[Update: Yamaha YZF-R15 Version 4.0, R15M Launched, Prices Start At Rs 1.68 Lakh]
Yamaha is all set to launch its updated R15 tomorrow. The faired bike is likely to be called the Yamaha R15M going by the homologation documents leaked last month. The motorcycle was also spied at a dealership event, giving us a clearer uncamouflaged look of the faired bike.
The Yamaha R15M comes with a redesigned fairing and fascia, and the latter looks quite similar to the new Yamaha R7, complete with the single LED projector headlamp. The fuel tank looks beefier, and might hold more fuel than the 11-litre unit in the current-gen Yamaha R15 V3. The fairing design looks cleaner, and the tail panels look slightly revised as well.

While the current-gen model churns out 18.6PS and 14.1Nm, the output figures of the R15M seems to be slightly different. You can know more about it in our detailed analysis here.
Another major update is that the motorcycle gets a premium-looking USD fork. The rest of the underpinnings such as the wheels, tyres, and brakes seem to have remained unchanged.
The Yamaha R15M is expected to command a premium of around Rs 6,000 - Rs 8,000 over the current-gen iteration, which retails at Rs 1,57,600. Once launched, it will go up against the smaller-engined, less-powerful KTM RC 125, priced at an eye-watering Rs 1,80,538 (both ex-showroom, Delhi).

- Pocket rocketThe only bike in the segment which provides you punchy power and aggressive position it may have some cons still who are above 5.5 height can ride this rocket comfortable. Personally I love riding sports bike and this is seriously a legendary one in the segment also from 200cc segment. I reached upto 153 of speed on a highway which is so much within a 155cc segment. End of the day its very sexy for enthusiasts who prioritise power over features. So good i mean its powerful but not that torquey its so light weight and too much powerful no braking issues for me personally and mileage i got is around 42 to 45 in city and around 50 on highways too good for college students but you get back pains and spine problems not suitable for long rides good for flicking in traffic. Yes i do, The things you have to consider while buying this is its power packed for a beginner its good for track not suitable for long rides and also you have to be confident while driving this when VVA kicks in you just fly.Read More3
- The best starting Sports BikeGreat bike overall. Fantastic control and road presence. Wish I had purchased this bike earlier. Crazy engine performance. Loved it. The bikes gear shift mechanism is very smooth. Easily touches 100+ speeds with full control. Great impactful headlights and maneuverability even on bumpy roads. Very easy to handle when compared to other similar bikes.Read More
