India might not be among the top riding nations of adventure bikes.

[{"selector":"#anim-ff4d8b3d-0476-4db3-83d9-14ee65e08a6e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf364c59-3d5c-4812-b159-047e8c4c1678","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b56cc92d-d14e-427e-b7a6-70526aafddee","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 316.03180%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

But the Adv bike lovers are always waiting for a new & exciting ride to get launched.

[{"selector":"#anim-f5b04ff5-8474-4c30-8fe9-1cf86c2cc1a2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-63cdc918-787e-42b3-aa9a-5a62776cd5fe","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-85aa4fcc-fe32-4cee-9263-ab0b18d8dbbf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 216.88461%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

In recent years, fans are waiting eagerly for Yamaha to launch its first Adv bike in India.

[{"selector":"#anim-c5731180-b288-4bc0-93a2-addf7c3fa35e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-88dd864f-2e17-4f2d-841f-d30d75852663","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0fd8b3b7-3808-4b9b-8244-2ddba08bff0d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 216.88461%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

And it looks like the wait of Yammie fans is about to get over.

[{"selector":"#anim-8f777c3f-2bab-4fbd-9892-b2439cab4ae9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6c0949d0-4542-42af-8604-0ba0dc779a00","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-279e9232-7243-472c-bb3f-c8c4053fe404","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 316.03180%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

In an interview Eishin Chihana, Yamaha India’s chairman revealed that Yamaha is looking to tap into the entry-level ADV segment.

[{"selector":"#anim-60e341e2-f63c-4696-ab38-12a5c68f9fe0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1337881d-73c3-424b-8b58-384962f3d995","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-06b8b09f-790d-4585-b1df-2b5a73e89066","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 163.86833%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The first Yamaha ADV in India is likely to fall in the premium sub-150cc category.

[{"selector":"#anim-989f6bb5-e7ac-4694-831d-8ba521b21a08","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-15859937-9819-4dfe-81e4-e96380401cfb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f68328fb-0146-44da-be3f-fc12f5293d81","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 216.88461%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Company's first india offering could be similar to the Yamaha WR 155R dual-purpose motorcycle.

[{"selector":"#anim-c31d8823-630e-47c3-af5a-62ec63a83d90","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-308cc3e8-85e4-462a-805c-d7ba94ba2404","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-764228f8-c0ad-461c-a814-2ec5e4436c2c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 216.88461%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Japanese Marque did consider bringing this bike to India back in 2020.

[{"selector":"#anim-b44f608c-1259-4410-8f0a-224a7bb08c76","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4674aa50-c04d-4b3d-81cf-37bb326cf516","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7ad160f3-7343-4da2-9a44-539b964fa139","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 216.88461%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

If this bike eventually lands in India, it would be priced something around ₹2 lakh.

[{"selector":"#anim-1dcd7920-2fbd-4e6c-bcbe-a20d61df97cf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7477dd46-0bb1-4f4a-8a6a-47fd3b1765fc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2e08a4d8-19f4-420c-91e7-31ee1839a2a7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 216.88461%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

If not WR 155R then it could be the Yamaha FZ-X as it was even spotted in its flesh at a Yamaha dealership last month.
