Yamaha is at it again. They have launched the new YBR 110 in competition to the Honda CB twister. The bike comes with a 106 cc engine with the max power of 7.6PS at 7500 rpm. Although an ardent Yamaha fan, I think yamaha might be repeating the same mistake that they did when they started the launch of their "small blunders" like the crux. 7.6 PS at 7500 rpm is really very mediocre and torque of 7.85N.m / 6,000 rpm is not really exciting compared to the excellent power delivery of peppy CB twister engine which produces 9 bhp at more rpm(8000 rpm) than YBR but the torque is much better at 9NM at 6000 rpm. So the ride ideally should be more exciting than the YBR.

Coming to the design of both the machines, the CB twister beats the YBR heads down. The YBR is nowhere as good looking as the CB twister. Looks like minor tweaks to the G5 and new sticker job for now. The test ride of the CB twister was really cheerful. Lets see how the YBR feels once I ride the newest offering from Yamaha.
