Yamaha R2 India launch set August 27, ₹10,000 refundable booking
Yamaha's new R2 motorcycle is launching in India on August 27, and it's got fans buzzing.
Sitting above the R15 but not quite in the pricey 300cc-plus league, the R2 promises more power for riders who want a step up without breaking the bank.
Prebookings are open now for ₹10,000 (fully refundable), and refunds will be processed only after September 5.
R2 likely 200cc, ₹2L estimate
The R2 sticks to Yamaha's sporty R-series look: think fully faired body and clip-on handlebars for that aggressive vibe.
Expected price is around ₹2 lakh (ex-showroom), putting it head-to-head with KTM RC 200 and Hero Karizma XMR.
It'll likely pack a 200cc-class engine with modern touches like a TFT display, traction control, and ABS.
Full specs will be revealed at launch, but it's set to be made in India for both local riders and exports.
