Yamaha R2 Specifications and Features
The Yamaha R2 is expected to feature a fully faired design inspired by larger R-series siblings, incorporating aerodynamic winglets and an aggressive riding stance. Mechanical propulsion is tipped to come from a larger development of the 155cc liquid-cooled engine, likely displacing around 200cc to 220cc with Variable Valve Actuation to generate approximately 24 bhp to 25 bhp and 20 Nm of torque.
Power will be channelled through a six-speed gearbox equipped with an assist and slipper clutch, alongside a possible bi-directional quickshifter. Equipment lists are expected to include upside-down front forks, a rear monoshock, dual-channel ABS, multiple riding modes, and a digital colour instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity.
