Yamaha is likely to bring as many as 5 new bikes to the next motor show. These include 4 motorcycles and one automatic scooter. It may be noted here that Yamaha is slowly but surely establishing a strong foothold in the Indian market. All these upcoming Yamaha bikes at Auto Expo 2018 should further help it grow its market share.
Yamaha Bikes at Auto Expo 2018
Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0
| Estimated Price | Rs. 1.2 – 1.4 lakh |
| Specifications | Fuel-injected, single-cylinder, 149cc |
| Launch Date | February 2018 |
The much awaited Yamaha R15 V3.0 is likely to debut at the next Delhi auto exp. The V3.0 should bring in the most comprehensive set of updates ever for the much loved small-displacement sportsbike. Likely to come with an all new engine and a set of new features, the R15 will also get better looks to woo the bike buyers. Easily one of the most important upcoming new Yamaha bikes at Auto Expo 2018, this one.
Yamaha Fazer 250
| Estimated Price | Rs. 1.3 lakh |
| Specifications | Fuel-injected, single-cylinder, 249cc |
| Launch Date | February 2018 |
The Fazer 250 is a derivative of the FZ-25. As such, it is almost the same as the latter bike save for the full fairing it wears. We’re hoping that the Fazer 250 will finally become the adequately powerful quarter-litre sportstourer we’ve always wanted Yamaha India to come up with. We’re hoping this bike will do as good on the sales charts as the FZ25 is doing.
2018 Yamaha YZF-R3
| Estimated Price | Rs. 3.4 lakh |
| Specifications | Fuel-injected, parallel-twin, 321cc |
| Launch Date | February 2018 |
Yes, India will see the re-launch of Yamaha YZF R3. The updated bike will come with a BSIV-compliant engine. We’re also hoping for a slight bump in power. More importantly, Yamaha should launch an ABS variant this time around. The R3 is a really likable product and we really can’t wait for Yamaha to launch it again.
Yamaha MT-03
| Estimated Price | Rs. 3.2 lakh |
| Specifications | Fuel-injected, parallel-twin, 321cc |
| Launch Date | July 2018 |
The MT-03 is the naked version of the YZF-R3. It gets the same engine (of course, in a different state of tune) along with most of the same mechanicals. Thanks to the streetnaked look, it looks beefier and arguably more stylish than its faired sibling. This should be one of the most important of upcoming new Yamaha bikes at Auto Expo 2018.
New 100cc Bike
| Estimated Price | Rs. 40,000 |
| Specifications | Carbureted, single cylinder, 100cc |
| Launch Date | April 2018 |
The new 100cc bike will likely be a replacement for the Saluto RX motorcycle in Yamaha’s India lineup. This bike will likely come to India in the early part of 2018, following a showing at Auto Expo 2018. Powering this bike will likely be a carbureted, single cylinder, 100cc engine. Expect the power and torque outputs of the bike to be similar to that of the Saluto RX’s.
Yamaha Scooters at Auto Expo 2018
Right now, it seems like Yamaha will bring just one new scooter to the Expo. We’re talking about the Nozza Grand automatic scooter here. Here are the details-
Yamaha Nozza Grande
| Estimated Price | Rs. 55,000 |
| Specifications | Fuel-injected, single-cylinder, 125 cc |
| Launch Date | May 2018 |
The Yamaha Nozza Grande will be probably the only automatic scooter from Yamaha at the Auto Expo 2018. The Nozza Grande will rival the likes of Honda Activa 125. Yes, even this scooter is powered by an engine displacing 125-odd cc. Prices are expected to start around Rs 55,000. The Nozza Grande gets telescopic front suspension and an almost quirky design.
New 100cc Scooter
| Estimated Price | Rs. 50,000 |
| Specifications | Carbureted, single cylinder, 113cc |
| Launch Date | February 2018 |
The new 100cc scooter will likely be a replacement for the Cygnus Alpha in the company’s product lineup. Yamaha is likely to replace the Cygnus Alpha with this scooter owing to the slow sales of the Cygnus Alpha. This scooter will likely show up at Auto Expo 2018, followed by a launch some time later. Powering this scooter will be a carbureted, single cylinder 113cc engine.
Yamaha FZ-10
| Estimated Price | Rs. 14,00,000 |
| Specifications | 998cc, Four-cylinder, fuel-injected, DOHC |
| Launch Date | February 2018 |
Yamaha will finally launch the FZ 10, the streetnaked sibling of the YZF-R1 supersports motorcycle, at the Auto Expo 2018. The FZ 10 will come to us via CBU route and will cost north of Rs 14 lakh. It is powered by a 998cc four-cylinder, crossplane crankshaft engine that comes from the R1. The motorcycle has a top speed of 250 kmph and can go from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.4 seconds.
