Yamaha R2 Prebookings Open Ahead Of Launch
Here's a chance to be one of the first customers of the R2, and get a special surprise from Yamaha
Yamaha R2 will launch on August 27, and has commenced prebookings on the brand’s website, for a sum of Rs 10,000. Apart from that, Yamaha has announced that first 100 customers to prebook could get a chance to meet its MotoGP riders, Alex Rins and Fabio Quartararo.
Now, if you are getting the itch to book the bike, here’s a look at the terms & conditions for prebooking the upcoming Yamaha R2, as per the brand:
It will be sold alongside the R15, and won’t replace it. It is expected to have a 200cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, based on the R15’s engine. Output could be around 25 PS and 20 Nm, and should be paired with a six-speed gearbox. Variable valve actuation (VVA) can be expected as well.
Its underpinnings should include a Deltabox frame, inverted fork, linked monoshock, 17-inch wheels, and disc brakes with both ends. Safety equipment should include dual-channel ABS, and switchable traction control. Features-list should have a TFT display with smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and ride-by-wire throttle.
Now comes the big question - Price. We expect the Yamaha R2 to be priced at about Rs 2.15 lakh (ex-showroom), which should make it more expensive than the Yamaha R15 M (Rs 1.86 lakh to Rs 1.98 lakh), but less than its main rival, the KTM RC 200, which costs Rs 2.24 lakh (all ex-showroom). It will also rival the Hero Karizma XMR and the Bajaj RS 200.
