you are absolutely rigth in saying that people claim ( though ill informed and wrong claim ) that this is of yamaha..... i at first thought the case of people claiming it to yamaha is either nill or extremely low.. but just a last week i decided to put htis claim to test and went to waris khan [ a place for bikes in pindi] with just the intention to judge peoples view about this.. i would staay there for at least 2-3 hourst infront of various shops. [mostly infrnt of shops sellying dyl] and i found that almost 70 people that i asked claimed it to be of yamaha even before entering and leaving the shops..........hellllll with dyl are they cheating people by intentionaly mis informing the people by not addressing the issue properly .. and ya almost 15 people who thought that it is yamaha after coming frm dyl 's shop got the answer that it isnt yamaha. very few people may be 20 also knew in advance that this bike isnt yamaha...
so what u guys thing about this issue....
as far as engine is concerend i am not an expert at this issue but driving it at 100 % economy zone [ b/w 30 to 40 km/h] i got the best mileage of 47. .... apart from that i have not tested it yet but shouldnt be less then 40.. in my rough estimation...
and ya u would have to say that its body etc is defintitely built well .. very solid and beautiful body.. but in these days keeping in view the sky rocketing prices of petrol economy is the no 1 factor .. and sadly it is giving nothing in this department..
also one of my freind recently bought honda cd 70 and he says that acording to his estimeates his bike is giving him the economy of 52 km/ltrs. and also most of the time he is driving well past 60 km/hr and quite frequently at ~80 km/hr... i can testify this claim..
moreover the manual of dyl says that its carburator is genuine keihin .. so that should mean imported directly .. ? aint ?
and is there some way to know what is the name of the company that manafactures the engine of this particualr bike aka dyl yd 70... there are more then 100 companies in chaina...
