You might be asking how a bike launched in Indonesia can have any effect in the Bangladeshi market! Well there are few reasons for it:

Last year we saw some sports bike from Indonesia launched in Bangladesh, many of which were very popular among the bikers in Bangladesh ( e.g Yamaha Xabre, Vixxion & Honda CBR150R & CB150R)
Already some importers are taking booking of newly launched sports bike from Suzuki in Indonesia which will be the first sports bike from the company in Bangladesh.
History says all R series of motorcycles which are launched in Indonesia at some point also get launched in India; hence someday we might see this new YZF-R15 2017 in Bangladesh under surveillance of ACI Motors Ltd Distributor of Yamaha Motorcycle & Scooters.
But most important of all because most Bangladeshi bikers have a soft spot for Yamaha motorcycles I won’t be surprise if any importers bring this bike soon in Bangladesh.

Speaking during the event Rossi said the new bike have the following features:

New 155cc water cooled engine. (This is good news for us).
This bike have a new technology as Variable Valve Actuation
More power output, the new bike produces 19 BHP @ 10,000 rpm & 14.7 NM of Torque.
New Design for the bike.
New LED Headlight.
Slippery Clutch to make engine braking more efficient.
Ram air intake
Upside down front suspension with an inner tube of 31mm.
Full digital speedometer
New Bike have a 50:50 weight distribution
Rear tyre is 140/70-17 & 100/80-17 front tyre.

They still had the same old Delta Frame which is still very popular among the bikers. Day by day Bangladeshi bikers are becoming a big fond of high performance sports bike, with the launch of CBR150R 2016 last year & Suzuki GSX-R150 coming already in this country in March-April through some importers the bikers in Bangladesh now can’t wait for the brand new Yamaha YZF-R15 MY 2017 launched in Indonesia to come in Bangladesh.
