In
addition to launching the new BS-VI Fascino 125 FI and unveiling the BS-VI
MT-15, India Yamaha Motor introduced the Yamaha Ray ZR 125 and Yamaha Street
Rally 125 FI today. The company hopes that along with the Fascino 125, these
two scooters will help it do solid business in the 125 cc automatic scooter
segment.
Replacing
the 113 cc Ray ZR, the Yamaha Ray ZR 125 FI and Yamaha Street Rally 125 FI are
powered by the same BS-VI complaint 125 cc mill as the Yamaha Fascino 125. This
engine produces 8.2 PS of power and 9.7 Nm of torque. Features like Stop and
Start system, Smart Motor Generator and side stand engine
cut-off switch are standard.
The
new scooters feature a Y-shaped LED position light on the handlebar and a
large, V-shaped headlamp in the middle of the front apron. While the headlamp's
position is different from that of the old models, the lighting technology is
the same - halogen.
Unlike
the Yamaha Fascino 125 FI, the Yamaha Ray ZR 125 and Yamaha Street Rally 125
get all-digital instrumentation although only in the front disc brake version.
These scooters flaunt a beefier and sportier design outlook which Yamaha calls
as ‘Armoured Energy’. Also, the indicators, both at the front and at the rear,
use independent mounting stalks inspired from motorcycles.
The
Yamaha Street Rally 125 FI's highlights include a front and rear crash guard,
block pattern tyres (a feature first seen in automatic scooters in the Honda
Cliq) and knuckle guards as well.
The
Yamaha Ray ZR 125 FI will be available in Dark Matte Blue, Metallic Black Cyan
Blue, Matte Red Metallic and Reddish Yellow Cocktail colours. The Yamaha Street
Rally 125, though, will be available only in Deep Purplish Blue Metallic and
Sparkle Green shades.
