Sure it looks ok. But at Rs.90K, do you really think it's going to affect the Pulsar brigade? Unless the specs have been reworked since the first post.

Bunny, any word on that?

For that kind of money a 14 bhp bike is ridiculous, no matter how hot it looks. It wont seem very hot when you get smoked by a 3 year old Pulsar.

With that kind of pricce tag for just a 150 cc bike, surely Yamaha is not going the right way. I wonder why would people buy a 150 cc bike for 90k when we get a pulsar 200 and 220 with much more power than the yamaha and with all the features and stunning looks. Atleast i wouldn't buy it for sure.

14 bhp is right in the ballpark for 150 cc bikes. In fact the Apache makes only 13.5.

But with liquid coooling, EFI and 4 valves you expect a little more. I hope this is a platform that Yamaha can take up to 250 cc with a rebore.
