YZF-R6 had inspired
Since 2004, Honda has had the learner sports bike market sewn up – the CBR125R flew out of showrooms faster than its larger capacity counterparts. Yamaha’s range had a gap for a 125 sport motorcycle, and the YZF-R125 fills that gap by combining the Honda’s easy-going ride with a little bit more poke and grown up looks – it’s actually slightly bigger than the YZF-R6 that inspired its styling. The Yamaha YZF-R125’s all-new engine has a longer stroke than other 125 motorcycles to give more torque, but it’s still no arm-ripper. Instead, the YZF-R125 gives flexibility two-stroke rivals like the Aprilia RS125 can only dream of. The Yamaha will crawl along at walking pace with the clutch fully engaged, and opening the throttle will give smooth drive right to the redline. It’s good for an indicated 80mph, which will satisfy most riders stepping up from a moped. The Yamaha YZF-R125’s digital dash, Brembo brakes, under-slung GP-style exhaust and a proper sized R6-inspired body is the stuff of wet dreams when you’re 17. The full-size body makes it reasonably comfortable too – the footpegs aren’t too high, the handlebars are mounted on the fork tops so your wrists don’t take a pounding and the seat isn’t massively hard either. The seat is reasonably high though – shorties may be more comfortable on the Honda.
Yamaha V-Max
The 2009 Yamaha V-Max is powered with 1679cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke DOHC 65 degree V4 engine provides a maximum power out of 194 Bhp at 9000 rpm with peak torque of 170 Nm at 6500 rpm.The all new redesigned VMAX engine uses advanced technologies with features such as as YCC-I and YCC-T helps in gaining such massive powers.This new engine is the first Yamaha V4 engine that uses a new fuel injection system. The 2009 Yamaha VMAX has an advanced aluminum frame that helps bikers achieve high-level handling performance. The main black frame forms an arc at the top of the mighty V4 engine and slopes down to the pivot, forming a semi-loop. This design it a bold, athletic and hi-tech image. The V-MAX also features a new diamond frame. The bike further features gravity-cast components for the main frame and the pivot, while the rear frame is made of CF die-cast parts and extruded parts. Joining the V-Max under the Star label are updates to the V Star line of cruisers, including the Silverado, Classic and Custom, as well as their 1100 iterations.
YAMAHA CRUX S
A superb motorcycle that is desperately in need of a makeover. The Crux parent gene has been around for five years now and the Crux S variant brings back fond memories of my first ever road test of the parent bike. Conventional seat handlebar and foot peg relation still keeps her at the top of the game making her one of the most comfortable bikes to ride around town. What the Crux S lacks in the cosmetics section she more than makes up for with strong mechanical refined and powerful engine and a smooth drive train. However despite having the largest capacity engine (105.6cc) in the segment her power and torque ratings certainly don’t reflect the same magnitude. The under square bare stroke layout makes an appreciable 7.71PS of max power and 7.8Nm of max torque. This puts her right down the middle of the segment with the third best ratings. Though power delivery is seamless and available at the slightest twist of the wrist she does assume a gruff note with harsh vibes at the top of her rev bond. She is however possessed of great lugging ability and is easily capable of carrying two persons without breaking into a sweat. She is also the only bike in this segment to sport the one down, three up shift pattern signature Yamaha.
