talked to one of my trusted mechanics at Yamaha Factory Shop at malad. He says, there are almost 100 features that have been added/upgraded in the new version. The top speed would be ~160 and power would be 20-21 bhp.. The price would be around 1.2 L on road..

However, the showroom guys at the front office are taking a booking at 2000 rs. and quoting the expected price to be around 1.38 L

Hard to believe!! I don't think that your trusted source is trustworthy enough...

Sounds too good to be true. No matter how much my heart want it to be true, mind always asks, why do you think its possible?

Don't know about others, it surely would be mine. 160kph on a 150cc machine is going to be one hell of a feeling. Max speed I could ever manage was 147kph and never was able to repeat the same. If the top speed is 160kph, it should do 150 at will, even though with some stick.

Wow the changes sound really nice.

However if the engine pumps out 19ps, will the bike still be able to show improvement in mileage?

Cant say Exactly..iam not a technical expert but practically if u see CBR250r its 250cc and 25bhp but gives 35kmpl so why not 150cc bike with 19ps gives 45-50kmpl?
Correct me if i am wrong anywhere.

Well friend, thank you for sharing the information. Hope you are correct. Logically speaking, you are correct with the concept of CBR giving mileage of 35 so why not R15 will give 45...

Well the thing is, mileage is also dependent upon the kind of engine one machine has. Such as R15 has a high revving engine, it means that you can only get a good mileage if you ride at less than 5.5k - 6k RPM band.

I haven't got anything better than 40 in terms of mileage from mine as I always rev it beyond 6k RPM.

So, you are correct upto a certain extent but not completely.

You can also add a revised cyl-head to your list. Confirmed these today from my Dealer in Mangalore and the SVC head who recently came back from the training session. Also found out that our dealer is flying to Delhi tomorrow for the launch on 6th
-The bike is about a KG lighter, and pumps about 19ps (estimated by the riders)
Not sure about the HP or weight yet but the price is said to be around 1.23L OTR in Mangalore, 5K more than the current bike and 20 bookings done here already

The top speed has been bumped by a good small 2 digit number.
If the gearbox ratios haven't been revised then this bike will be slower than the current bikes by atleast 6 kph in top gear but I was told that the internal ratios are revised but I prefer to confirm this once I get hold of its spec sheet/manual

-The bike has got changes into complex parts like its cams, the valves, the crankwheel, the clutch assy and even the wiring harness.
Was communicated exactly the same today

-The tyres are beefier but weight almost the same as the old ones. THe tyres are actually smaller profile one this time! However the RIMs have been reinforced.
130 rear section confirmed, front 90/90 is a possibility

Can't wait for the bike to be launched on 6th and put an end to all speculations.

19 bhp is practical....beyond that could be a bit hard to reach....

**HotAntivirus** · 09-03-2011, 12:33 AM

If these speculations are true, The R15 V2.0 is a very good upgrade and Yamaha deserves a loud round of applause.
