Yamaha R2 price and variants explained for Indian buyers
The Yamaha R2 was launched in India on August 27, with prices ranging from ₹2.31 lakh to ₹2.53 lakh (ex-showroom). The 2026 model is available in three variants — Standard, Quick Shifter and M — giving buyers a choice across the range. For anyone considering the R2 this month, the key decision is which version offers the equipment they actually want without stretching the budget unnecessarily.
What the three R2 variants are called
Yamaha has structured the R2 range around three variants: Standard, Quick Shifter and M. The checked information confirms the names, but does not establish a detailed feature-by-feature breakdown between them. That means buyers should check the equipment fitted to each version before choosing one.
The R2 uses a 204 cc petrol engine producing 26.5 bhp at 10000 rpm and 19.1 Nm at 8000 rpm. It gets a 6-speed manual transmission, a 12-litre fuel tank and an 810 mm seat height. Kerb weight is 149 kg.
What you get with the R2
The checked specification sheet lists several core details that matter when comparing the motorcycle with alternatives in this price range:
- 204 cc petrol engine with 26.5 bhp and 19.1 Nm
- 6-speed manual transmission
- 149 kg kerb weight
- 810 mm seat height and 12-litre fuel tank
- Front and rear disc brakes with ABS
The R2 also gets alloy wheels and self-start. Claimed mileage is 35 KM/L, while the listed emission standard is BS6 Phase 2B. Buyers can choose from colours including Matte White Pearl, Dark Bluish Gray, Metallic Black, Racing Blue, Metallic Gray, Hybrid Racing Blue, Grey Blue and white.
Which R2 should Indian buyers consider?
The price spread runs from ₹2.31 lakh to ₹2.53 lakh ex-showroom, so the variant choice can make a meaningful difference to the purchase price. Published on-road figures range from ₹2.63 lakh in Delhi to ₹2.87 lakh in Bangalore, with Hyderabad listed at ₹2.86 lakh.
Before booking, compare the Standard, Quick Shifter and M variants directly and confirm the equipment included in your preferred version. The checked data does not provide enough detail to say that one variant is universally the better buy.

TT Score
The Yamaha R2 looks like a strong-value 204cc sport bike at ₹2.31–₹2.53 lakh, with 35 km/l claimed efficiency, 149 kg kerb weight and ABS-equipped disc brakes, though its 810 mm seat height and sport-bike format limit everyday practicality.
Who it suits
- Value-focused sport-bike buyer — The ₹2.31 lakh starting price puts a 26.5 bhp, 204cc six-speed bike into an accessible price bracket for buyers wanting performance-focused hardware.
- Frequent commuter — The claimed 35 km/l efficiency and 12-litre tank make it well suited to regular petrol-powered commuting.
- Urban rider — At 149 kg and 700 mm wide, it has relatively manageable dimensions for Indian city use.
- Safety-conscious rider — It gets front and rear disc brakes along with ABS in the published safety specification.
Worth knowing
- · The 810 mm seat height may be a consideration for shorter riders.
- · The ₹2.31–₹2.53 lakh ex-showroom range rises to ₹2.63–₹2.87 lakh on-road across the listed cities.
- · 35 km/l is a claimed figure, so actual fuel economy in Indian traffic may differ.
