2019 Yamaha FZ-S ABS Spied Undisguised; Ready For Launch

Yamaha will be launching a new motorcycle on 21st January, 2019. Now whether it is the MT-15 or the 2019 FZ-S V3, it is yet to be seen but here is the latest round of spyshots of the new-generation FZ-S and completely undisguised at that. With these new photos, it could be seen that the new motorcycle gets a new fuel tank, new panels and a new headlamp, most probably an LED unit similar to that on the FZ25. The other distinguishing bit that we could figure was the air-vent like structure towards the front of the fuel tank which is most likely beautification of sorts and might not serve any practical purpose.

(Expect the new-gen FZ-S to get ABS as standard fitment)

The seat on the new FZ will be a single-piece unit as opposed to the step-seat unit on the FZ V2.0. We would also like the new FZ to get a bump in power and torque output as the current model is the least powerful in its segment. The engine covers seem to be the same from the test mules which were spotted earlier. The alloy wheels too have a different design and look much better on the FZ-S V3.0 than on the current model. The rear section of the motorcycle along with the grab-rails and the exhaust will be new as well.

We expect Yamaha to offer ABS right from the launch, at least a single-channel ABS on the new-generation FZ-S. The current-gen Yamaha FZ FI V2.0 sells for Rs. 82,040 while the FZ-S FI sells for Rs. 88,042 (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi). Expect the new-generation FZ to cost about Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 15,000 considering Yamaha offers ABS as standard fitment.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Honda 850 cc Parallel-Twin Engine Revealed In Patent Filings

Image
Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine. And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter. None of these models are offered on sale in India, but with new emission regulations looming around the corner in Europe, Honda is possibly looking to explore an increase in displacement to meet those norms.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

Image
Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
