New Yamaha R15 coming on Sep 6

Craze for Yamaha bikes can be best witnessed at a time when any new variant from Yamaha Bikes is expected to make its debut in the market. Expected to make its debut in the Indian two wheeler market on September 6, 2011, the New Yamaha R15 2.0 or the modified edition of existing New Yamaha YZF R15 has already made Yamaha aspirants crazy. Since the time of its launch announcement, the crowd has approached the Yamaha dealers to know about its features and specifications. There are also rumors that some Yamaha dealers have even started the booking for new Yamaha R15 at the payment of INR 1000/-. The existing Yamaha R15 or Yamaha YZF R15 price in is Rs 97425.

On the other hand there are some dealers who are still waiting for the official announcement of starting the bookings for New Yamaha R15 by Yamaha Motor India. However whatever the situation is the truth is that the proposed buyers of New Yamaha R15 won’t worry even if the amount they are paying for booking new Yamaha R15 is unofficial. The New Yamaha R15 is considered as the modified version of existing New Yamaha YZF R15. The major changes introduced in Yamaha R15 include the change in swing arm and the chassis which is visible at the rear. The thing which remains unchanged in New Yamaha R15 as compared to New Yamaha YZF R15 is the twin headlamps which is same as in the erstwhile model. Whereas the raised rear end with splitted seat makes the New Yamaha R15 a more stylish motorcycle.

Though from the beginning Yamaha R15 is always been considered as the baggage filled with unmatched features and now when New Yamaha R15 is expected as the modified version the expectations are obviously high. Moreover when it is already rumoured that it is designed more sportier and is made more powerful to deliver powerful performance it can be speculated that the New Yamaha R15 will set new standards in the Indian bike market. At present we just hope and wish that Yamaha Motors price will be affordable and more or less same as the existing Yamaha R15.

Strauss salutes Indian maestro Tendulkar

England Test captain Andrew Strauss has saluted India icon Sachin Tendulkar as the legendary batsman prepares to chase his 100th international hundred in the forthcoming series between the sides.

Tendulkar has notched 51 Test and 48 one-day centuries and Strauss believes there are few signs of the 38-year-old Indian's powers diminishing.

Strauss will get a look at Tendulkar's current form over the next few days as the Middlesex batsman is on a loan spell with Somerset -- in a bid to end his run of low scores -- and will play in their match against the tourists at Taunton.

"It goes without saying that it is a phenomenal achievement, not just the fact he scored those runs, but his desire and motivation to play that long and keep chasing down those records," Strauss said.

"He seems to be playing as well as ever at the moment. It is a great example for us all that if you are still hungry, there is no reason why your powers should decline as you get older.

"He has been one of the great players over the last 20 years and I'm sure he will want to have a big series.

"Technically he is fantastic, his mental strength to bat under that amount of pressure for all that time is fantastic.

"He is a very dignified and humble man as well. If there are good examples out there, he is probably the best of them."

However, Strauss is hoping England paceman Chris Tremlett can make life uncomfortable for Tendulkar and his team-mates in the first Test at Lord's next week.

"Are India susceptible to short deliveries? I think all the sub-continent sides have got better at that in recent years," Strauss said.

"It comes as a result of touring here quite often. Certainly their senior players are no strangers to these shores.

"We are not expecting any dramatic weaknesses there but we know someone like Chris Tremlett performed very well against them last time around here.

"He was a lot younger and probably less developed as a bowler then.

"I think we saw against Australia and Sri Lanka, that type of bowling, if done consistently and accurately, will trouble most people."

Beware of Tendulkar, say ex-England captains

By Mail Today Correspondent in New Delhi

Sachin Tendulkar has been in scintillating form for the past few seasons and even after 22 years on the road in international cricket, former England captains Michael Vaughan, Nasser Hussain, Mike Atherton and Graham Gooch feel the talismanic batsman will pose the biggest threat to the Englishmen in the much anticipated Test series that begins next week at Lord's.

"Sachin's a different player now from 2007; the best players in the world change little things about themselves to keep themselves in the game."

"In the last two years he's become more aggressive, he's gone back to his old way of trying to score when for a period he tried to survive," Vaughan told The Cricketer magazine.

"Chris Tremlett bowled well against him in 2007 and he's a miles better bowler now. But Sachin doesn't have any weaknesses although every batsman is vulnerable on and around the off stump early on. England might go aggressive at him, test him with a few short balls, I've seen people do that over the last two years and it hasn't affected him," Vaughan added."

Hussain, on his part, felt that Tendulkar has managed to rediscover his aggressive instincts, even after two decades of international cricket.

"Technically and mentally Sachin has changed little over the years but he has changed his game plan."

"He began as a flamboyant, extravagant stroke- maker who had all the shots and simply loved the game. Once the records and the hundreds started to be racked up, he turned into a run- machine."

"The Indian public became driven by his stats and consumed by a Sachin infatuation."

"His priority was his wicket. Once Sehwag arrived, he was happy to let him tee off."

"In the last couple of years he has rediscovered his flamboyance and is playing shots again," Hussain said.

Another England captain and astute batsman, Atherton, recounted how dropping Tendulkar proved to be an expensive and unforgettable experience.

"I dropped him in the gully at Trent Bridge (in 1996) and he went on to get a big hundred."

"He's not a man you want to put down early on. He was calm at the crease, difficult to get out of his bubble."

"There weren't any flaws. He was just a very solid, orthodox player."

"One of the most remarkable things is that he has hardly changed at all, exactly the same set- up, very few changes to his method. He's trusted in his technique and power all this time." "He's stayed true to his game."

Gooch, who saw the Mumbai batsman blossom as a youngster, said: "No one had ever seen him in 1990. As a 17-year-old it was evident that the lad had great skill, great balance, great timing, an eye for the ball."

"You could see he had all the attributes to make a top player."

For one so young he had a poise and composure about his batting."

"You don't often get that in young players; you get the talent and the stroke-making but poise, authority and composure normally come."
