Yamaha R15 Special Edition
Yamaha is readying a special edition of the R15
reports Indonesian blog Macantua. Excitement levels are at the peak for the
Yamaha R15 v3.0. The new bike will get technological and safety
centric updates.
The image shared by Macantua reveals a motorcycle
which has the same side fairing as the current generation Yamaha R15. The
headlamp though bears a new shape. In fact, the console has a very close
resemblance to the Yamaha R25, the next step R series bike family sold in
Indonesia.
Now with Yamaha’s track record of bringing
comprehensive updates to the R15 whenever there is a generation leap, it is
unlikely that cosmetics changes will be so limited. Even the body graphics are
in the same locations as of the R15 v2.0. We infer that this one is more of a
special edition or variant for the region.
The 149 cc single cylinder, liquid cooled, fuel
injected engine in the Yamaha R15 v2.0 (and R15S) churns out 17 PS of maximum
power at 8,500 rpm and 15 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. The Yamaha R15 v3.0 (codenamed Yamaha BG7) is
expected to gain a new 155 cc VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) engine when it
comes to the market next year.
