2024 Yamaha R15M And R15 MotoGP Edition Launched In Taiwan
And these updated graphics look stunning
Yamaha has launched the 2024 editions of the Yamaha R15M and Yamaha R15 MotoGP Edition in Taiwan, with a few design changes. While the Taiwan-spec R15M features a new paint finish, the Yamaha R15 MotoGP edition sees some changes to its badging.
Coming to the R15M, the 2024 edition features a new paint scheme which combines the same silver and black colours that we have seen in India but comes with a few changes. At the front, the headlight section is now fully blacked-out. The fairing gets a similar change, with the top half being blacked out. The Yamaha R15 livery is written in a blue background with black lettering. The bottom half retains the silver colour with Yamaha branding in black. Other than this, the tail section now comes in black.
The R15 MotoGP edition, on the other hand, comes with the same graphics on the fairings as the model sold in India. The only visible difference being the Yamaha badging on the tank is a golden one.
Both the colour variants in Taiwan are priced at an ex-showroom price of 1,69,000 yuan, which is equivalent to Rs 4,35,877. Meanwhile, the R15M Metallic Grey costs Rs 1,96,500 in India, and the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Edition is available at Rs 1,97,700 (both prices ex-showroom).
The new graphics on the R15M look quite good and give the bike a more subtle look, while the golden Yamaha badging on the R15 MotoGP edition gives the bike a premium feel. Other than these cosmetic changes there aren’t any changes made to the bike’s performance. The Yamaha R15M and MotoGP editions still come with the same 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine which produces 18.4PS and 14.2Nm.
In terms of features, Yamaha offers a quickshifter and a traction control system as well. The R15M doesn’t have any direct rivals, though other more powerful alternatives include the KTM RC 200, Bajaj Pulsar RS200, Hero Karizma XMR and Suzuki Gixxer SF.
Yamaha R15 V4 User Reviews
- Neat condition bike with awesome road presenceThis bike is very good while daily riding is the main factor as the mileage is very good like 43 kmpl in city traffic and the maintenance cost is very low if you ride the bike properly. Also the road presence particularly of this edition is great. If you wish to look good while getting an optimum performance then you can definitely go for it. In my case this bike is in neat condition without any damages or missing parts. All the services done on time and so the warranty is valid.Read More1

- The Yamaha R15 V4 is a popular 155cc entry-levelI had a brother who likes riding this old r15 and I was small and didn't knew any super bikes at all, and this was my first super bike which had all sharpnes at edges, the colour, the speed, it had some personality. Its been amazing bike so far, smooth, light weight. Its top speed is pretty good. It gives good mileage. It is very nice for long rides. Performance of the bike is so good. Suspensions works very well on road. Yes, for sure but take my opinion and explore different bike, It may have something that this bike wouldn't have that charm but you can go for it, if you want sporty look and a good racing bike. Its nice.Read More6 1

- r15 V4 ReviewThe r15 v4 has the old punch while handling the BS6 engine with good aerodynamics and aggressive seating position. Its very easy to reach 140+ with default setting while it was not made for the long drive push, we can try the limits where I've driven around 25,000km in the same bike as well. I love it as my soul.Read More5 1
