if this info is true which i hope it to be, i can wait for 6months more , but i dont want to end up buying this 125 cc and then to see a launch of a 150cc bike. btw can you share its top speed? coz as per specs its max output is only 11PS equal to CG125.though there stands no comparision btw the two. one is 1980s crap.but just for the sake of argument

Can u believe, I m waiting for any good 150cc from last two years because I don't want to buy old fashioned gs 150 and can't afford honda CBR. .....

ravi can be crap but piaggio is not, that bike came in 2006 when people where not even aware of euro 2, it came with 5 gears when no 125cc bike was using 5 gears, it was the best bike of that time with the most modern look and it is the only bike which has evolved overtime and still if u put the ohc engine aside as a bike RP125 is still far better than YBR in speed and looks but Dumb a** ravi management ruined everything. When ravi came up with this bike YAMAHA was also selling feature less bikes like HONDA. And there is no way Rp125 is a copy of YBR. If Yamaha would have launched this bike in same price tag with all these features you people would be dying to buy this bike. Screw You Ravi Idiots. And also keep one thing in mind YBR is also china made.

I am not owner of Ravi Nor CG or GS but I have very close experience with Piaggio, Its Tuff bike, did 2 trips with bad condition road, abusive use but Ravi perform very well, a complete Bike. so Now Market comparison will be among Piaggio, Delux and YBR, YBR has strong brand name with international Existence and very good review from 2001. we should not compare with CG-125, CG is vibration King, @80kmph u feel hell of vibration, old OHV engine. No brakes, etc

No turbo or supercharger? 0/10

Doesn't have supersonic speed either. -10/10

[MySchizoBuddy]

YBR-125 is not even launched here and you have already made an opinion that RP-125 is better looking and faster than YBR. WOW!!!!

He owns a crystal ball. He can see the future

[SyedMoazzam]

I really hope that they bring this model to Pakistan. MT-125

And i hope that you have a healthy bank balance till then

[SyedMoazzam]

@dongiovanni pa g eady kaam jaib v boti bhari honi chaidi hai ........ aajay to pakistani awam ybr nu menga kandi pahi hai ..... ty tusi MT-125 di gall kardy ho ........

have u compared the technical specs of these bikes i'm sure not, let me help u
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 and do keep in mind that YBR have alloy rim so they also will slow down the bike }.
The only company and bike i hate is Atlas and there antique lineup of bikes my well wishes are for all other brands like YAMAHA, Piaggio and Suzuki, i have most respect for Suzuki as currently they have the best lineup of bikes but we should respect the bold step of Ravi for bringing Piaggio in Pakistan and creating some competition of features at best value for money.

Vicky bhai is the best example he have abused his bike to its max and still the bike is doing great, he have done tons of experiment and the bike is still going healthy and a bike with so many features at this price needs to be appreciated but some people just need a good brand name on a bike otherwise its a crap no matter how good the bike is.

if we take your words seriously then in simple words YAMAHA is actually planing to get their company in a big ditch in a lonely third world?

[aa78]

YBR have alloy rim so they also will slow down the bike

Please explain and shed more light on this. Alloy rims are more rigid. Is it the weight alone of alloy rims at play in the quoted opinion?

[Kashifrizwan]

Yea Right.. Ybr should be rimless and tireless so you can fly on her..

Where did i said that Yamaha is going to flop all i said was to show some respect for Ravi Piaggio and Suzuki as some people are behaving like Yamaha is coming with a space ship and once it will land all other bikes will look crap. Suzuki and Ravi Piaggio has given all these features a decade ago that Yamaha is going to launch now.

ok true,only asked coz you came with lot of calculations and stuff but being a yamha rider i am feeling good coz it is a change for us riders as you said ravi did earlier but seriously i am also not very much convinced by their lines up, and you know the reason behind this is nt yamaha rather then us, and our purchasing power......we all know yamaha are the the biggest exporter of different kind of bikes in the world, cant they produce here?......yes they can bring each and everything here but for what? for nothing because we the common buyer cant get reach their limits to yamaha world standard line up, thats why we have to just live up with what we are going to have, is it crap or not but in front of world standard our local bikes are just all crap.........our demands would be sky high and price should be around atlas bikes......thats funny, its not yamaha fault at all rather then partner company behaved strange for their customers,same as atlas is doing with honda and local buyers.
i hope yamaha will must try to change the market gradually....because they have few other plans for their products in the future.

do u know that heavy objects are difficult to rotate as compared to light objects, only if those alloys are lighter than spokes wheel than YBR have advantage in acceleration.
and i there is no way these alloy wheel can be lighter than spokes.
