The 2011 Bike Launch speculation Thread

[MACH50]

maybe we should ask him to wait on foot for his next sighting.

Was the guy doing running in on the new R15 bike then ????

Well,why he(Vaibhav) has to be on foot, he can use a Pulsar 220F for the kicks next time, relative performance judgment would be more valuable.We have already seen the picture no need of that.

based on pic 1 of 3 that he posted. the "horizon" doesn't look more than 200 metres away.

Ya I meant that only, I have seen 21 bhp bikes taking that time for that distance while I am going 120 kmph on mine.Atleast I do not lose track of them given the nature of Indian roads.The bike is actually moving at 25 kmph faster than me at that speed, it will seem like a bicycle is moving towards the horizon 200mts(is it ??) away.

[Vaibhav Saigal]

i don't recall the RPM at which the R15 does 120kmph at.

based on pic 1 of 3 that he posted. the "horizon" doesn't look more than 200 metres away.

buddy i saw it on a 23km long expressway so i could see a lot more than 200mts away........
in the above pic its just a curve in the road, its not the end........

[Vaibhav Saigal]

In that case you really have to be crazy while clicking a picture at that speed on a motorcycle.We sometimes see such brave persons on Youtube videos

The famous person you are reporting scoops,I also kept the possibility that you might be one of those daredevil tribes

Yes, the car assured that you click those pictures in comfort but never gave you the chance of ascertaining the rumored bike's performance

i am a daredevil but not an idiot who clicks spy pictures at 120kmph on a bike.........
agree to the last statement.......

Now this changes things......... works for me

based on these two virtually exact angles of the R15 in both these pics...



it's prolly safe to say that the front of the new R15 will look this.

Bingo!!!!!!!!

[rharish90]

The bike indeed looks small again!!!
and he's a smart chap....to remain unnoticed the number plate's put on with TC number such that it will look like just another number plate......

Damn! Next time we should abandon whatever we are doing and just follow him discreetly

itna b vella nhi hu yaar main..........
bt the coincidence is even bigger than u think...........i was the 1st one to :
click r15 being tested, click fz being tested and also report the testing of fazer..........

Do you remember roughly how long it took for these machines to hit the market after you spotting them?

[cmahajan]

this is the best i could manage........

If these are pics taken by a mobile phone at a speed of 120 Kmph...I gotta ask this: Which mobile phone do you have? The pics are extremely stable considering the speed...

Anyway...nice catch there...I like the new look and hope that the technology on the new R15 would be better and improved over the existing one !!

i don't remember exactly but i think r15 was out 3-4 months after i spotted it, fz was out in 2-3 months time n fazer was out in less than a month.....

[shane#1]

The bike clicked this time has the similar Rgdn number as the bikes spotted by Vaibhav initially.

UP 16 TC 0731 (Old Bike spotted)
UP 16 TC 0721 (New Bike spotted)

This also suggests a whole range of bikes tested

The new r15's tail light looks like the one on Suzuki slingshot but with LED.

That's exactly what I had thought when I saw the pics.
But then, even R6 has same/similar tail light.

well, you're going too far, try R125...

anyways guys, there's already a stand alone thread on the new R15 and we have confirmation there that the new R15 is ready but its not yet out because the old stock is not yet clear. thats the reason now if you go to yamaha shops, you won't always get all the colors available... it is expected that the new stock will be out by september and the new R15 is just an R15, no R17 or R250 as speculated, it's just that it comes with new looks and a better ECU... that's all...

vaibhav please use multi-quotes... don't flood the thread...

and this thread is meant to cover all speculated 2011 bikes but it seems its getting more of the R15 speculation... please stick to the thread originality.

i have info that CBR150RR is about to be launched later this year... can anyone confirm?

[zincha]

@Raneet Bro

Everyone has their own contribution to the thread and its not getting swayed in a single direction, so u must understand that no one here is talking only about the new R 15 its just that we have got some info regarding the same to discuss and express our views.
No hardships
And watch your post first before guiding others, whats the source of your info on the HONDA CBR 150RR ?? eh ?
There is no such bike for the two-wheeler market and if there is a bike it has to be HONDA CBR 150R.
All i have to say is watch your words mate watch your words !
