Waw wat g8 bike i like this bike when it will be lunch in nepal? and what the cost for this?

[stereobites36]

Isit so difficult to build a bike that has looks plus performance? To be honest, yzf r125 looks GREAT. But the r15 looks boring. As if something is missing. What r125 lack is performance. It has low speed. And r15 has higher speed. -.- C'mon yamaha build the 125cc sport bike foundation strong. I would surely buy if r125 has better performance. But it's slow for a sport bike.
