Yamaha V-Ixion 2013

V-Ixion 2013: Yamaha’s

Yamaha unveiled yet another beast from its stable, the 2013 V-Ixion, at the recently held Jakarta Motorcycle Show. Presently available only in Indonesia, its design is supposedly inspired by the Yamaha YZF-R1 with the tank resembling the latter’s design the most. Unlike its predecessor, the new version has a heavy and muscular design at the front and tapers towards the rear giving the rider a typical forward biased, sporty seating. The exhaust has been designed to mimic that of the Yamaha R1.

Another major change is the new strengthened box-type swing-arm, giving the rider good control and a smooth ride. The ECU has also undergone a few changes. Powered by a new IC and diagnostics port, the bike features a more efficient fuel pump and sports an overflow control aperture on the fuel lid. The wider rear tyre measuring 120/70 and rear disc brakes gives the bike a more stable and enhanced stopping power.yamaha v-lxion
