yea the qaulity will matter largly ... YBR is the most talked about in Bikes market these days as well..

but for GD what I have observed abuot its top speed is that it is the leader in top speed in its own class which is 110~100cc but I have never seen it taking on a 125 class bike.

My personal experience with GD is I have tagged along friends like @mqsdrana and @rocketscience who have been on there GDs along side with us they happen to lag top end speed.

Other then that GD has the quality, the buildn the finish way above what others manufacturer offers locally.

@vickytulla I agree k Lifan is OEM for many Motorcycle brands. My point was the care and quality they will put into these bike will matter. Although it will not be Japanese but they will put their experience. Still this will be better that most of the bikes in the market. Signal to signal drag as CG does.... this machine is very grunty in the low RPM range and smooth in the higher side. GD110 has been seen many time beating a STOCK CG on signal to signal drags :P. Secondly now we have one more issue that for races we will use CGs for next 50 years cause of the knowledge we possess for that bike and the alterations and availability of trillions of used, scraped and "ok" bikes , so in case we some how mess one we can surely get the second one easily.

It is not gold plated I guess :S

More than gold..

I agree with the points tamour bhai is mentioning... but kuch batain mind men hain :

1- Will it be a road dominator in Signal to signal Drags ? (CG Dominates Big time in this category and this is the main reason GS/RP never owned a Respect among racers).

To win in this this category, they need to introduce a powerful 150cc.

2 - Price Tag : Deluxe is already a product of a niche market (so does the GS/RP are) if YBR launch is only focused on such a small part then why they are setting up such a big manufacturing unit I think they have much biger Plans this time and have come here to take Atlas with both hands once and for all, and to tackle that they really will have to fight on different horizons including Price tag and resale value as well.

To win in this category, they need to introduce most economical 125cc with lowest price tag.

3 - YBR OEM manufacturing is done by Lifan (Just like Yamaha Virago400 which is also found as Lifan 400EC Vtwin) and few other Chinese companies so stop Dreaming that its a Japani Bike its a china bike which is brought to Philpines/Thia e.t.c and later sent forward to various countries

Doesn't matter where the parts are produced if the quality is up to the mark.

my 2 cents.

My 1 cent

if we compare ybr to cg in terms of acceleration cg 125 is always winner but in top speed and smooth ride yamaha is winner

yamaha ybr 125 0-100 in 19.8 sec
Yamaha YBR 125 - 0-100 km/h - PlayIt.pk

[amjad635]

how much time cg takes to touch 100km/h do you know or have video of that
how can you declare cg winner? and kindly tell timing of stock cg not nude cg

cg has very good acceleration but its not super bike don't expect it to touch 0-100kmph in below 10sec
it will take same time as ybr or if it beats ybr due to its less weight even than difference would be
of sec or max two sec

[lambiloon]

we insist yamaha to introduce fz series here in Pakistan not ybr please

[mfaizandawood]

if we compare ybr to cg in terms of acceleration cg 125 is always winner but in top speed and smooth ride yamaha is winner

yamaha ybr 125 0-100 in 19.8 sec

yes u r right just some figures to prove this point
HP
CG = 11.15 hp @ 8500 rpm + YBR125 = 10.2 hp @ 7800 rpm + RP125 = 11.3 hp @ 8500 rpm { Piaggio have the highest power, YBR have least HP at lowest RPM }
Torque
CG = 9.8 Nm @ 7000 rpm + YBR125 = 9.6 Nm @ 6000 rpm + RP125 = 9.8 Nm @ 8000 rpm { That's y CG is good for signal to signal drag race but as RP125 due to weight can't outrun CG but as it gets its peak at high rpm so better for long distance drag race and YBR have least and also at very low rpm so it would be good for 0 km/h to 20 km/h drag race }
Weight
CG = 99 KG + YBR125 = ~125kg + RP125 = 126kg { CG does lead this category but only because it is feature less vibrator }. (if someone knows the exact dry weight of RP125 and YBR 125 do let me know i wasn't able to find dry weight of these bikes.)
So overall CG has the best acceleration and there is no way RP125 or YBR 125 can beat it. RP125 has the highest top speed figure even with a lot of features and quite comfortable ride. YBR is good at nothing except a bit more comfortable ride than piaggio and i seriously don't think YBR can beat CG or RP even in top speed.
i just remember one more thing that is good about YBR, IT IS YAMAHA

Ummm I think this time they are coming back with a different strategy....no joint venture...it will be fully owned by Yamaha...and if I an not wrong they are setting up the plant in the tax free zone....so they wont be focusing that much on the local market...their target market would be Afghanistan and the Central Asia...that is the reason that no more 70cc bikes...125-150cc bikes are very much preferred in that market.

There are many persons in pakistan just like me who dont need top speed they need good featured bike with good look

i'm also one of those i bought RP even though it has pathetic after sales services but still it has the biggest features list and it is comfortable too and the most good looking till now may be YBR will look better than RP in real. i'm not talking about us people i'm talking about the majority of Pakistanis for them this bike is flop, this bike will be treated just like RP and GS or may be even less or may be not that will depend on the price tag.

And you represent .001% of our bike population

And you represent .001% of our bike population

i'm representing here those people who are obsessed with speed, who ignore plastic bike, who ignore bike just becoz that bike does't have after sales services, who ignore a bike for being china made (which YBR is), who ignore bike for having modern techs, who ignore bike for having bigger displacement engine and so on and on there are many many reasons y YBR will be a flop for them and they own the biggest market. I just read on another forum that Honda is producing 50K+ bikes every month and that's like producing around 1500+ units everyday, where are these bikes going people of Pakistan are buying them they are buying 35+ years old bikes at huge price tag and if we think that Yamaha will jump in with a bike which is totally different from what they like and they will rush for it, no that's not going to happen soon. Right now Yamaha, Suzuki and Piaggio are playing a hard game against Honda, sooner or later they will overcome but this will take years to happen.
