Yamaha R2: Expected Powertrain
Yamaha has not yet revealed the complete specifications of the R2. However, the motorcycle is expected to use a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with a displacement of more than 200cc.
The engine is expected to follow the high-revving character seen on the R15. For reference, the R15 uses a 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 18.1bhp and 14.2Nm of torque.
The R2 is also expected to have a relatively low kerb weight. A lower weight could help the R2 offer a different balance between performance and handling.

Yamaha R2 Expected Price
The Yamaha R2 is expected to be positioned above the R15, which currently starts at around Rs 1.57 lakh and goes up to around Rs 1.98 lakh, ex-showroom. The R2 could be priced in an ex-showroom price range of Rs 2.30 to Rs 2.50 lakh.
