27 August 2026 | Team ASCO Yamaha Delhi
Indian bikers have been waiting for this for over a decade. The gap between the R15 and the R3 has always felt like a chasm — and today, Yamaha finally bridges it. The YZF-R2 is officially launched in India, starting at ₹2,30,500 (ex-showroom Delhi), and at ASCO Yamaha Delhi, we couldn't be more excited to bring it to you.
This isn't just another 200cc bike. This is Yamaha's supersport DNA — the same philosophy that powers the R7, R9, and the legendary R1 — packed into an accessible, India-first package.
"India is the first market in the world to receive the YZF-R2. Deliveries begin September 2026."
Why the R2 Is a Big Deal
For years, the YZF-R15 has been the benchmark for entry-level sports bikes in India. Brilliant as it is, riders who outgrew it had nowhere to go until the R3 — a significant price jump. The R2 changes that equation entirely. It slots in perfectly, offering meaningfully more performance, more tech, and more presence without crossing into premium territory.
And it's Made in India, for the world — designed, developed, and manufactured at Yamaha's Chennai facility. It will be exported globally from here.
