    Thats RTR hehe. Well, The RTR sports a Top Speed Register which records the Top Speed and over-writes the reading everytime you cross the previous record. You can record your top speed and then check it out later anytime reaching your destination or showing it off to your friends

      • wohoo
        i was skeptic about buying the CBR or waiting for The R15.. i waited waited waited for any news on the R15 and then got tired of waiting so went ahead and booked the CBR in mid July and have a waiting period till mid Oct
        So if this is the same old R15 with aesthetic upgrades..... i am gonna keep my CBR..... if not im switching loyalty
        Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

                    Yes,that is what I was trying to say. Shouldn't the alloys be different than what shown behind the curtains? They are the same as the current R15 whereas as seen earlier,wheels on the new one are inspired by the R125.
                    If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

                        • New R15

                          EXPECTED FEATURES IN NEW R15 ( its all available in internet after new R15 spied long ago)

                          DESIGN TOTALLY INSPIRED FROM their R6 & R125
                          - All New Engine Fairing
                          - New Headlamp Assembly
                          - New 10 spoke Alloy Wheels
                          - Proper Split Seat
                          - New Instrument Cluster
                          - New Shades (Expected)
                          - New Decals/Graphics
                          - Will be launched on 6th September

                          [IMG]file:///C:/Users/BAZ/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]New Yamaha R15 will be powered by the same 149.8cc Fuel Injected liquid cooled engine but it will be producing 22bhp (Expected) with maximum torque of 19 Nm (Expected), which makes it like the most powerful 150cc bike. (Update: again there are rumours that Yamaha India is not going to change the engine specifications)

                          • The foto on the FB page is a wrong one.. Some idiot intern at Yamaha has done a sloppy job.. Even the image behind the veil is MIRRORED.. Since when did R15 start having its disc brake on the left side..?
