Am just sick of the same 125-150 haggle and when there is something close to 200 our jaws drop?
Hehe funny i find myself responding to this on almost every forum. This is a 140+kph bike (already tested on the chennai circuit), faster than anything we have right now and power is 20bhp+ at this time. Yamaha arent quoting final figures yet because some work is still going into the bike before they do that (hoepfully they dont detune). The final machine which will come out in June this year will still be faster than anything we have at the moment.

In fact i'll venture to say this, pit a Stock indian RD350 against this machine on our tracks and i'll bet the R15 will come out the winner. Thats the kind of overall performace we're talking here. Some people are laughing at yamaha releasing this 150cc 4 stroke claiming its a performance bike and what not, i mean how badass can it be right? well all i can say is they have no idea
