re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia


Basically the same bike, with different motors?

Why not jazz up your selection and make your wet dream wetter?
How about the absolutely mad (and cheap)FZ 09 ?

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia

Holy cow! So ur saying that you have already seen the pics of the bikes that have people here doubting on their existence altogether!

And now WTF is R3!!

Words on bikeindia.in


"Yamaha are expected to offer a larger capacity motor above 150cc but below 200cc in the third iteration of the ‘R15′, if it will even be called that. This move will continue to see a liquid-cooled, four-valve, single-cylinder employed but with added power, most probably to the tune of 20 PS. With wider rubber already arriving on the 2.0 edition, we doubt it will sport any fatter tyres. The 2.0 also brought in a longer wheelbase so it remains to be seen whether the 3.0 will feature any changes in this regard. Another sure-shot expectation is the addition, or rather the option, of ABS to improve braking control over questionable surfaces.
As far as styling is concerned, we don’t expect much to change, or, if the company do decide, it could be something entirely radical; but that’s just wishful thinking. Either way, there’s a new YZF-R incoming, and those who want a fully-faired scaled-down sportsbike can look forward with anticipation.

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia

I dont believe any of this, except this being a clear speculation. Since Yamaha already confirmed that they are focused on Scooters till the end of 2014, expecting a launch of entirely new machine is very remote. When it comes to delaying the product launches, nothing beats Yamaha.

It will be a refresh of existing line-up and no new fresh launch thats what I can predict looking at long history of Yamaha. I seriously hope they prove me wrong here.

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia

Went to a dealer to test ride a v2 yesterday and also to inquire about the new colors. Dealer said that the new colors will take at least 2 months to reach showrooms. I think the 2013 colors were already in showrooms by feb so why are 2014 colors taking that long. Makes me think it would be what yamaha might call the v3 with the speculated upgrades.

Ride Till The End...

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia

The focus on scooter looks pretty evident as the dealer only had all the scooters lined up in his display. Fzs and r15s were behind covered.

Quiet possible. But whether it is v3 or not, will have to wait for the 2014 models to hit showrooms as i really like the new blue.

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia

Sad to see no rear Disc brake!! Will it have a FI ??

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia

My wish list :

1. USD Forks.
2. Radially mounted front calliper.
3. Ram air box.
4. All digital instrumentation.
5. LED turn signals.
6. Improved headlights.
7. Revised engine internals (for more power, maybe a shorter stroke and higher rev ceiling).
8. Midship exhaust system like the R6 and R125.

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia

1. i wish that too, but sadly i dont see a reason yamaha doing that to indian roads
2. sounds good.
3. perfect
4. all digital except the tachometer nothing beats the look when u see the needle hits the revv limiter than a digital number n also few extra things like time n other things.
5. perfect
6. must needed!!!!
7. there were things doing round about new remapped ecu n all. and little more power
8. i personally dont like those exhaust :/ but i doubt they will do that.

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia


Your wishlist lacks the one wish which is the most likely to be fulfilled : New stickers/special edition

But honestly, if it turns out to be a twin/triple I'd be delighted.

I just hope yamaha pulls a rabbit out of the hat and launches an FZ 03, 300 CC triple on the lines of the FZ 09 which has been a great hit globally

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia

Hehehe... Already R25 rabbit is playing hide & seek under the hat and making the people like us to go mad.. I wonder what FZ 03 that too 300cc has got to offer.. But I like your wish dude

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia


My oh my! Isn't that a LOT of expectation ?
The only rabbit pulling was done by hero by unveiling the HX250R. Yammie on the other hand wants to ride scooters here.

Come on Yamaha!! Give us a 250/300 cc twin to take on the Ninja 300 and Duke/RC390! I don't care what guise(naked/supersports) just bring it on!!

P.S : Did you guys read that Kawasaki is launching the Z250(250 cc parallel twin) soon in India??
Here it goes :
Kawasaki Z250 coming to India soon | Bike News | Bikes 200cc-350cc | Autocar India

Yamaha wake up to the competition!

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia

Yes its a naked, sharing the outgoing ninja 250R's engine with slight typical naked bike tuning... It will be direct competitor for R25 interms of performence factor... but yammie might
have a slight edge over Z250 due to sports tuning and dynamics.... Let's hope both will rule the 250 cc PT engine segment:thumbup:

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia

why is this thread too turning into r25 thread again? :/ every other post says " come on yamaha i want r25" and other stuff. stop whining!

No offence, but other manufacturers have expressed their wish to launch 250/300 cc bikes. non are still on the road and for atleast few months they wont be also and same with yamaha. also few guys (in xbhp but other threads) told that yamaha should upgrade their current fz and r15 bikes. and recently we got to know that new r15 and fz are being launched. r25 prototype is shown so that people know that there is a 250 cc in the making. there are fleets of bikes coming this year, the competition is starting now. i understand the current performance bike enthusiasts are inclined to d390, more in the package for lesser price. i cant compare bikes based on the pricing but people still buy the N300. the market is divided into target customers based on pricing. now there will be certain set of customers who will push their budget to get the particular bike for performance. and i am one of them and few others here also belong to that list.

RC series- pic of bikes being tested
hx- only showcased
r25- prototype showcased
pulsar ss and CS- showcased and pics of testing all over
N250 single cyl- speculated launch by year end.
and other ninjas only news about launch and not launched yet.
mojo- showcased
so guys please chill.

did i miss anything else ?

now coming back to R15 V3 (about which the thread is for)
if the said or speculated changes are implemented there will be increase in costs by few thousands (i am guessing 2 to 3k increase), and since r15v2 will be stopped its likely they might not increase pricing so much. i personally will not want the looks to be changed much, maybe 10-20% looks difference is fine (yes i am being mean here since i dont want a better looking bike than v2 ) . and i will certainly not buy the v3 because if wont make sense for me atleast.

since new fz pics are posted, i cant really see the design properly, but not much happy with it since i liked the current fz looks. i hate to see fz getting lean.

now i am not sure if this thread should continue since its turning into a different thread all together.

i know i cant say what should mods do but mods please close this if found that way. :/

re: 2017 Yamaha R15 launched in Indonesia

Sure let us put an end to R25 saga, atleast in this thread & keep the fingers crossed

I'm also feeling the same way, don't want to see v3 v4 or even v5 atleast till I buy R25, I'm waiting for r25 like a dog waits for a piece of bone:
