Yamaha has opened pre-reservations for a new sport model dubbed the "R2", believed to be aimed at the Indian market. The booking amount is ₹10,000, with an official reveal set for August 27. Local reports unofficially peg displacement around 200cc with a 6-speed gearbox and pricing near ₹2.15–2.20 lakh, with production planned at the Chennai plant.

No official spec sheet yet, but just the leak of a 200cc-class engine with a 6-speed box gets my pulse up. Compared with the outgoing model, this displacement band strongly suggests a global export play. Between that and locking in buyers early with a ₹10,000 deposit, I can't wait for the August 27 reveal.

Can't wait for Aug 27, seriously considering putting my name down.

Can you actually cancel after paying the ₹10,000 deposit?

200cc with a 6-speed box — unofficial but sounds about right for the class.

Probably shouldn't take those unofficial spec numbers at face value yet.

₹2.1 lakh-ish for this displacement feels pricey.

For that price wouldn't a Royal Enfield Himalayan be the better call?
