New Yamaha off road underbone PG-1

[digbeth]

 

Looks like the Honda CT now has direct competitor in the Yamaha PG-1

115cc engine from the Finn, knobbly tires 

no detail on price yet but looks to be cheaper than Honda's expensive toy position

or even the Suzuki Raider crossover.

 

 

I'll keep my eye open at the local Yamaha dealer.

I already have a slightly modified Suzuki Raider J Crossover. It's pure fun.

But I will be paying attention to the Yamaha PG-1 for sure.

It's on the Yamaha Thai website now at 64,900฿.

Question:  Does "off road" mean unpaved road.?

Question #2: Do these bikes perform better than say,

a Wave, or Finn, with similar tires.?

One major difference is the presence of an actual upper triple-tree on the forks.

If you look under the fork plastic, you can see the Waves and Finns only have the lower, no upper.

Papa come down to Phuket. I will let you blast around on my Suzuki and feel the difference.
