Massive bikes and Electric Scooters from the Japanese bike maker to debut this year 2023

Japanese Brand Yamaha has kept it on the down low in India lately by offering only small capacity bikes up till now. The FZ-25 is the biggest capacity bike right here, however, that’s likely to change this year as the Japanese bike maker has some fascinating plans for India.

For a principle like this, one would assume that Yamaha would bring its slew of big bikes in India. However that isn’t the case. Yamaha’s flagship in India is YZF-R15, a sporty 150cc machine. So far as displacement is concerned, 250cc is the max and there is a massive void within the company’s EV realm as well.

For 2023, upcoming launches from Yamaha are set to fill some voids, whereas some are likely to still be large open. Yamaha is ready to convey at the least one EV, a few of its big bikes and expand its quarter-liter bike portfolio in India. Let’s take a look.

Yamaha FZ-X25

Everyone loves nostalgia and if there’s a bike that evokes it in them, it’s an instant hit. That is exactly what Royal Enfield brings to the desk and is by far essentially the most dominating player within the Neo-retro bike segment. Some new entrants have tried to grab a piece of this pie as well. We’ve got Honda CB350, Jawa, and Yezdi.

Though Yamaha is bringing the legendary RX moniker again, it will materialise in 2025 or beyond. In the meantime, we’re likely to get a 250cc model of FZ-X. Additionally. The FZ 25 delivers 20.8PS and 20.1Nm from its 249cc single-cylinder, air-cooled motor. This motor comes mated to a 5-speed transmission. The performance is 0.1PS less and 0.1Nm more than the BS4 FZ 25.

Neo’s Electric Scooter

Ever since they were exhibited to dealers in India, launch of Yamaha’s electric scooters was just about expected. Which one, was the main query. There have been two electric scooters showcased, E01 and Neo’s. Of the 2, Neo’s is the one that’s more likely to make it to India as opposed to E01 maxi-styled electric scooter. When launched, prices might go north of Rs. 2 lakh.

Yamaha R7

Though we wish for the launch of R1, we’re still glad that a big bike from Team Blue is becoming a actuality after ages. Yamaha YZF-R7 is the spiritual successor of R6 and has split opinions the world over as R7 misses out on a 4-cylinder symphony.

As an alternative, R7 will get a 689 cc inline twin-cylinder engine that makes 73 bhp of power and 67 Nm of torque. With only 188 kg to lug around, R7 is a potent middle-weight sport bike.  It could be priced at around Rs 10 lakh and could be launched in the first half of 2023.

MT-09 & MT-07

Recently, Yamaha teased R7 and MT-09 officially. Yamaha isn’t only bringing its 700cc portfolio to India, but additionally its 900cc equipped MT-09. Within the teaser, MT-07 was not present and therefore, is much less likely to make it to India. MT-07 is essentially a road naked model of R7.

However, MT-09 is a wholly totally different animal. Powered by an 890cc, inline 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that dishes out near 120 bhp and 93 Nm of torque. It will take the battle to new Ducati Monster and 2023 Triumph Street Triple R.
