As per Autobloggreen.com Yamaha has filed patents for a new series of motorcycle-size turbodiesel engines in both inline-four and twin-cylinder configurations. Previously, established brands have not even so much as expressed an interest in diesel engines.
Yamaha would have to contend with packaging issues in placing a diesel engine in a motorcycle chassis as well as the physical size of an engine that’s made to withstand the high pressures and torque inherent in a compression ignition engine. Yamaha’s patents seek to set an arrangement of components particularly the intercooler, which is placed atop the engine under a “dummy tank” with the actual fuel tank moved below the bike’s saddle. So, are we ready to cruise on open American roads in the coming few years astride a turbo-diesel Yamaha big bore bike? Feel free to share!
Was just surfing through my list of favourite motorcyling website, when i read this interesting news on Faster and Faster
According to the above mentioned website, Yamaha France (see) is offering four (yes, just FOUR) MotoGP replicas of the YZF-R1. These will be sold in Rossi and Lorenzo colors and the sticker price is, well, USD 26,600!! The price is quite steep but you do get a Rossi / Lorenzo replica helmet free as well. Worth it? Well, I would say rather go in for a Busa and a GSX-R750!
Yamaha has just confirmed that the popular Fazer 250, that is being in many countries abroad will also be launched in the UK market as the YBR 250. Yamaha already sells the smaller YBR 125 and the this bigger 250 will prove to be a success as well.
The YBR 250 will make around 21bhp with 20.5Nm of torque : enough for city commutes and the occasional highway run. The bike has an estimated top speed of around 85mph / 136km/h.
Engine: 125cc
Power: 15bhp (restricted
Power: 30bhp (de-restricted)
Top speed: around 75mph for 15bhp
Top speed: around 95mph for 33bhp
Cost: £3799 (UK)
So, we thought 125cc bikes were boring? Get hold of the Aprilia 125 and de-restrict it, freeing all the 33 horses, and 125cc biking will never be the same again.
The Aprilia RS125 has remained the best fun 125cc bike for ages now. It was first launched way back in '95 and still remains an average teenagers' dream bike. Looks like a biggie, handles like a track bike and the engine can be de-restricted to 30bhp which means it can tease cars on the road as well! It’s a tad expensive to buy and run thanks to pricey two-stroke motorcycle oil, but, if you can afford it, the Aprilia RS125 is worth every penny.
