      I really cannot understand how they are planning to put in these fatter tyres without changing the swingarm/chassis.
      I have already received confirmation that the chassis will not be touched as its ages ahead of its time. Same applies for engine also.
      I can understand lighter alloys, but there is virtually NO gap in between the swingarm to accomodate a 120 section tyre.
      At best, I can think of something like the RTR 180's rear-what was it now-110/70/17"?
      Quench my thirst with gasoline!

        the current swing arm easily accomodates a 120/130 section tyre as long as the aspect ratio of 80 is maintained.

        have tried ,used so confidently telling this

            i just spoke to my yamaha dealer.
            hes a really good friend of mine.
            he told me all the models that were to be released.
            but he has no idea about this model.
            if any new model is released the showroom guys will be given a heads up well in advance to prep for it like training specs etc.
            so he suggests either its fake or not for india or not gonna be launched any time soon.
            anyway he said he would confirm and let me know.
            cant wait !!
            Regardless, Life shall go on.

                what are the odds that it could be an R15 modded by some maniac ?
                How is everyone sure its a new model being tested ? Nobody even talked to that guy :|

                  Yeah,it would be a shocking news if it turns out to be just another mod job. But those tyre huggers suggest otherwise.
                  And if there is no technical changes in the upgraded bike there is no need to notify the dealers, right?

                      no bro. when fazer, fz-s, sx-r was launched the dealers were notified.
                      i dont know for what purpose.

                      • ^^^^ May be it will take some more time to actually launch it.
                        hoping we are not in for a disappointment

                          When the first spy pics of Fazer was on xbhp, i enquired about it in the showroom and they don't have a clue of it.
                          Same in the case of CBR250R also...
                          So can't tell with that case...

                          • i don't want to disappoint anyone here, i have seen a modified R15 in bangalore kormangala/hsr area which looks very much like this, is full black exactly the way it is in the pic. but the wheels are different.

                            the bike in the pic has a white number plate, which means it is registered, so i think it may be a modified bike!!

                            if it turns out to be a new face-lifted bike, i may buy it in march/april'11

                              I sincerely hope this is not restricted to a cosmetic-only upgrade!!

                                yaa this bike is registered i think up as on number plate
                                and why will yamaha register his bike for testing .
                                it is a modified bike done by any bike Enthusiast.
