Oh man, that bike looks cool...

Bike looks great but it produces just 14.7bhp



Apache 250 on other hand is gonna produce 30BHP AFAIK

wtf is yamaha trying to do in India? Havnt they learned anything from R15 ? Now they are trying to comeup with a further underpowered over sexy bike which even a P150 can beat and is priced much more than even P220/ZMA.



What we need is an R250 or atleast an R200 or something.



They need to start learning from tvs/bajaj.



btw i know R125 is a successful bike in Europe. But it jst wont cut in as r15 is already here. Im seriously putting my thought on exchanging my FZ16 for the RTR 250 or anythin in that class which ll be out in nxt 2~3 months. Im dissapointed, none of the Yamahas could make it on my listing.

If it was priced sensibly then it would have sold like hot cakes.



Come on Yamaha give us something bigger

Lol its not easy to shit bikes u knw, u cant put a number behind the R and wish it comes to life. Yamaha is trying to get these bikes which already exist overseas first. Although this is what the R15 should've been like, this does sound overpriced but its worth 90k for sure if the build quality and parts are better than those pulsars, plasticky zma's and the tv sundarams .

If u want only performance maybe the rtr 250 is for u but that bike looks like a bull smashed in the face with a frying pan.

Also i dont think the P150 can beat this.

There have been no official pics of rtr250,the pic based upon which you are making your comment is a psED pic.

Yamaha should launch 2-stroke 250cc bike.As they known for 2-stroke bikes like legendary xt500.

Well the normal RTR headlights arent attractive either, and for 95k i doubt it will be a major change just like the pulsars.

Let me enlighten you.



Apache are one of the best looking bikes currently in India.



And the RTR250 is gonna get a full fairing and would be different from it predecessors

Well i dont like the Apache, too friggin small, no bigger than a platina, fck it bike preference is very subjective and varies individually, no point arguing over different opinions.

Theres just a major confusion for me over what to purchase, i have 125k to spend but if all else doesnt work out i ll just go get the Classic 350

Heres the other options.

I have been test riding multiple bikes since the past month and am looking for something new. Also whats currently available does not interest me.

Honda CBR150R, Review, Price, Honda Bikes India, Comparison, Images, Variants - GOod VFM atleast on paper

Launching New Honda KYZ 250cc |Tech News India - No specs out yet but looks like its from 2005

KTM 125 Race and Stunt motorcycles | Indiaon2wheels, India's first online motorcycle magazine - Looks neat but goin by the parts it aint gonna be lower that 2 lakhs , plus i am 23 now , looks too flashy for me.



Also someone plz tell what this is

Yamaha TZ R50, Review, Price, Yamaha Bikes India, Comparison, Images, Variants

2 stroke, is impossible, what with the emission norms

What i meant was, whats the need for this R125 when there is R15 here in market for more than 2 yrs and people are complaining it to be underpowered for its price and looks, which is atleast 17 bhp. This new one costs a freaking 90k and is jst ~14 bhp!!! And by any means, quality and looks cant suffice power, or am i wrong?



ive been hearing lots of good things about the new P180. Also apache has improved a lot from the original apache 150 to RTR to the new 180 FI. Hope its even better on the 250 one.



I seriously feel my FZ16 to be underpowered for the price,looks and fuel economy it gives. c'mon 14 bhp is way too low for a 90k bike. It might well make chocolate boys happy, who pees on 50+ kmph and still want fake look of an R1

So we Indian bikers will always suffer i guess.

There are a million of us who want something desperately but none of these manufacturers know what it is.

sigh

^^ Whatever Yamaha is trying to fool people with just looks. Just like their brand ambassador John who fools girls with his u know what



ANyway Yamaha has less than 10% share

Yamaha will not be launching this bike in India... my friend owns a Yamaha showroom in bhopal and he told me that Yamaha is not going to launch R125 in india.... You can confirm from here also....



Will Yamaha YZF R125 come to India? - Page 7 - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Lol that thread is more than a year old.

A lot of things change in 12 months.

I will clarify for myself when i go to the showroom tomorrow.
