Spy Shots: New Yamaha R15 in the Pipeline?
Yamaha R15 Spy Shot
It’s been more than a couple of years since the Yamaha R15 gave Indians a dose of how a supersport machine should behave by setting the benchmark in the handling stakes. This is the flaship bike that changed Yamaha’s image in India and paved way for the cheaper Yamaha FZ16s stupendous success. Ever since the Yamaha R15′s launch, Yamaha India has gone forward with the R15 championships which has provided for the betterment of Indian motorcycle racing in a big way. Now, the Yamaha R15, while still being the class leader in the handling stakes is slowly getting dated as newer motorcycles offering both power, handling and style are all set to be launched.
Yamaha R15 Spy Shot
Perhaps this will be just the right time for Yamaha India to launch a revamped version of the very successful Yamaha R15. One of our readers, Vaibhav Saigal, has sent in these spy pictures of the Yamaha R15 testing somewhere in India. While we can’t make out much from the pictures, the tail lamp design and the alloy wheel design seems to have changed and so is the inclusion of a different rear wheel tire hugger. Apart from these changes, the exhaust end can also seems to be different based on what we could decipher from the spyshots. Also, the rear seat seems to be set a little higher than usual with grab rails now on the sides rather than on the rear. The giveaway bit is the fairing which clearly shows the right side crankcase to be that of the Yamaha R15. The wait begins.

Fingers crossed ?:-)
Wanna know more.
Do the tyres look bigger as well?
thats the R125 dear :)
look closely dear..
wondering why u r even bloggers….
Anvee,
Could you please tell us how you concluded that it is the R125?
If you have ever happened to see an R125, you might have noticed that the R125′s fairing covers the right crank case partially and this isn’t the case with the motorcycle captured in the spy pics. Also, the front disc brake of the R125 is situated on the left hand side of the wheel rather than the right. Finally, the exhaust of the R125 is a stubby design which is definitely different from what exists on the spy pics. Hope this clears it for you.
It would serve you best if you work harder to better Motorbeam’s daily traffic rather than indulging in mindless criticism of ICB bloggers. :-)
Cheers,
Jay
want to knw more. . Gng to buy ths bike. . If ths s d case i can wait for it. . . Pls let me knw. .
There was no criticism there ICB.
Sorry if it hurt. And an explanation would have been enough and you neednt have commented on Motorbeam’s daily traffic.
Your website’s quality of news sucks anyways.
@ Anvi:
Thanks for stopping by :yes:
Firstly, Could I ask you the reason to write this line -> “why u r even bloggers….”
What wrong have we done here that prompted you to write this line. Whether this bike is R15 or R125, that is a separate issue & can be debated.
Now you are again coming back and being illogical. I will not say anything about our “quality”. That you are here commenting on our posts speaks something about us. We let our work do the talking.
Let’s get to the real thing here and as Jay asked:
Could you please tell us how you concluded that it is the R125 ?:-)
This will be a better way to take things in the right direction !
I wish u were courteous enough to ask take permission b4 posting my pics on ur website……….
@ Vaibhav,
We received these pics via Dileep Anirudh and if you see we have given credit to you as well as to Dileep.
Also your email ID is there on the pics and these have been used as it is.
We have not claimed that these belong to us. Dileep asked to publish it, so we did that.
@Vaibhav
i actually sent you a mail regarding this but dint get any reply. Just checked my mail unfortunately it got held up in my drafts :-(( . And since i am a regular visitor over here i just told them. As they thought this was taken by you and me they just published it. :-?
The mistake is from my part i should have checked my mail prior. :-/ .
So regret for what has happened. :fingersxd:
plzzzzzzzzzzz tel me when it wil come…………..
a BIGGER r15
told that is a r125 cos a reliable source passed it over. trust our source more than your pointless work.
the “wonder why you are even bloggers” comment wasnt for this particular article it was a general comment on your website.
You guys are just kids. KIDS. SMALL KIDS.
and whats that thing about using personal pics on your blog without permissions.
desperate. terribly.
^^^^hehe
Cheers,
Jay
@anvi
st*pid boy stop blogging nonsense
This is definitely a 250 cc bike (Can’t imagine such big tires on a 150cc, that would really hurt the performance), i guess Yamaha is getting all set to compete against Honda CBR250 and the Kwacker 250.
Hope they give some exchange offer to exchange with R15, I would be the first one in the queue… :-)
Satish,
What you’re saying makes sense.
Cheers,
Jay
the pictures are mine,so who is dileep to to give u the permission to upload the pics……..
plz remove them asap,this is my final warning……..
Vaibhav,
As per the conversation we had, you have kindly agreed for us to use the R15′s picture on ICB.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Jay

DUDE its R125..for crying out loud..how do you even manage to keep a blog? ADMINS please no false information and try to do some research before naming wrong bikes! -_-’
FYI: R125 is supposed to come in like July 2011..so a must wait! although it’s 25cc lesser than R15 it’s way better in performance and style! :D
Okay went to yamaha mumbai’s dealer to inquire about the R125 but he said that R125 is not likely to be brought up =/ but he did showed these same pictures and said i know thats R125 but the new R15 will be even better with 250cc [not confirmed] and might cost around 1.50L :D :D not bad if you getting the looks of R1 and awesome performance =D
no the r125 but something to cheer about.r125 has a different shape

Hi guys,nice to see the response from u all, i m working with yamaha & this is not an r125,it is r15 with modifications,will come by october 2011,it is still under testing & clearance from ARAI>>
wait till october>>
R125 will not come in now,now yamaha is concentrating on its scooter market,have to launch the scooter by next year.
@Vikram: Still 4 months to wait? :( :(
but the is such that it is worth waiting…
looks damn good..i think its better worth waiting 3 months,but when i called an showroom in chennai, they said its available.i think they should have meant the old one, 2moro am gonna check it and keep posted..@vikram thanks for the info dude!!
FIRST OF ALL, 4 ALL THOZE GUYS HU THINK ITS AN R125 !, U GUYS REALY NEED 2 UPGRADE UR LEVEL N GET BACK WITH SOME INFORMATION. MY FRIEND HAS IMPORTED R125 FROM EUROPE N THATS TOTAL DIFFERENT FROM THIS 1 SHOWN IN PICS. THERE’S A HELL LOT OF DIFFERENCE BET. THIS AND R125, WHICH CAN B EASILY CAUGHT BY AN ADVANCED BIKER. SILENCER, FRONT DISK, FRONT ELEVATION, REAR TAIL, MUDFLAP, TANK, ALL R COMPLETLY DIFFERENT !
EVEN IT IS 60-70% SAME AS THE PREVIOUS R15 ! 8-)
WAITING DESPERATLY FOR ITS LAUNCH. PLEASE TELL WHEN ITS GONA REALY LAUNCH N WHAT WILL B ITS PRICE ???????????????? :evilgrin:
Just when I was about to buy an R15!! It’s not fair yaar. The R15 did look diminutive. Don’t particularly like the tyre hugging mudguard. Yuk! shud move over to the CBR 250 or wait for the Ninja to drop its price.
when will R15 version2 lunch in nepal.
