The 2011 Bike Launch speculation Thread

[bilalans]

Updates Till now
Engine:
-149.8cc
-Bigger Sprocket for better low end
-Little Rise in BHP to handle extra weight
-Dry weight 135-137 kg (According to the Training Mechanics)

Cosmetics :
-Front Visor is same as old R15
-All New Side Fairing (Resembles R6 Fairing)
-Proper Split Seats
-Led tail Light (Again From r6)
-Fatter Tyre (130/70-17)
-Exhaust (may be lighter than the current R15 i.e 5.3kgs)
-Tyre Hugger
-10 Spoke Alloy Wheels (from R125)

Sounds similar to the stuff that Hero Honda did to give looks to Karizma ZMR.. Fuel injection and Bigger fairing a little improvement in power which was of no use due to increase in weight!! The only difference is that R15 looks hotter than ZMR any day, any version!!

Oh well, its 150cc after all,
i guess they've increased power to around 18-18.6 with the help of engine tuning, new exhaust and ECU remap.
My only wish now is that the new r15 is not slower than the older model.
If so,
I WILL BECOME A LAUGHING STOCK..

Why would you become a laughing stock, you made or designed the bike?

funny bro.....really funny.......i trust in yamaha............and i think they will never fail me..................

I have been waiting for this bike for the past 8 months.
I have to acknowledge the split seats, it looks really really awesome. Im really excited!
Lets just hope both performance and handling manage to impress.
Imagine a joel bore kit on this bike!
