Much anticipated Yamaha R25 coming to India in 2015 quarter

Much anticipated Yamaha R25 coming to India in 2015 quarter

As the 250cc category is getting really powerful, here comes the next member to the family the Yamaha R25.Yamaha Motor reported that they are planning to launch R25 in India by 2015 quarter and may be it will be exported from Yamaha plant in Indonesia, but its not officially confirmed yet.

Yamaha R25, �was launched in Indonesia on 20 May 2014, with a price tag of 53 Million Indonesian Rupiah (roughly ₹2.70 lakhs), we have got a report that many Indian motorcycle enthusiasts have tried to import the R25 form Indonesia before its launch in India and that shows how much Indians need R25.

Coming to technical specifications the R25�comes loaded with a 250 cc liquid-cooled, in-line, four-stroke, two-cylinder engine with a powerful 36 bhp output, @�12,000 rpm and a peak torque of 22.1 Nm @�10,000 rpm. Built on Tubular Diamond chassis, latest in the R-series line up comes with Telescopic suspension at the front and monocross suspension at the rear. It measures 2,090 mm in length, 720 mm in width, 1,135 mm in height and has a seat height of 780 mm.

Having a�wheelbase of 1,380 mm, the bike weighs 166 kgs and has a fuel tank capacity of 14.3 liters. It comes with the features like fuel consumption indicator, oil change indicator, trip and odo-meter and engine temperature warning. It will be available in three colors - Racing Blue, Predator Black and Diablo Red.�

But we also have a rumor that the R25 to be launched in India will be a single cylinder 250 cc motor, rather than the two cylinder Indonesian, which would make the bike affordable for the Indian two-wheeler�connoisseur.�

Yamaha R25 Rivals are Hyosung GT250R ,Kawasaki Ninja 250 Mono and Honda CBR250R.�

Again another news is that the R25 will not be�launched�in India�because of the fact that the Yamaha R25 is slightly under powered to the Kawasaki�Ninja 300 and CBR 300R from Honda. which is to be launched soon in India, and launching a 250cc motorcycle this late would be a bad decision.�

So here comes the picture of another big boy the R3, yes the 320cc Yamaha motorcycle,�rumored to have a 320cc three cylinder cross plane crankshaft heart, still no official confirmation.

But even the Indian motorcycle maker Bajaj have already� unveiled�Pulsar�400 SS & CS in Delhi motor-expo is also a much awaited motorcycle.

The expected price of Yamaha R25 is around�₹2.25lakhs (Ex-Showroom).

Review: New Mahindra Scorpio SUV at Rs 7.98 lakh launched

Review: New Mahindra Scorpio SUV at Rs 7.98 lakh launched

On the off chance that we had one real issue with the current (now, more seasoned) version of the Mahindra Scorpio, it was the way it took care of bumps at speed. It made us feel like we were taking a ride on a trampoline when we hit a bump on the highway. One may contend that the car should be to a greater extent a bad-road specia list, and not a speed demon. Thus, do things change with the all-new Scorpio?

The Scorpio you see here is the new, third generation of Mahindra's popular SUV. It's based on an all-new platform that is made up of stronger composite materials, which, as we're told, makes the Scorpio a safer spot to be in, on account of the recently consolidated fold zones. This new undercarriage will additionally structure the premise for Mahindra's approaching vehicles. Mahindra lets us know that the new platform can without much of a stretch be adjusted to make a sub-four meter car (Quanto substitution, anybody?), without trading off on structural honesty. Everything in and about the Scorpio is all-new.

There's huge amounts of "Scorpio" badging everywhere throughout the SUV. Outside, the Scorpio seems to have obtained a few signs from its greater cousin, the Xuv500 – like the grille that appears as though its been scratched by an enormous feline, an exceptionally XU V-like front bumper, the greater, bolder wheel arches and the great tail-lamps. The face wears an exceptionally European look, while the sides appear to be identical. The rear, as well, flashes off another, two-tone appliqué, which has an exceptionally secondary selling look to it.

The new Scorpio is offered with 2wd and 4wd – with an on-the-fly-shift low-ratio case on the latter – and in six separate variations� - S2, S4, S6, S6+, S8 and S10. The highest point of-the-line S10 variation we're driving here comes loaded with all the goodies from Mahindra's pack of treats – like LED eyebrows on the double projector lamps, a hood scoop and some chrome bits sprinkled in advance, start stop tech, ABS, tire pressure sensors, and so on. Inside the S10, you get stuff like double front airbags, a straightforward touch-controlled six-inch infotainment framework with navigation, climate control with rear AC vents, double tone seats and silver and chrome inserts.

The new Scorpio is ergonomically very sound with all the operational gear well in scope. The new, blue-lit, part-computerized part-simple presentation looks exceptionally decent and gives speed, odo, fuel level, engine temperature, trek (trip) and gear indication readouts.

Anyway there are a few blemishes in the new Scorpio. When the driver's side entryway is shut, its almost difficult to slide your hand down and work the seat-height adjuster. Additionally, the quality of the small door locks is flawed, on the grounds that they have a feeling that they'll break on the off chance that you don't utilize them delicately.

The New Scorpio obtains the five-speed gearbox from the as of late overhauled Xylo, with minor progressions to the last drive ratio. The guiding (steering) wheel has been lifted from the Xuv500, alongside some interior bits like the chrome-lined AC vents. Generally speaking, fit and complete inside the new SUV is most likely a venture up from the versions that preceded it, making the cabin a pleasant spot to be in. It's as breezy as it used to be, yet this present one's livelier, because of the lighter shade of plastic present inside. We didn't get an opportunity to drive the 4wd version, so we decided to adhere to the road in this 2wd variation. The double wishbone suspension setup is completely new, with Independent coil springs at the front, and a multi-link coil spring utilized at the back. Ride quality stays pretty much the sam e at low speed, with the suspension splashing up bumps well. At high speeds, the SUV now feels somewhat more steady than some time before, with less pitching under heavy braking. The huge distinction with the new Scorpio is the incorporation of an anti-roll bar with bump steps at the rear, which makes cornering hard somewhat more agreeable. The new alloy wheels are an inch bigger than the previous car's 16-inchers, which helps over rough patches. It's not the first occasion when we've seen the 2,179cc turbo-diesel do duty in a Mahindra vehicle, and the 120bhp, 280nm four-pot benefits an occupation of moving the new Scorpio. The base S2 variation gets 15-inch wheels and the 2.5l m2dicr regular rail diesel engine under the hood, which is useful for 75bhp and 200nm.

The height and wheelbase of the new Scorpio are precisely the same as that of the outgoing model, however this new one's barely more and more extensive. Indeed with the new chassis, the gross weight of t he 2wd and 4wd Scorpios stays unaltered at 2,510 and 2,610kg individually. On the other hand, Mahindra says that the fuel proficiency of the new SUV has gone up by about one kilometer for every liter, from the long ago guaranteed 14.7kpl.

For those of us who had gotten used to the design of the Scorpio, the new car resembles to the current car however with some more blaze to it. It's experienced a modernisation change and feels more certain on account of the new body. The steering feels more pleasant and the ride has made strides. In spite of the fact that it doesn't feel like a generation change, it is a step up from the current scorpio.
