Yamaha R15 Overview

Yamaha showcased their 150cc offering at the 9th Auto Expo held in Delhi earlier this year. But, Yamaha did not disclose any of the specifications of the bike at the event. Except for showing the bike, Yamaha were not keen on declaring any bit of the bike's performance figures or price tag or any other information.
The bike sports just a 150cc mill. Yeah, that's it. i know its a lot less. But if it is going to compete with the likes of 200cc+, then whats the issue? The bike claims to be having a peak power output of around 18 bhp which is quite a lot for that small an engine. 4 valves per cylinder sounds too good. Though there have been no speculations about its torque, this bike is going to be one hell of an accelerating one. The bike has delta-box frame. This is designed on the same lines as that of the R1. The R15 has a monoshock rear suspension. A digital console which looks exactly same like that R125, is a very sporty one. The digital console is blue-backlit which adds a real chic look to the whole thing. The bike will probably do a top end of more than 140kmph. This figure seems to be very absurd. I can understand. But I have source who has himself had the chance to ride this bike before any one else did and he managed a max speed of more than 145 kmph and that is the only reason why I am so sure about this thing.
I guess this says everything about the bike. Whatever features it carries, or whatever shit has gone in that engine doesn't make for a big difference to the common biker. All he wants is performance and that is being delivered. And that is what satisfies him. I would like to conclude this brief description of the bike with the probable price tag at which the bike will be placed in the market. the bike will cost around 96k to 100k. That might look at like a big figure, why look, it actually is a big figure. But then the kind of stuff that is offered by the bike is just awesome. You don't get that kind of things in that kind of price tag.
So what are the bikers waiting for, get down to save money for this Superbike for India!
