Yamaha Ray-Z: First Ride

June 11, 2013 by Aninda Sardar Leave a Comment

Recently India Yamaha Motors introduced their second scooter offering for India, the Ray-Z the latest member of the sporty Z-family (the others being FZ and SZ motorcycles), which, as in other Z-models, comes with additional features.

The visible changes include a new smoked-finish visor, wing-shaped aluminium grab-bars, carbon-fibre finish on the instrument console and on the seat. Also included are three new body graphics that look great. Then there are the all-black wheels and front forks to complete the bad-boy image of the Z.

The Z variant is mechanically identical to the Ray, adopting the same four-stroke, 113-cc SOHC engine, producing a respectable peak power of 7.1 PS at 7,500 revolutions per minute and 8.1 Nm of maximum torque at 5,000 RPM. We didn’t get a chance to test the Ray-Z, but it would offer similar performance like the normal Ray, which did 0-60 km/h in 9.48 seconds and returned an efficiency figure of 42.5 km/l. Smooth power delivery makes city commuting a breeze.

It carries over other features from its sibling, such as the practical folding rear footrest, 15.5-litre under-seat storage and a couple of cubbyholes near the ignition switch. Priced at a premium of Rs 1,500 over the regular Ray, the new Ray-Z is priced at Rs 48,555 (ex-showroom). Being a more trendy option, the youth may just bite the bait.

In recent years, however, the MT-10 has begun to show its age, especially in terms of technology and rider aids. It was always on the thirsty side, too, and, by modern standards, the brakes were lacking. It was time for an update, which is why for 2022 Yamaha introduced a new MT-10 earlier this year.
