bajaj, however, has regularly provided all its models with small cosmetic and feature updates.
