      Phew. Posting after a long time. The bike looks fresh, the rear tail looks good. The mudguard looks fugly (hope its so in the spy pic, and looks better in reality).

      And seriously, what has the Fazer taught us? Add a couple more good looking plastic parts, up the price and people buy it! Simple. Exact same philosophy. No offense to Fazer or FZ riders. Both bikes are excellent machines, just I don't understand the price.
      Today there is not much differenace between the prices of any 150 - 180 and the FZ Series.
      Yamaha has not hiked prices after launch (If I am right ???) and others have hiked prices over the past 1 or 1 and 1/2 years.

              guys instead of going completely ot, i think we all can shut up atleast for a month. we will know within a month exactly what we are getting and yes that 15bhp r15 is ridiculous.

                @ sooraj: in your avatar pic what is the lion after-the zebra or the bike? just a doubt.
                superbikes are the biggest blunders on indian roads.

                  Had a talk with yamaha headoffice guy,according to him
                  its a new swingarm to accommodate the broader tyre....again no change in engine power

                    So there might be a possibility of the bike being heavier than the current one!!

                        Yamaha had to give in to posers and make the rear end like the imported bikes!

                        After all they want to make money, performance be damned!
                        17 bhp downgraded to 15 bhp. What a shame!

                          no ways yamaha will downgrade the bike! com'on guys it is a YZF-R series bike. on the contrary i think yamaha will rather look for increasing the power by keeping the same displacement of 150cc!

                          R15 has built up a benchmark for itself that no bike has managed to reach. i dont think they will want to loose this!! yamaha (new)R15 will only improve over the (old)R15

                            hmmmmm... that's weird... coz the current R15 swing-arm can accommodate
                            an FZ rear mag-wheel AND an FZ 140/70 tyre.

                            so the "new swing-arm" theory is unlikely.

                            they've also managed to "uncrap" the current R15 tear end.

                            the design update is brilliant.

                            it's not going to be 15ps.

                              Say that to Yamaha fanatics lol! (I love the big rear ends of superbikes.)

                                I wonder what would be the status of old R15 after the new one is launched? . They might stop the older version to boost the sales of the new one if tis the same power with tail & tyre upgrade alone.

                                The increase in performance is directly proportional to the size of the hole in your pocket :D
