The 2011 Bike Launch speculation Thread

[tibby]

So Yamaha at it again!!

My inference from the testing being conducted since as early as Dec-10 is that there would be a considerable change in the specs. A bigger bore would top that list.
If it all Yamaha launch the bike with the same 150cc mill, I would say they are losing the plot. C'mon, 8 months of testing for just a bump in bhp is unacceptable.

Also, looking at the latest pic, the new tail looks too big for the bike. Infact, it is starting to look ugly to me (with respect to proportion).

[zincha]

I doubt it would be a 250, it better be a 200 that way the price will be competitve.
I sincerely hope its a 200 with 20+bhp!

[milancherian]

A 250cc from Yamaha would do them a hell lot of good right now!

[Abhichoco]

. are the testing them in some alien land or planning to test on initial customers.

Haha!
Hilarious man.

[bilalans]

I wish yamaha doesnt increase the price of new R15 ;p

rather I hope it to be a 250 CC bike ... I don't understand the strategy of indian automobile manufacturers.. why they always try to hide their new launches.. neither KTM has new specific news nor Yamaha.. and people are just boiling to see the new machines

[princesirohi]

^^mechanics being traned for upcoming launches........

any info of BAL training their mechanics for revamped pulsars??

btw, most of the bikes being rumored as "to be launched soon" are already seen testing here and there, but no such sighitngs for revamped pulsars. are the testing them in some alien land or planning to test on initial customers.

[usman_imazz]

Little Birdie informed me that the mechanic training for the new model of Yamaha(read NEW R series) is starting in August so the bike is expected to be on roads latest by Diwali ..

[milancherian]

I can't help but think that the R6 and CBR600RR will come soon! Too bad none of the manufacturers are ready to reveal their line-up for the coming year!

Yamaha Motor India needs to get a restraining order on you.

or may be they need to stop spying on me...........

[vishnus]

it's pretty obvious that Yamaha wants free publicity for this bike.

no camouflage whatsoever.



Yamaha Motor India needs to get a restraining order on you.



the three spy pics he posted actually show more detail than a lot of other Ducati/Triumph spy pics.

right words...... just stop speculating this damn vehicle.......it is a wast of time to......we have been doing this for more than one year....every time we forget about the bike, a new pic comes on the Internet from Vaibhav.....now a new cheep trick from Yamaha....a video giving a hint at the power of the bike......i have been waiting for this bike for a long time but now i realized that it is not going to launch anytime soon....so its a waste of time......guys please share something about the new p250..............

Ooh integrated with the tyre hugger eh!

And wow, He was not crouching at 110+ eh ? Wow on the bikes stability! Now it makes me wonder, Did it get heavy ?

and Yamaha scores

look closely

They are sending bikes for intercity rides as part of intensive testing. Probably thats why you are seeing a big backpack on the rider.

[milancherian]

thanks for the video.That was really nice to watch!

[MACH50]

i don't see anything "real fast" in that video ..that car was going near about a true speed of 105-110kmph & overtook that bike so bike must be goin near about the speed of 100kmph which even current R15 does with an ease..

Absolutely............the R15 was just cruising.

The car raised its speed to catch up and pass it at the speedo indicated 120kmph.......

Judging by the movement of the vehicles the R15 was doing around 95-100kmph with its speedo showing 110kmph or something.

The car was doing 105-110kmph with the speedo rising slowly from 112kmph to 120kmph.

Very normal incident for the R15 and the car on an Indian Highway.

This video is not about how fast or speed video, this is just the new design R15 spotted video.

[Vaibhav Saigal]

Would have loved to see more of the bike rather than the car's speedo in the video.

that would have made a better video sir but i guess at that speed it was more important to keep the eyes on the road.

the three spy pics he posted actually show more detail than a lot of other Ducati/Triumph spy pics.

LOL... BTW did you get the swingarm and rear wheel of the CBR250R
