"no Prob bro, you will have plenty of option on your return"
Belgium is a nice place with lots of night clubs do get lots of info online before you travel.

I'm also hoping for a few more options when i return back home. And probably, with a bit more money in my pocket to actually get a bigger bike.

My guess is that the handlebars have risers on them to increase the height for city friendliness.
The rear rim also looks wider now.
Can't we get pics without covers?

If they leave a provision to increase the height of the handle bars, it would be really great.
However, YMIL is now getting a lil long in the tooth now, with the launch getting delayed . As for the styling, i have one grouse. The rear swept up profile (from R6) has been overdone.

Great !!!!

Now that we are sure that it's indeed R15, and not R17 or R20, I don't understand why Yamaha was hiding the R15 logo while testing it. Just to increase our curiosity?

Just try to focus your attention on the middle mass of this bike, and the rear upswept seems to be clearly overdone.

Agree to that. Also, I feel the rider is less crouched than what is required in the current one.
Just hope they haven't spoilt all the virtues of this bike!

I am not referring to the raised handle.
There are other things which are turning out, as I expected, disappointing.
However, I will reserve my comments till the bike is actually launched&I get to ride it.

Raised handlebar?? I hope R15's sporty character doesn't gets lost in the process. I mean this bike is no at all oriented towards commuters, so there is no need for rider to be less crouched.

Updates:

Just called Yamaha dealer to enquire about the new R15,and he said that the new R15 will be launched from 15-30 days from nowAnd more importantly there will be no increase in powerAnd the bookings are open for the new version.

P.S-The production of the old version has been stopped and it is not available in any of the dealers at my place.
