The 2011 Bike Launch speculation Thread

[captain koli]

ER6F or the Ninja 650R is sure, but which is the other? It is not the ZX6R for sure.ZX10R seems not possible.

my money is on 650r n zx10r cus i was told a 12/13lac bike is comin now logically
zx-6r/z-750/ninja 1000/z-1000 will not cost 12/13 lac's ex-shw rite so its got to be zx-10r rite now we have 1000cc from three jap's but no 1000cc from kawasaki so its elementary my fellow xbhpians

Yes, Z1000 must not be for 13 lacs. So ZX10R and the ZX14R are possible.
[Edit: Kawa's new bikes in 2011: Z1000SX and Z750R.]

Like the way the mirrors are placed on the ZX-10R...

I've also mailed Yamaha's Back office. AGAIN!!

This time they did not give any info.

I guess they'll lose a customer if they delay further.

Was planning to buy the new R15 on Feb if launched, but now disappointed...
Hope they do launch it in feb, or just have to buy the old R15...

Quote from the video-
"On this bike even Ramu looks like Rossi"

Any news about the new R15...? Any email from Yamaha Back Office...? Is it still being tested on roads...?

Saw this on FB:

If it's gonna come as same as it's shown in the pic, then its the best looking bike this side of ninja.
broad rear tyre, split seats, R6 inspired rear, almost same R6 front, R125 type alloys and all.

[Ghost11]

looks awesome.....so its just the facelift.

Nice but when is it coming out??Till now all we have is exciting news annd no actual confirmation from yamaha

And is the ninja really THAT good-looking??I actually find it quite plain looking compared to the r15,fazer,etc..ninja owners no offence..it's engine is simply a masterpiece..

[Aravind]

looks awesome....
very good for a photoshop job

P.S: being pessimistic is better than believing and getting disappointed later on
