The 2014 FZ-150i has been spotted earlier in July 2013. Now, there are few more pictures of the bike circulating on the net including FB pages. The particular bike above is still being taped the model name, but we can see the engine is engraved with Yamaha. Comparing this picture with the Vixion in Indonesia, it looks like this is the FZ-150i which will make it to Malaysia soon.

The specs includes new rear brake disc system, the updated styling and headlamp. Also seen in the picture above is the missing of the kick starter, which we can’t confirm whether this is the final model or not. It still carries the single-cylinder 149.8cc liquid-cooled SOHC engine with fuel injection system. Power maxes out at 16.59PS at 8,500RPM and torque pulling 14.5Nm at 7,500RPM.

The actual date of release is not known.

Kawasaki seems to be preparing a new 250cc bike for the year 2014 with a new configuration. Rumored as the Ninja 250 RR Mono, this bike will incorporated the single-cylinder 250cc engine based from the KLX250. The bore and stroke dimension of the KLX250 is 72.0 x 61.2mm which is more oversquare as compared to the CBR250R that is at 76.0 x 55mm. The longer stroke of the KLX250 will give a higher torque and this will reflect to a better town riding experience.  (more…)
