The Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 has been one of the most highly anticipated motorcycles in India and has everyone talking about it ever since it was launched at the 2018 Auto Expo held in Delhi at a price tag of Rs 1.25 lakh (ex-showroom). We rode the new Yamaha R15 at a race track and were left impressed by its sporty characteristics. Currently available in two colour options – Thunder Grey and Racing Blue, the R15 has been spotted at a dealership sporting a matte black paint finish coupled with Monster Energy racing graphics.
The motorcycle was spotted in the Chennai region and the customisation has been done by the dealer. Although, the motorcycle is not for sale and it is said that the motorcycle has been given this treatment so it can be showcased at Yamaha Racing events. The key attraction includes the Monster logo at the front and bright green highlights across the body.
The 2018 Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 is powered by a new 155.1 cc single cylinder, liquid cooled fuel injected engine that comes with VVA technology and paired to a 6-speed gearbox. It produces 19.31 PS of maximum power at 10,000 rpm and 14.7 Nm of peak torque at 8,500 rpm. It also gets a slip and assist clutch. The new R15 was put on a serious diet as the kerb weight has now brought down 137kg, however that has also reduced fuel tank capacity at 11 litres.
