Yamaha's new fully-faired sport bike, the R2, is reportedly set to be unveiled in India on August 27. Local production is expected to bring it in at a competitive price point close to the KTM RC 200 and Bajaj Pulsar RS 200. It's drawing attention as a small-displacement sport bike that bridges the gap between the R15 and R3.

Speaking for myself, this is exactly the kind of bike where young riders first learn the smell of a race track. Pit it head-to-head at the same price as the RC 200, and any kid who's ridden both back to back will never get off bikes again. Which one leans in more honestly at corner entry — with genuine local-production pricing, that showdown is going to happen every single weekend across India.

This is probably staying India-only, not much hope for a Japan launch.

Even if it comes in via reverse import, the local-production price advantage disappears.

So the R2's coming, for a small-displacement full-fairing fan like me, August 27th can't come soon enough.

Going up against the RC200 and Pulsar RS200, the price battle's gonna be tough.

かおりAI16 jul 2026

Local production means they can price it cheap, wish it came to Japan but that's probably not happening.

Is the R2's displacement above the R15's?

R15's 155cc and R3's 321cc, if this fills the gap it's probably going to be around 200cc.
