Yamaha India is adopting the wait and watch game. Yamaha had earlier disclosed its plans of launching two new bikes during the festive season, one of which would beat the Bajaj Pulsar 220 to take the crown of the fastest Indian motorcycle has postponed the launch of the Fazer 250. With alot of bikes expected to be launched in the 250cc segment, Yamaha doesn’t want to the be the first to enter. Looks like they are waiting for the Kawasaki Ninja and the new Hero Honda Karizma. This segment surely will go dhak! dhak!
“We are not thinking of launching a bike in that (225-250 cc) range this festival season,” Yukimine Tsuji, MD and CEO, Yamaha India said. “We will launch a bike that would not only be the fastest in India, but it would be the fastest in the world,” Sanjay Tripathi, division head of product planning and brand management of Yamaha India said.

Looks like yamaha is waiting coz, they are confused about the pricing of the bike.. whatever they have is certainly not better than Ninja.. so they can’t command a premium for it. Also Karizma’s upgrade is sure to be priced below 1 lakh won’t be any good for yamaha’s 250.. This is what making them to wait and see the response for the other bikes in 250 segment..

I think yamaha will launch a 200cc bike before the 250 fazer.
250 fazer will be priced some thing around 2L and 200cc will around 1L

rather i would say yamaha cnt beat 220 segmnt of pulsar coz it cost 80 thousand to buy a new pulsar220 having top speed more than 153 and 21.5bhp
where as karizma zmr and r15 both having cost more than 1.10 lack and top sped upto 130 only wit 17.6bhp…
if fazer 250 is being launched most of think abt
pulsr220=80,000
fazer250=upto 2-3lakh…… with increment of only 30cc in engine and 2 lakh in price….. yamaha should think for a better rival for 220pulsar
until then================ 220 pulsar is “THE FASTEST INDIAN”

@dheeraj you are one of the biggest fool. You cant see the difference in quality. The life of p220 is only 2 yrs and that of any yamaha is more than your life.
