We have been waiting for Yamaha Nepal to introduce its big bikes in the Nepalese market and it seems that the Japanese manufacturer is already ready to launch four new exclusive products including the iconic YZF-R6. MAW Enterprises, the sole authorised distributor for Yamaha two-wheelers in the country, is all set to launch the 2020 Yamaha YZF-R6, MT-09 naked roadster, TMax 560 sports scooter, and Bolt cruiser motorcycle in the Nepalese market.

YZF-R6:

The Yamaha R6 which made its debut way back in 1990 continues to be one of the most popular race-ready Supersport motorcycles ever built. Yamaha recently announced that 2020 will be the last production year for the R6 in the USA and Europe, hence, this might be your only chance to own the iconic supersports weapon.

For 2021 the YZF-R6 presents a sleek profile that expresses the next generation of Yamaha R-series styling. The LED marker lights create a striking face centered on the MotoGP style ram air intake. Yamaha says the flowing front ‘face’ and bodywork achieves the highest level of aerodynamic efficiency of any production Yamaha in history.

The 2020 R6 features Yamaha’s Chip Controlled Intake (YCC-I) for a broad, tractable powerband and a class-leading four-cylinder 599cc engine that delivers 118.4 HP @ 14,500 rpm and 61.7 Nm @ 10500 rpm. The engine utilizes 16 titanium valves, a high 13.1:1 compression ratio, and lightweight forged pistons to allow for smooth, high-revving power.

The R6 sits on a Deltabox aluminium frame and combines superior mass centralization with highly-developed suspension and refined ergonomics to become one of the most nimble machines in the supersport class.  The R6 comes loaded with traction control that provides six levels of intervention or can be turned off completely, D-Mode for adjustable throttle response, YZF-R1 derived suspension, ABS brakes, top-notch aerodynamics, and an aluminum fuel tank.

MT-09:

Introduced in 2014 as the FZ-09, the MT-09 is instantly the most recognizable motorcycles on the market. In 2019, the FZ was renamed the MT-09 to align with Yamaha’s global market. The acronym “MT” stands for ‘Maximum Torque’.

Packing aggressive style and impressive performance, the popular naked sport roadster features a potent inline-triple 847 cc three-cylinder engine, fully adjustable suspension, three riding modes, traction control, slipper clutch, standard ABS, and aggressive “twin-eye” LED headlights.

Thanks to the compact motor and narrow frame design, the MT-09 weighs in at only 192 kg. The MT-09 is built around a strong controlled-fill cast aluminum frame. The wheelbase, seat height, fuel tank width, rake, and other dimensions are all set to work with the qualities of the compact 3-cylinder engine to achieve a sporty, light and neutral handling character, an upright riding position, and a narrow feeling chassis at the seat/tank junction.
