Yamaha R15M spotted at dealer, market launch soon

It looks a lot like the R7

The Yamaha R15M was seen undisguised prior to its launch

The Yamaha R15M was discovered at a dealer as a result of the start of national dealer shipping.

On Wednesday we saw the first pictures of the bike, which revealed its front-end styling. On the other hand, these current pictures show the complete styling of the bike.

Although the R15M is based on the R15, Yamaha made sure that almost every panel was redesigned to differentiate the two versions.

While the R15M may not look any different to the viewer than the R15, upon closer inspection, people will begin to pick up on the details.

The most noticeable difference is of course the front-end styling, in which the double LED headlights have been retracted in favor of a single LED unit.

Two DRLs flank the main light and the fly screen is also slightly larger. The mirrors have also been redesigned and the front fender is new.

The pictures of the recently discovered Yamaha R15M show the revised fairing of the motorcycle, along with the new shape of the fuel tank and the newly profiled side panels.

In addition, Yamaha has also changed the rear walls and enlarged the ventilation openings and the muffler has also been given a silver-colored heat shield.

The R15M will be available in at least 3 colors – Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP livery, Racing Blue and a combination of white and blue – which we are familiar with.

The R15M is expected to be offered with Bluetooth enabled smartphone connectivity and related features, including turn-by-turn navigation, and will be powered by the same 155cc engine as the regular model.

However, according to a leaked type approval, the motorcycle is said to have a maximum power of 18.35 hp, 0.25 hp less than the R15 V3.

The R15M will hit the market shortly and have a higher asking price than the R15, which is between Rs. 1.56,600 / – and Rs. 1.58,700 / – (ex-Showroom, Delhi).
