              • if it'll be having same power @ 1.30lac then CBR250 is better option..new R15 will be a poser bike then, that i doubt

                  • Aaarghh!! 20 - 25th Sept, I need to go tomorrow and book my bike,

                    I was all for booking the CL 500 but the waiting period and the the looks of the new r15 have tilted the decision in its favour. M gonna miss the heavenly torque of the CL though.

                      I agree with you, let's wait and watch what Yamaha unfolds....
                      I don't know what to expect with so many rumours churning around here so many speculations , but it's interesting.

                        • couple of bhp's or even just 1 extra hp with better low end torque will make new R15 worth around 1.15lac..that's not much of an asking from a company like Yamaha ..

                            What if they lauch it with 22 bhp

                            • ^^ Totally agree with what '111diablo111' said. Actually 22 bhp from a 150cc seems quite impossible.R15 only needs some juice at low rpms.

                                Actually it is very much possible but the only issue being that the bike would no longer be street legal
                                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.
