This bike was looking so cool and sporty it speed and pickup was so good The R15 has always been an entry-level sports bike and the 2.0 is no different.
The 2.0 improves on areas where the older bike lacked. Yamaha says when it was time to update the first R15, the R&D boys held customer clinics to find out exactly how they needed to tweak the R15 without corrupting its baby-superbike soul.
The first thing people pointed out was the thin tyres, which gave excellent grip but looked out of place on such a wide bike. So the front now comes with a 90/80 tyre, which is a 10mm increase over the older R15. The rear is a 130/70, a whole 30mm wider. The wider tyres have enhanced the 2.0’s visual appeal, but they’ve also increased drag. I have this bike im very happy.
