Yamaha has announced the launching of a “new model” of the YBR125G, however, temper your expectations, as the latest model is nothing more than just a new paint job and some minor upgrades.
This has been the company’s strategy for quite some time now: Announce a new model featuring nothing more than a new sticker, a few minor upgrades, and a price hike.
Despite widespread criticism from bike enthusiasts, Yamaha doesn’t seem to change its approach shortly.
It recently launched a Rs. 17,000 more expensive “new model” of the Yamaha YBR 125, which lived up to the consumers’ expectations of being merely a new color variant.
Now, it has introduced the ’latest edition’ of YBR125G, and there are no real surprises, it’s just another iteration with a fresh coat of paint and some marginal upgrades.
The following are the upgrades:
Fuel Gauge
Gear Indication
Trip Meter
Cast Wheels with Front Disc Brakes
Block pattern tire
Level Adjustable Rear Suspension
Halogen Headlight with Ring Guard
Speed Transmission with Engine Balancer and Under Guards
Sporty and Stylish Seat
Special Double Front Fender
Long Shock Absorbers with Rubber Boots
As expected, Yamaha has also increased the price of YBR125G by Rs. 18,000. Following the price increase, YBR125G (Red/Black) now costs Rs. 471,000 compared to the previous price of Rs. 453,000.
Similarly, the Yamaha YBR125G (Matt Dark Gray/Matt Orange) now costs Rs. 474,000 compared to its previous Rs. 456,000.
