Yamaha News

Yamaha Motor India recently introduced the 2022 Monster Energy MotoGP edition for four of its models: the R15M, MT-15 Version 2.0, Aerox 155 and the RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid. They not only look sporty, but come at a minimal premium over the base models. What boosts the exclusivity factor is the fact they’ll be available in limited numbers at Yamaha Blue Square outlets. 

Yamaha also increased the prices of most of its two-wheelers, with the R15 V4 range, MT-15 Version 2.0, FZ 25 and FZ-X receiving the highest hikes.

Rumours regarding a new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R sportbike have been around for quite a while now. But now, a leaked document has confirmed that the inline-4 screamer will be launched soon. 

New Bike From Honda Incoming

After sending us a ‘Block Your Date’ and trademarking a new name last month, Honda is all set to launch a motorcycle on August 8. Check out what we think it might be here.

Honda also launched the ‘Sports’ edition of the Dio in India. The new colour schemes make the already sporty-looking Dio look even more so, at a small premium.
