  • new R15 confirmed

    I had a word with representative of Yamaha Motors & got a confirmation of the release this diwali & production of old r15 is also stopped.. price tag & specification I cannot share because it is not to be shared, bike is very much good looking, power is great & in circuit track you will love to increase the spead while leaning at curves......

    I may buy this if mood does get off from R6..

      It is not 22 bhp but it is a bit higher then the old version.

      Everything else written by baz6255 can be easily figured out from what you see in so called spy pics.

      The bike is great at looks, but the dimensions are more or less same as the old R15. Outcome will be same; it will surely look good on people having average height maximum 5.5 and build average.

      There are changes and so called many changes but out of them 10-15 can be treated as negligible.

        • Are you guys bringing out these figures from a source or did you guys decide to start an Autostrology of your own?

            • Expect a bump of around 2-3 bhp.

              • Still back to square one, all still speculation!

                So what's concrete?

                1) The bike will be launched in September
                2) It will be marketed as the new R15, whilst technically it isn't, it's a misleading term
                3) It's a revamp of the older model, mostly only cosmetic changes
                4) Changes in sprocket sizing, obviously this is to counter the extra drag of the larger rear tyre

                Other changes will be the swing arm to accommodate the larger rear tyre, probably this was the main reason for all the testing, as for a power increase at best some minor tweaks, maybe 0.5 - 1 bhp max.

                More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
                Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
                Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
                Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

                    is that because you like CBR or own one?? lolz.. R15 weighs around 120kg and CBR a whopping 160kg+. If R15 were to produce 22 bhp, it will certainly smoke everything this side of 2 lakhs.

                        This's the only thing I was worried about in the new model..
                        But any news about top speed?

                        • Waiting for proper specs
                          Lets see what Yamaha has in the box to give a fight to the CBR
                          I feel like Peter Parker when I drive my Hunk in the city but I become Spiderman when I am on my CBR swinging from one lane to the other on expressways.

                            Although what you state is just a speculation and we should take this with a pinch of salt, but if by any chance if it turns out to be true. People who bought CBR 250 after selling their R15 *cough Rahul cough* are going curse the crap out of Yamaha

                                It will definetly give a tough competion to the CBR
