The 2011 Bike Launch speculation Thread

[vicky_anish]

Kudos to Vaibhav.... I was thinking of getting CBR 250R but i need to keep my options wide open I guess Immmmmmmmmmm

When Yamaha does indeed come out with a 250cc, am guessing somewhere around 28 or 30 PS with absolutely unbelievable handling!

On one side you say this is a publicity stunt from Yamaha and on the other side you speculate! I am like that too! Yamaha seriously knows how to play mind games

no man,you got me wrong over there.I said when yamaha does indeed bring a 250cc. but enough with every manufacturer and their publicity gimmicks, we want more powerful bikes!

I think the more delay Yamaha makes in releasing this bike, the more customers' expectations will rise.

Just imagine, if in the end, if it just turns out to be 150cc, under 20bhp bike, how devastated we would feel...atleast I would feel so..

Last week the Service engineer in Yamaha SVC told me that their trainings start next month for the new R15. He said that the power is increased and will be around 21-22 PS. They are yet to get the exact specifications. He also said that some Yamaha dealers have started taking bookings for the new R15 with 10K as booking amount. When I asked him about the price he said that the dealers themselves are not aware of it and are just taking the booking amount.

P.S.: I dont know if he was speculating or what. I just told you guys what he said to me

One of my non-xbhp friend claims that he saw the new face-lifted R15 in Malad's Service Center in Mumbai.. He says that its 150 CC only. Since I did not get a chance to see anyting .. can't confirm yet.

[shrinathrao]

Dont want to break or make anyone angry, but as per the talk i had with pune YFS they told that it will be like the complete new revolution the R15 bought in 2008.

So even i am keeping my fingers crossed but watching the new R15 snap i feel the position is aggressive like R6.

Oh my God! Now we have started speculating based on hear say about the "new R15"! No offence to anyone though. It just shows how well Yamaha has played its game and how much we are so eager. It happens before every big launch.

Dirt bike and street bike are completely different I guess...
Dirt bike must have higher rewing engines than the Street bikes.
Hero honda is trying out a completely new segment for indian arena.
