The Yamaha YZF-R5 does not currently exist as a production model in Yamaha’s lineup. The “R5” name historically refers to Yamaha’s classic 350cc two-stroke twin motorcycle from 1970–1972, a foundational machine in the brand’s performance heritage with its lightweight design, agile handling, and distinctive exhaust note that influenced later sportbikes.
In recent years, speculation and rumors (including YouTube concepts and unofficial renders) have circulated about a modern revival—often imagined as a 500cc inline-four or crossplane supersport to bridge the R3 and R7, potentially replacing or complementing the discontinued R6 in some markets. However, as of February 2026, Yamaha has not officially announced, launched, or confirmed any YZF-R5 model globally or in India. Current R-series offerings in India include the YZF-R15 V4 (₹1.66–1.94 lakh ex-showroom), R15M, R3 (around ₹3.39 lakh), with the YZF-R7 expected around mid-2026 at approximately ₹10 lakh.
Since no official YZF-R5 exists or is scheduled for 2026 release in India, there is no confirmed price. Unofficial speculative sources occasionally float expected figures around ₹4.6 lakh for a hypothetical base variant, but these are unverified fan concepts or misinformation, not from Yamaha. Availability would depend on future announcements, import/domestic production decisions, and regulatory approvals. Enthusiasts continue to await any official word on a mid-capacity R5 revival amid Yamaha’s expanding R-series strategy.
Yamaha YZF-R5 is expected to cost ₹4.60–4.80 Lakh (ex-showroom). The bike has not been officially launched in India (2026), and final pricing is yet to be confirmed.
