One of the readers of BikeAdvice pointed out that Yamaha is going to launch YZF R125 just like the R15. I am not sure how far this is true, but for now, lets just put this in the speculation category. Any news from the readers about R125 is appreciated. Yamaha R125 is already selling in the European market and I feel that it is not difficult to bring the same to India, especially because Yamaha does not have a strong foot hold in the 125cc segment right now. This is what Yamaha says about this bike it its European website…
The YZF R125 is the most advanced 125 production supersport machine that Yamaha has ever built. This radical, high-revving, fuel-injected 125 is the work of the same engineers who created our legendary YZF-R1 and YZF-R6 supersport bikes. And, as you’d expect, the YZF R125 is packed with advanced MotoGP technology as well as a whole range of R-series type engine and chassis features. Its liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valve, single cylinder, SOHC engine is tuned to deliver free-revving performance right through to maximum power at 9,000rpm – and for instant response and efficient operation this remarkable 6-speed 125 is equipped with a compact fuel injection system.
The race-inspired chassis features a Deltabox frame and aluminium swinging arm for outstanding handling performance, and lightweight 5-spoke wheels help to minimize unsprung weight to give impressive roadholding. A large diameter 292mm front disc with a 230mm diameter rear disc make for effective stopping power, and the aggressive R-series bodywork lets everybody know exactly where this bike’s DNA has come from!

Hi All,
Lets see what yamaha is going to do with the new bro in the same DNA variant. I am waiting to see if there is any update available.
Thanks.
Kamal.
it may be less in cc but 80000 more costly, more sporty,more qualityly built than r15.
i dont think it will be launched in india as no one in india is ready to pay 200000 for 125 cc
Its approx cost is 90000/- . You can check other website.
This bike will never see the light of the day. Already people don’t find it worth buying the R15 due to the high price and low displacement. Yamaha should make a good 200cc bike.
its cost is not rs.200000, it is only around rs.85000-90000.
could ny1 plzzz tell me abt the release of new bikes above 200cc??
Sai, it is expected that Karizma Fi will be launched in 2009. Nothing is for sure now!
at wat time in 2009??
Third quarter may be. But not in the first half as I heard.
hey wat bike do u use? my dad is a dealer of hero honda in andhra pradesh. he had recently attended a meeting but there was no news of any new bikes!!!
guys….wen will be the new karizma launched?? will it b the ist,2nd or 3rd quarter…
Hi guys, karima’s new variant is going to hit the market by 2009 feb which will be seen in the showroom by march or april 2009, but bad news for Fi fans, no FUEL INJECTION in this variant, only a new set of cloths for the existing karizma, but expect some great news, may be a new 300c.c bike by the end of 2009.
hey deepak wat bike do u use?
Sai, I use Karizma. You can see my bike here – http://bikeadvice.in/life-on-two-wheels-a-riders-story/
dude dude hear this HH is not going to lanuch higher cc zma going to be fi….thats all they never going to bring up bigset of wheels here untill if any other company hits the market then HH will that too not too losssee the market ………….HH &bajai stillll making indian riders like a childddddd check the new cbz xtreame look wat they hve doneeee its 100%mad just a change in color in alloy then in tail light ??????? is this a upgrade ….v can do it in local shop r in our home itself with paint brush……..v riders want realllll wheelssssssss..not the same set of 150ccccccc ………….
EVEN the zma the old zma rocks with gold colored exhaust but see the new zmaR wats that R mean just a stickering work….and gold color exhaust is changed to some other color …..
it will be nice if HH bring zma with real stuff like i list below
250cc engine/fuel injection,
disc in rear wheels /double disc in front,
mono shocks,
split seats,
better stunning color’s/flaring,
fat tire’s tubeless tires must,
if these comes true even it cost 1.lakh or 1.50lakh sure many zma lovers will get it no matter wat it is already zma is a big hit ..v request HH to make the dreame come true
I do not understand, why people have need more cubic capacity. The R15 even with less CC beats a 220 and a zma in top speed, on the track as well. Yamaha (infact most Japanese manufacturers) have proved time and again that Cubic capacity is not directly proportional to the performance. I wonder Americans have accepted this, I wonder when we will.
is tat karizma FI true…?wen…?will it be more powerful…?

Yamaha is slowly building up its r.p.m. and will certainly bring in newer models. However for this to happen a certain turnover has to be achieved. These numbers are very crucial for them to justify the launch of newer models and more investment. When the numbers are achieved, slowly and steadily, the rest of the plan will begin to unfold. So guys, if you want newer models, pray that more people buy their products: YES ! YAMAHA
