The Yamaha R2 has made its India debut, slotting into Yamaha’s R-Series above the R15 as a new lightweight supersport motorcycle. In this first look, we take a closer look at the Yamaha R2’s design, engine, DOHC setup, chassis, suspension, cockpit, instrumentation and key features. The R2 brings Yamaha’s R-Series design and supersport character to a new segment, while offering a step up from the R15 without moving into the larger 300cc+ motorcycle category. In this video, we take a detailed look at what Yamaha’s newest sportbike brings to the table and how it fits into the R-Series lineup. Would you pick the Yamaha R2 over the R15 or KTM RC 200?

Now I'm waiting for MT2 🤩
Never was I ever this much keen for a bike to launch. For me, acceleration will matter rather than top speed any day, and for now, that 149kg package looks alluring 🥺.
'No similarities from R15'. And the next point it 'yes the tail lamps look similar'. Wow what a contradiction.
nothing borrowed from R15, almost everything borrowed from R3
Who else thinks the XSR should come with this engine? ❤️
4:09 So finally Yamaha made a 26.5 hp motorcycle the same weight as a 43hp 2013 Duke 390 😂
Waiting for a MT02 with a bigger sized rear sprocket...gonna be fun on acceleration considering some more stripped out weight.
Now an MT 2.0 and an XSR 2 will come in a year's time.
Power figures are stunning. Let's see how that fares on the road.
At this price, we should've gotten the R25!
was waiting for you video to drop
No VVA No deltabox frame No full fairing Side look 🤮 Price 2.75l
We need that r25.. that would be perfect
2:52 cameraman spotted
AFTER THE SUCCESS OF CLASSIC LEGENDS MOTORCYCLES (BSA/YEZDI/JAWA) INTERNATIONALLY I AM EXCITED FOR MAHINDRA TWO WHEELERS INTERNATIONALLY. VANDE MATARAM. JAI HIND.
No doubt it will be awesome. but at 2.5 its getting undercut by Duke250, RTR/RR, GRR450, triumphs & RC. With the xm250 inbound. looks interesting how this will stack up.
3:30 well R3 also looks the same... That's not an issue
Very good first bike but not worthy an upgrade from r15 I guess ?
Amazing, 26 HP under 150kg🔥
even yamaha have updated there bike...now its time for suzuki update of SF250 and KTM RC 200...
