The 2011 Bike Launch speculation Thread

[payeng]

I agree.. a 200 cc would be just perfect.

[amitmalve]

+1 But according to speculations/rumors, its the same 150cc mill with a remapped ecu for more power. But nothing can be said till have a official word on this.

[zincha]

I may be being over-optimistic but i somehow feel it is a 200cc mill with 20+ bhp.
With twin projector headlamps, aerodynamic fairing revision and the remapped ECU it will set the sales figure high for Yamaha if its priced around 1 lakh.
Nothing more to ask for..
This should be it..

Alright guys, I just spoke to a yamaha rep.
He said the New R15 is going to be 180cc, 22bhp and 2 variants, ABS and Standard. The bike will be released next year but bookings shall begin soon. He also told me that his store manager is attending a meeting today and that he'll let me know about the exact details of the bike on monday!
Please treat this as speculation as long as we don't have SOLID proof, Im just saying what I heard.
Authenticity of the above info is not guaranteed.

Well sarcasm or not,

Don't know about the ABS(Its existence is questionable)..

not sure ..ur bluffing or giving true facts ... but from ur info .. its highly possible ..

18PS with 150CC mill is very practical .. seems like 1PS extra might compensate the 120section rear, and with almost same price factor .. its truly a winner in the premium section of 150CC

A big cheer to current owner to get there older bike to modify with this new components .... atleast for me untill GT250R comes out

if the ex showroom price is around 1.15 lakhs with the same power, then its not that attractive a package for me... what would be the OTR price?

[milancherian]

Well, we still have a possible 250cc Yamaha on its way. Lets just hope they bring R-xx instead of the Fazer series! Fingers Crossed!

Not very attractive man. Too expensive for the specs. I 'd rather pass and look for some 250 cc ones.
