the vents on the new R15 make the front end of the bike appear "sharper".Originally posted by tibby View PostBecause no one complained it looked bad, so why change it. People had issues only with the rear. Maybe they want to go one step ahead, for whatever reason (which is what I'm wondering).
i really like the change.
also... if you look at the design update carefully...Originally posted by tibby View Post
u'll notice that the outer panels remain the same...
it's the inner side panels that have been redesigned.
(the one's which had the rag catching fire incident)

i always thot that hole looked ugly... happy with the update.
so what's ur take on the FZ16 with it's "weaker than R15 engine" and 140 section rear??Originally posted by crazy_NJ View Post
that's not a very accurate estimation of the FE.Originally posted by crazy_NJ View Post
40kmpl is more or less what the bike gives..

I too feel that its not a 150cc. There is an upgrade. Just my feeling.Sudeep P Nambiar

+1. Exactly my thoughts. It looks taller too, may be coz of the tyres, but it does look proportionate now and taller riders wont look odd on this one.Originally posted by chicane1879 View PostThe more i gaze at those scoop pics i feel it's a 250cc Yamaha in the pipeline!!Comment

If there is an engine upgrade/ any big difference then yamaha would have called the mechanics for the training rite? so i think its only a facelifted one. The showroom guys are also confident on this part.Originally posted by chicane1879 View PostThe more i gaze at those scoop pics i feel it's a 250cc Yamaha in the pipeline!!
Anyways am also fingers crossed

I don't know why we are again discussing on this being a bigger bike
because it has already been confirmed that this is indeed the new R-15 from Yamaha back office. Lets wait till this month end...
But I really hope that someday Yamaha will bring in a 250 based on R-1 just like it did with R-15

an r25 is sort of an impossibility at least in the near future. if it comes it should come with twin cylinders. i simply want it to kick ninjas as*.it could turn out to be the best 250 in the world.Originally posted by shadabk01 View PostI don't know why we are again discussing on this being a bigger bike because it has already been confirmed that this is indeed the new R-15 from Yamaha back office.

Very true...Originally posted by akhilmuraleedhar View Post
Wondering why Yamaha is not thinking on those lines, it can give a tough compition to both Kawa and Honda
Anyways coming back to topic, does anyone have any latest update about the R-15 RVR??

The 250cc sport bike market is a huge one internationally and now that Honda has made a new effort to address it.It is very likely that Yamaha will take the same route in the near future and then we can expect the same Asian production strategy too as Yamaha is seriously thinking of numbers these days.
For now, i think the bike in question isn't that bike.Knowing yamaha though ,it's likely that their R25 will be a twin like the Ninja.Life begins, once you hit the power band !!Comment

Agreed, R series has been dominating in it's segment and to keep the legacy going, R25 has to be powerful.Originally posted by gixxer_junkie_m View PostMy thoughts are subjected to personal experiences/internet articles. Please read my comment carefully before replying. :)Comment

Uh, to all those who are thinking the new r15 has a a ys250 spec, you're wrong. The ys 250 has a air cooled engine. So it's plain bulls**t if they put this engine into the R15 clothing

Riding is a way of life. Sometimes, it might also be a way of giving life. So Ride safe. In both contexts.Comment
