YAMAHA LAUNCHED INDIA'S FIRST SPORTS BIKE
I recall during 80's riding in Rx100 was a great passion for all bike lovers. Yamaha name was become a house hold name in most of the house in India because of one only Rx100. All young boys loved that bike and its melodious sound. But later Yamaha was not able imprint the same passion with another model though the reputation of Yamaha was highest among bike lovers who admire the sexy style and performance of YAMAHA R1 and YAMAHA R6 yet another catchy name associated with Yamaha was the legendary Valentino Rossi.

What would the average Indian fan expect from designers like YAMAHA?
They dream nothing less than riding in R1 in the streets of India! Its dream for all of us to move with speed of wind in the streets of Cochin kaloor and Marine Drive ...well this dream seems distant but what Yamaha can contribute nothing less than what they promised in latest Auto Expo in New Delhi....The launch of YZF R-15.... Company official says it's the DNA of R1.

This will really shake the concept of Indian two wheeler Market. Yamaha has really initiated the process months back with the launch of YAMAHA R1 in selected showrooms. I got the privilege to interact with the distributors of R1, the confidence levels are much above they expected but average Indian youth will not be able to spend Rs 10.5 lakhs for a bike so the benefit has not extended to majority.
YAMAHA YZF R 15 will fulfill this dream. Surely, this will be the first bike to set a bench mark in India. Company officials' have kept the specification as secret but different rumors are there, all are matching with one point that R15 will be 150 CC.
Years back YAMAHA has launched another outstanding bike in 125 CC segment in Asian markets

YAMAHA R125
"We made the new YZF-R125 deliberately as a real sport bike and the similarity to its bigger sister the YZF-R6 is intentional, "explains Hiroshi Komatsubara, President of Yamaha R&D development centre in Milan, Italy. "There are only a few real super sport bikes in today's 125 cc class. And we felt that our young riders still think like the generations before when it comes to motorcycles. They like serious machines with exciting performance and many of them dream of a bike like the R6"
If this can be true about a 125 cc bike then much more will it be applicable for a model that set to challenge the biggest 2 wheeler market!
Some sources say that R15 will be exactly same as that of R125.... Then it will be fantastic!
