Just hearing about a 200cc slotting between the R15 and R3 gets my pulse up. I'd love to pore over the spec sheet, but it's still unofficial so I can only imagine for now. If it's meant to fight the KTM RC200, Yamaha has to bring real tuning muscle—August 27 can't come soon enough.

If it's above the R15, does that mean pricier?

Probably still cheaper than the R3 though
