Yamaha Thailand just released the 2013 Yamaha Spark 115i YEC FI. This same bike is known as the Yamaha Vega in Indonesia. It also has its similar twins here in Malaysia that is the Yamaha Lagenda 110. This bike launch coincides with the info from MotoMalaya regular tipster, Pengecat Bintang, about the the upcoming Lagenda 115 FI in Malaysia that are going to be equipped with fuel injection.
At first, I was thinking this new Lagenda 115 FI might be the Yamaha Jupiter Z1 which has been recently launched in Indonesia and well received there. The Jupiter Z1 is a powerful and interesting bike in my opinion since it gets 20% more power from the same displacement with the renown handling of the agile bike. On further reading of the screenshot above, it seems that it might not be likely since the Lagenda 115 FI is going to follow the bike from Vietnam specs. Anyway, it is a good time for HLYM to introduce the small FI bike to wiser rider in Malaysia now. The estimated launching time for this bike, along with new XJ6, is next year. It can be as soon as January. I hope the price will be right for that kind of 115 FI bike, maybe just around RM5,500-6,000 max. If it is more than that, better get the 135LC.

Saya rasa tak payah kita berangan lah. Honda dah berdekad jual motor injection kat Thailand, tapi kat malaysia apa cerita? Sama la mcam yamaha. Saya rasa pembuat motor kat malaysia ni rasa selagi boleh perah duit pembeli motor cub dengan teknologi lama selagi tu dia jual. Pasal tu la EX5 sampai skrg masih jual dgn body lama walaupun kat ASEAN body tu dah pupus.
Saya rasa pembuat motor yang agak berwibawa kat malaysia ni cuma suzuki. Mereka banyak kali cuba bawa teknologi dan inovasi baru tapi tak dapat sambutan. Sekarang nampaknya macam dah putus asa. Jadi siapa yang kita kene persalahkan dalam kemunduran industri motorsikal malaysia?
