Yamaha Indonesia has announced the pricing of the
2017 Yamaha V-Ixion R. Priced at IDR 29,500,000 the Yamaha V-Ixion R is IDR 3.6
million dearer than the standard V-Ixion.
The 2017 Yamaha V-Ixion R is powered by the new
155.1 cc VVA mill borrowed from the Yamaha R15 v3.0. The liquid cooled engine
is capable of producing 19.31 PS of power and 14.7 Nm of torque. Coupled to the
fuel injected powerplant is a 6-speed gearbox instead of a 5-speed unit seen in
the standard V-Ixion.
The Yamaha V-Ixion R tips the scales at 131 kg and
has an 11-litre fuel tank. The digital instrumentation also gains a gear shift
light while the exhaust canister is shorter. Other changes include a wider
130/70 rear tyre and an under-seat USB charger. Also available is a slipper
clutch which is standard across the range.
Yamaha Indonesia has not fitted the 2017 Yamaha
V-Ixion R with ABS but gives it a disc brake at both ends. The bike has a ground
clearance of 165 mm and a seat height of 795 mm.
The Yamaha V-Ixion R will be available in three
colours, Matte Red-Black, Blue-Silver and Green-White.
