    more misinformation thanks to our stupid media reports!

    It makes nothing less than 30PS in Indonesia

    On a serious note please come back to reality people!

      I agree with your earlier post. The new R15 might just be a marginal improvement over the earlier one in terms of power.
      Handling-wise, I have the same concern as you...the zillions of wannabe posers who wrote off/ridiculed the R15 just because "peeche ka tyre itna chotta hai...moped ka lagta hai", might have just convinced Yamaha to bring on all show no go!
      As for me, as an past owner of the R15, I would just want it to have a little more poke off the line and slightly better stance for people over 5'10". Would a seven speed gearbox be asking for much?
      Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

          Dude! I agree R15 version 1 was an excellent out of the box package, but its just blashphemy to come to a conclusion that the version '2' is worsened nothing personal just my 2 anna's

            Amen.
            People speak too soon.
            Before the launch of first r15, people were very very sure that it would be 21bhp, then when it turned out to be 17bhp, people said it was disappointment and cursed yamaha and praised bajaj.
            Then they realized what a gem the r15 truly was, they cursed bajaj and praised Yamaha(YES! Yamaha).
            Now again, the same story.

                  Quick comparo: Honda CBR250R vs Yamaha YZF-R15| Zigwheels.com

                  Read ir & stop comparing CBR to R15
                  the last line sums it up--" At an additional cost of about Rs 70,000 for CBR, you get a bike that cannot do things half as well as the R15 can, but can do twice as many things instead.

                        Downer -
                        Rules in Europe/UK restrict a 150cc making excess of 17bhp. And a 125cc is restricted at 15bhp. Reason why the awesome looking R-125 makes 15bhp.

                        For me, it appears as a cosmetic up-grade. And anyone now spending 1.1L would do better by spending a bit more and get the CBR-250R.

                          +100
                          That would be definitely a wiser decision

                              If anything, it should make less. Engine is always detuned whenever it reaches India to adapt to fuel here. I think, people should be grateful it it makes 18ps. Even that is optimistic. Nevertheless, the new R15 seems to get it right in the looks department, and for me thats important as well and I wouldn't mind paying extra 10k just for that. High speed performance isn't everything for me, considering I don't utilize them 99.99% of the time. So it seems logical to pay for where the other 99.99% matters.
