Official Photo : 2010 Yamaha FZ8 naked sportsbike

 

After photos of the new Yamaha FZ8 leaked out on the internet, Yamaha thought it was wise to release an official photo of the FZ8 in it’s full colorful form. As is visible from the picture, the Yamaha FZ8 is based heavily off of the FZ1, which may suggest where its performance features. (Internet rumors suggest the 800cc mill will be a downsized version of the former R1 engine with an identical stroke and smaller bore) The official unveiling is scheduled for March 12. A little more wait till the specs get confirmed.

Bajaj launches the New Pulsar 220 DTSi “S”

Bajaj has launched the naked street fighter avatar of its premium model Pulsar 220 DTSi - the Pulsar 220 S.

The only Major difference between the Standard Pulsar 220 DTSi 'F' and the S version is that it gets rid of the Quarter Fairing. It has the Standard Bikini Fairing (with tank scoops) which is present in all the versions of the Pulsar.

The Rear End of the bike remains same. The Pulsar 220 S even has the same exhaust chamber as the older Pulsar 220 DTSi.

Personally, we @GediJunction like the older version of the P220 with the quarter fairing because it lends the bike a distinct image. The bike is a major head-turner only because of its quarter fairing. Otherwise the P220 S and the P150 look almost just the same. Another thing worth noticing here is that, the bike does not have the Projector headlamps available in the Older P220 DTSi 'F'.

However, this could definitely help Bajaj in cutting down the cost of the new bike by about a couple of grand which would lend it amazing Value for Money!

According to some sources, the bike costs Rs 78K (Ex Showroom, Bangalore). We'll confirm this bit and post the update.
