Yamaha Cygnus-X 125 Spotted On Test In Japan

Latest spy shots out of Japan show a new premium 125 cc scooter from Yamaha, the Yamaha Cygnus-X 125, which will likely come with new features, including Bluetooth connectivity. The next generation Cygnus-X 125 has been snapped while undergoing some on-road testing in Japan. The scooter will also sport updated styling, but even though the test mule is disguised with part camouflage wrap, the top part of the front apron, seems to show more than just an updated design, and will likely come with some unique features, possibly making it the most advanced 125 cc scooter.

According to latest reports, the chequered camouflage hides what unconfirmed rumours have been pointing to, that the next generation Cygnus-X 125 will come with a dashcam, and on the test mule, it's recording what is going on in front of the scooter. If those rumours are true, there is also the possibility of another camera at the rear. While it's not known what the data recorded by the cameras will be used for, what is certain is that the next generation Yamaha Cygnus-X 125 will come with Bluetooth connectivity, technology that Yamaha already has on its flagship sportbikes, the R1 and R1M.

In India, Yamaha has made it clear that it will exit the mass-market commuter segment completely, and will focus on the premium commuter segment, as far as entry-level motorcycles and scooters are concerned. Once the new Cygnus-X 125 is ready for production, it's still doubtful whether India Yamaha will consider launching it in India. An India launch will mean locally manufacturing the scooter to keep prices competitive. It's still early days to speculate on whether the Cygnus-X 125 will make it to India, but if it does, it could well get its own set of fans!

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.
