Firstly, Duke 125 is 125 cc only.Originally posted by prakhararya View PostWhat if it is named as R15 but engine is of much higher cc, like that ktm duke 125 which runs on 250 cc motor !?!?!
Secondly, Mini-Duke has some future variants, but they would be called as per their cc's like Duke 200, etc.

And all those guys claiming 22 bhp: Are you guys serious? Do you know how much high revving is required to make it touch 22 bhp?
A common 150 is about 14 PS. R15 lost the low end torque, in favor of 17PS output. Just 3 more PS. Already, its 17PS with enough compromises on the lower end torque. This is India, guys. Get real.
R125 abroad makes 15PS but reach an uphill section, and you'll have to downshift to the 5th gear just to get going. But that's Europe, people there know what they're buying.---

Make that 3rd gear!Originally posted by Samarth 619 View Post
Jokes apart, I would like to see whether the top end has taken a hit due to the increased sprocketing&fat rear tyre.
Also the handling.
Hell, I have many doubts-can't wait to get my hands on this one!

hahhahaa after riding r15 for a year selled it bec of cbr and no prob now i have just buyed cbr for 2 or 3 years so i won't matters to me. i just have to tell my dad and he is always thereOriginally posted by jigar2speed View PostAlthough 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

I fail to understand what makes the CBR owners so verry insecure! First trying to smoke Ninjas.. and now trying to smoke R15s. What makes you concerned about what other bikes can do? Learn to be happy with what you have paid for. Rather learn to be happy about what you are about to pay for (before you pay for it) and stick with the feeling during ownership. If you think something is amiss, or you won't be able to 'smoke' something which you would rather want to, buy the one 'which needs to be smoked'.
Also,PLEASE let the thing come out on the road before posting BHP figures and 0-100 timings out of thin air. Such figures (exactly like my post) are useless to the current discussion.
Back to topic: CBR and R15 are built for different customer sets and different audiences. The bikes need not be compared. Comparison is as futile as a P220 Vs ZMR Vs RTR180 discussion.Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

+1,
Kudos to yamaha to make the R15 sharper, and for that 80K of difference with the CBR (in which one could buy a RTR or a P220!) its useless to compare the two bikes.Super CommuTOURer� - Talk less, Ride more

While I would agree with the 1st two paragraphs I would differ on the 220 vs ZMR vs RTR180 discussions. The reason that people have and will continue to compare these 3 bikes is because they are the biggest displacement & cost effective products from these companies. While they do have very different characteristics, the fact that they are relatively closely priced, makes customers think twice about which one to pick. The regular Joe on the road and moderately knowledgeable Indian bike buyer may not be aware of how different they actually are but would approach the purchase from a monetary perspective i.e. "I have Rs 80 - 90 k to spend on a powerful bike. What do I buy?" Hence the endless debates.Originally posted by antz.bin View Post
Anyways, am looking forward to seeing if and how Yamaha has raised the bar with the new R15.Comment

Replace the words "I have to" with "I choose to" and notice the difference in how you feel.Comment

I agree with what you say completely... But what I meant to say was arguments like "Mine is better yours is worse" ( = "My Daddy Strongest") are futile whatever the price difference(Rs.200 or Rs.20 Lac). What you need to know is is yours the best(within your budget) at doing what you need it to do 95% of the time. And If it makes you happy 95% of the time.. I rest my caseOriginally posted by neil.jericho View Post. But if you are not.. then All I can say is buddy, you spent all that money on the wrong f'in bike...

Each bike (or cellphone or car or anything for that matter) is different&must be chosen according to what the buyer is looking out for.
For example, a Passion might be the best buy for someone while another is looking out for a Harley!
However, comparisons of products in similar price range is inevitable. It should just not be taken too far. After all, we buy a product coz we find what we want in it, not necessarily because its the best available at the moment. And if the latter is the buying criteria, then we need to keep upgrading, which in the present scenario, would mean going bankrupt-given the fast pace of evolution.
IMO, we can surely compare the old vs. new R15 to see if&how Yamaha has taken the game to a new level.
The old R15 was a game changer, hope this will better it.Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment
