Pricewise it is about 120,000 baht less.

125cc v. 250cc

I will order one of these for the mrs tomorrow!

From a safety & ease of use around Patong, it looks to be ideal!

Does anyone have an idea when the MT-07 will be released and what sort of price ?

In the U.K it sells for equivalent of approx 270k baht !!

Looks like a lot of machine for those bucks

nice, nearly the same price with cbr150.

this is teh Indian version i guess. Are they making them in Thailand as price is cheap?

17Ps.

Low.

^Lower than what and what difference would that make in the real world?

CBR 150 R has a DOHC 4 stroke 150cc Liquid cooled engine which produces 17.6 ps at 10500 rpm and 12.66nm of torque at 8500 rpm.

Yamaha uses a SOHC 4 stroke liquid cooled 150cc engine on the R15 which produces 17ps at 8500 rpm and 15 nm of torque at 7500 rpm. Unlike the CBR the square engine on the R15 produces ample amounts of torque at low revs. It needs lesser clutch and throttle effort to pull away cleanly from a dead stop. The low end torque is enough to putter around in city stop go traffic from rpm as low as 2000 in second gear. Mid range is also better on the R15.

Oh. I thought it was going to be a 220 bhp R1 with ABS.

The R25 seems to have more of a 2-stroke power delivery which is a plus for me.

Exactly as small bike should be right Neal

Small bikes are all about rowing the gearbox staying on the pipe/powerband

I like that too

I like the look of this R15 far more than the CBR150.

It looks like an earlier generation R1.

I'm sure it will sell well, price seems pretty good.

pity it is coming with a SOHC. it means a dead top end although more low end torque.

I expect a better top end and more revs from a small single cylinder sport bike like Honda cbr150 is reaching 11,500 rpm with its DOHC engine.

Also Yamaha engine has an undersquare 57*58.7 mm bore stroke ratio which means it means it is not revvy in nature. Honda in the meantime has a revvier 63.4*47.2 oversquare engine.

Costs more & not sure it will appear in Thailand

but for a single cylinder I think this would probably be nicer

The Euro Version of the small Yamaha is quite nice isn't it?

I wa out on Prahoyutin road this afternoon and they were showing the Yamaha R15, you could have a test run on it and they seemed to be selling them like hot cakes. 88,000 Baht OTR, was going back for a test run, but then the heavens opened,that, and the fact it only puts out 17BHP put me off. In 1982 I bought myself A Honda CB125 twin which made 16.5BHP, not a lot to show for 30 odd years of progress..

That is a good pic

While I agree a 125@17hp is nothing to write home about

& close to half the hp of 20-30 years ago

That pic you posted is pretty tidy looking package

Will fit in good for those use to the Honda 150

Thai marketing, can't fault them, but I sorta want to buy something other than the bike watching this. I'm just kidding of course.
