Yamaha's Mystery bike to be launched in 8 days
Yamaha has gone Sci-Fi in their latest teaser video for a new bike that they will unveil in 8 days. We get a fleeting glimpse of the bike in what looks like a trailer to a James Cameron film. Credit to the marketing team for showing just enough of the bike to pass it off as a teaser video for it. There is far too little of the bike in the 15 second sequence to make an informed decision on what it could be. It isn’t even clear if we’re in for the unveil of a new bike or a launch
For those of you that have been hoping for it to happen, spoiler alert, it is unlikely that Yamaha is setting us up for the launch of the R25. As much as we would all want to see it happen, that does not seem to be the case. The one thing the video reveals is the front cheek of the mystery bike. Sadly, it seems to be just enough to soft-speculate that it isn’t the R25. Well, may be it could be. But it isn’t something you’d want to bet a whole lot of money on.
What it does look like is a slightly larger sports-tourer kind of machine. We did hear about Yamaha ”FJ-09″ for a new bike. Could this be the bike that taken on that moniker? There is also conjecture that this is a lower displacement bike that Yamaha has been working on in secret for a while now. Yamaha does have a few exciting things in store for the Indian market but nothing that we quite expect to look like the machine in the video.
