New 2016 Yamaha YZF-R1S introduced.

The new low-price version gets few mechanical changes, and is slightly heavier than the YZF-R1.
If you wanted to buy a Yamaha YZF-R1, you had two options till recently, the YZF-R1 and the YZF-R1M. However, those looking to buy these, have to walk into a Yamaha showroom with a thick wallet. From next year, if you want to buy the motorcycle, but don't have as big as a wallet, Yamaha seems to have you covered too, because they have introduced a cheaper version, badged the Yamaha YZF-R1S.
 
The Yamaha YZF-R1S isn't exactly cheap too, however the Japanese manufacturer has managed to shave off almost Rs 1.3 lakh from the price of the base R1. Despite this, there are very little differences between the R1 and the R1S. On the front, the multi-spoke magnesium alloys have been replaced by five-spoke aluminum ones, the titanium connecting rods in the engine have been replaced with steel ones, the oil pan and right-side engine cover are now alluminum instead of titanium. The exhaust headers are also stainless steel now instead of titanium. The Yamaha YZF-R1S also reportedly redlines a little lower than the R1, and this could be because of the use of new valve springs. 
 
Yamaha have now made the quickshifter optional, instead of it being offered as standard, but rest of all the hardware remains unchanged. It gets the titanium muffler and the entire electronics package that has a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit and offers traction control, wheelie control, launch control, slide control programs, and ABS.With all the changes, the Yamaha YZF-R1S weighs in a little over 203.2kg wet, which is about 4kg heavier than the R1. It does not even get a separate 'S' badge.
 
This motorcycle should be available with dealers across the globe early next year, and we can only wait and see the if and when of it coming to Indian shores.

Renault Kwid bookings cross 25,000 units.

Deliveries for the Kwid to commence next week. Renault targets 205 sales outlets pan India by December.
Renault India has received more than 25,000 bookings for its Kwid hatchback since its launch announcement more than a fortnight ago, according to the carmaker. Renault launched the Kwid on September 24 at a starting price of Rs 2.57 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the base variant going right up to Rs 3.53 lakh for the top-spec version. The car managed to grab quite a bit of interest thanks to its chunky, crossover-like stance.

The Renault Kwid’s delivery will begin next week and the hatchback will be available at omega replica watches dealerships across the country. Renault India has said that India’s tier II and tier III cities have also shown tremendous response towards the hatchback reaching out to dealerships with inquiries and booking requests.

Moreover, the carmaker is looking at expanding its presence across the country and announced plans to open 205 sales outlets by December. “The Renault Kwid has created a huge excitement since its launch and we are thrilled with the response it has received just at the on-set of the festive season…We are witnessing remarkable footfalls in dealerships across all regions since the launch of Renault Kwid. The innovative Virtual Showroom and the Renault Kwid app have received a tremendous response across India,” according to Sumit Sawhney, Country CEO and Managing Director, Renault India Operations.

Renault is offering a 50,000km/2-year maintenance policy that can be extended up to 80,000km/4 years. Furthermore, the carmaker will also offer complementary road side assistance for two years.

While this initial upbeat response for the Kwid might be a reason to cheer for Renault India, it might be too early to celebrate. With sales of its successful Duster SUV slowing down in the past few months, the carmaker will be banking on the Kwid to revive volumes in the country. It will be interesting to see if the Kwid, which squarely rivals the Replica Breitling Emergency Maruti Alto and the Hyundai Eon, continues to be well-received in the coming months.

New Suzuki GSX concept revealed

The GSX concept was revealed ahead of the 44th Tokyo Motor Show.
The internet is abuzz with various motorcycle concepts that have been slated to be revealed at the 44th Tokyo Motor Show. While the motor show is only a few weeks away, some manufacturers such as Honda and Suzuki have already unveiled some rather interesting concepts.

Suzuki has released an image of its concept, which does not reveal much but does seem to carry design cues from the previous GSXs. The manufacturer has said that "this upcoming concept GSX symbolises the high-performance bikes that bear the GSX name. It gives form to Suzuki’s inline-four sport motorcyle-making spirit and evokes a cocoon from which the company’s future sport motorcycle models will be born."

Based on the statement by Suzuki, it would be safe to assume that this concept would lead to motorcycles that could rival the Kawasaki H2R and Yamaha YZF-R1M, or probably their slightly tamed street-legal versions.
