The 2011 Bike Launch speculation Thread

[milancherian]

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

[BladeBoy]

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.

[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..............

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

[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!

[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 ..

[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.

[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

[Abhichoco]

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

Haha!
Hilarious man.

[milancherian]

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

[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!

[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).

[hss]

The bike looks hot in Red and White. I am already beginning to image how it would look in sporty Yellow and White.

Hey Vaibhav, your friend should have stopped his car in front of that bike and gathered all the details of the bike. This wait to know the details of this bike is killing us man !!!

[saipranav]

a 300cc R3 with 40 bhp power, ergonomics of r6 and price tag of 3 lakhs would be uber cool
