Yamaha Motor India has unveiled its latest addition to the R-series line-up, the YZF-R2, in the Indian market. Positioned above the popular R15, the new model features a 204cc liquid-cooled engine that generates 26.5hp and 19.1Nm of torque. Available in three variants, the Yamaha R2 comes equipped with traction control, a slipper clutch, three riding modes, and dual-channel ABS, all starting at a price of Rs 2.30 lakh, with the top variant reaching Rs 2.53 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi.
The motorcycle boasts a lightweight diamond frame weighing 14kg, resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of 177.85hp per tonne. Yamaha has designed the R2 to offer a significant performance upgrade over the R15 while maintaining a comparatively light construction. The motorcycle is set to be sold through Blue Square dealerships starting mid-September, with bookings already open for a refundable token amount of Rs 10,000.
