Spy Shot: Is that a Naked Yamaha R15?

A motorcycle, seemingly a streetfighter design, has been caught testing. Interestingly, it is highly rumored to be the naked version of the Yamaha YZF-R15. What is even more interesting is that there are certain differences that are clearly visible in the blurry spy shot itself.

At the front, we can see the Upside-down forks and the tail section is similar to YZF-R125, Yamaha’s 125cc sportbike sold in Europe.

No other details are known at this point of time; however, it is speculated that Yamaha might be in the process of upgrading the R15 while also coming out with the naked version (which is pretty clear from the spy pic).

Hopefully, Yamaha will do both as the chassis is quite capable of handling a more powerful engine and with USD forks at the front it will not only give a beefier look but also provide better performance especially on a racing track.
