Yamaha launches the R2 in India first globally at Rs 2.30 lakh. 204cc, 26.5bhp, three real trims and five colours, slotting neatly between the R15 V4 and R3.

Read the full review

Why it stands out

  • Brand-new, Japan-developed 204cc engine is a genuine step up in the 200cc segment, with a claimed segment-leading 26.5 PS
  • Dual-channel ABS, traction control and an assist and slipper clutch come standard on every variant, features rivals in this price band don't all match as standard

Worth knowing

  • At Rs 2.30 to 2.53 lakh ex-showroom, it sits meaningfully above established 165-200cc rivals like the KTM RC 200 and TVS Apache RTR 200 4V
  • Just launched on 27 August 2026 with deliveries only starting mid-September 2026, so real-world ownership reviews do not exist yet
