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.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
