Car & Bike Yamaha R15 Version 2 Launching Today

Re: new model r15 2011

^ R15 cant be compared to the CBR, they are in different categories, CBR is 50K more and makes 10 more Bhp, feels more like a big bike.

That rear mudguard makes it absolutely ugly... :mad:

It is similar to the ugly unit on the Bajaj Pulsar 135... YUCK!!!

Its removable, its only to protect the pillion from the water spray from the wheels in rainy season

LOL, the rear mudguard unit is an original yamaha design and is same as yamaha R6, it was copied by bajaj for pulsar 135 :eek:hyeah:
 
Re: new model r15 2011

I was a hater of first r15 model. yuck.

But this. is looking very good. I hated the rear of the old one. This one looks way better.

Actually they could have put in the old pulsar like mud flap. This one does look ugly.
 
Re: new model r15 2011

The rear tyre hugger is not at all a "Executive Decision" for me, hehe, I just hope that the 22 psi is true. I'm not impressed by the r15 looks either, but once you ride it one may not bother with the looks. the more your ride the R15 the more you love it.
 
Re: new model r15 2011

I am really hoping for the best... R15 or R125... anything will do... :)

I am still not able to figure out what is written after R on that bike.. My mind says its R25.... My dream will remain a dream if its a R25 just because its will be unaffordable at this point of time...

Original or not. Ugly doesn't become pretty just because of it being original!! :p

It might be utilitarian but whoever said that every bike sold in India has to be utilitarian in looks as well?? Look at the CBR250R... Awesome is all I can utter!!

All the manufacturers in sports/superbike category are using that kind of rear mudguard whether its yamaha R6,R1 or honda CBR600,1000. the honda CBR250 is based on honda vfr series like a sports cruiser and not on actual superbike design.And i prefer this kind of mudguard which looks sporty, but others who dont like it may remove it in the showroom itself :cool2:
