LED headlamps have finally been confirmed for the
upcoming Yamaha R15 v3.0. A new spy shot by Iwanbanaran and TMCBlog reveals the front section
of the motorcycle.
The LED setup gives the bike a more aggressive look
which will give it a better platform to fend off the challenge by the Honda
CBR150R. Pilot lamps have been added at the end of the swept-back lamps. A
large air dam has been placed adding to the aggression but that may remain as a
mere cosmetic feature.
The Yamaha R15 v3.0 is expected to get a bigger VVA
(Variable Valve Actuation) mill with an engine displacement of around 155 cc.
With the Suzuki GSX-R150 gaining the title of the most powerful motorcycle in
the segment by producing 19.17 PS of maximum power, the bike is for sure set to
get a power bump.
VVA tech will also help the bike have more usable
power in lower rpm, making the Yamaha R15 much more rideable in city traffic.
The front suspension now bears upside down forks. The Yamaha R15 v3.0 will
effectively also get a price bump to compensate for the higher input cost.
