Comparison Between Honda CB Twister And Yamaha YBR

First thing to consider is the price concerned with these bikes and as we see the Yamaha YBR stands out as its much cheaper than the Twister.
Dimension wise both the bikes are quite similar and there is no need to count on this.
Fuel Tank Capacity is definitely more for the YBR and hence the twister lags behind by nearly 5 liters which is a huge difference.
In terms of power and torque the Twister turns the heads of its customers while the YBR follows it.
Kerb weight for the twister is again lower than that of YBR by nearly 15KG.
Considering the fuel economy the Twister surprisingly defeats the YBR by nearly 5 km/l which is nice.
Acceleration of the Twister is better while the YBR's engine is not quick at all giving the former the edge over the latter.
Taking sharp turns with the Twister is certainly a treat whereas the YBR doesn’t performs well when it comes to cornering.
The YBR comes with a luggage rack and an engine kill switch but lacks the important disc brakes while the Twister features optional disc brakes.

Car Blog India Verdict

If you are looking for a budget bike of low cost and looks are not very important, YBR is a good option for you. On the other hand if looks & performance are your primary concern and do not worry about the price then Honda CB Twister is the bike for you, it meant for pleasure & quality of ride.
