Yamaha India launches Daytona racing kit for its YZF-R15

Yamaha India launched their Daytona racing kit for its YZF-R15 which enables the bike to reach a top speed of 150 kmph.

The aim was to destroy Bajaj Auto’s claim that their newly launched 2009 Pulsar 220 edition was the fastest production bike in the Indian market.

Bajaj is claiming that their new Pulsar model can touch a top speed of 144kmph. That record has now been broken by the Yamaha’s modified bike.

Yamaha India representative had this to say at the launch event: “Bajaj’s claim lasted for only four days”.

TVS Motor has also just launched the new version of their Apache RTR. The company said: “There was a gap in the market for fast bikes. And the new Apache was meant to fill that gap. But more than top speed, in this country, acceleration is more meaningful to buyers. They can at least feel it.”
