Thread: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

I think this thread will become more alive after 1:1 comparison between the V1 and V2, but the V2 should atleast have done 2 services it means around 4000 kms. Till that time its only about pics and purchases.

please do post the mileage the bike returns after the run in period! and the top speed etc etc

+1^^
V2 has too be at least 4000-5000 kms old to compare it to the V1 for a more better result in a comparo.

Noo.
We'll just wait for some brave soul who dares to rip the bike in the initial stages.
In the mean while, Ill be babying mine.

@Azet: Thanks for the information dude! I can wait until I get something concrete about the top speed. I do not need a saree guard at all and tyre hugger is an eye sore, so I'll take them out.

Incorrect I must say, to take care of the performance, its ecu has been remapped this time and surprisingly it would have a better top end than its older sibling. Please wait for this news to be tested on real rides.

Oh god .... I went to the Yamaha showroom today to see if I can book one today .. And they are like it would take 45 days. Now that's going to be long wait... booked the white and red

Man, that's EVIL

I booked my Marlboro R15 V2 like 15 days ago and the dealer says it will be delivered in mid December. Should I ask him to give the delivery in Jan 2012 instead? Selling a 2012 bike later will be easier than selling a 2011 bike even though the difference is just of 15 days. Sometimes I think I should cancel and go for the CBR250r since I've already driven a 150cc bike before. But then the quality of the Indian CBR250r is total crap compared to the ones in the UK and US. The quality of R15 V2 is real good and the looks are awesome.

I would ask them deliver the bike in 2012.
