  • new 2011 R15?

    everyone here had heard abt the 2011 R15 but itseems there is no official confirmation whether its R15 or R125 > ?
    btw my suggestion to all who are waiting for 2011 R15 is that the newer model is taller/heavier with same or smaller (in case of R125) engine, which in my case is a bit more difficult to ride as i am 5'4!moreover if the new model comes with 150 engine ,still it cant match with old one because nw bike is more heavier, unless yamaha has done some re-engineering on that old engine to pull more heavier load!! so if given an option anyday i would choose 2010 R15 in current scenario !!

      I think Yamaha might re-work its ECU to work 20bhp or higher out of the R15.It might also get a price hike.

      Apart from that expecting a new performance machine from Yamaha within 90K price range.A 250cc is already in tow.

        well if price is increased from the current price i am pretty much sure that ppl will definitely choose CBR over this!! so i think they are going to release R125 which is a good seller in europe and also in NZ i think!!it can easily destroy the market of pulsar150's/discover/a160/hunk etc with its expected price tag of 85k!!

                  • Rumours of a TB500 has been around for some time now, but nothing ever seen.
                    If a cruiser that goes above 100 is the only criteria, why not try the Avenger220 or a Harley SuperLow!

                            Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                            Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
