Yamaha’s new YZF R15-S shows up in Nepal

The all new Yamaha YZF R15-S has finally arrived in Nepal at NR 3.34 lakh (Rs.2.09 lakh). The launch rumours of YZF R15-S were under the notice of everyone earlier this month when its first picture got public. As confirmed by reports, Yamaha is all set to re-introduce its successful 150cc bike this festive season.

If sources are to be believed, the machine would carry the mechanism of R15 version 2.0, yet its body resembles the first-generation model, which was on the streets from 2008 to 2011. With the launch in Nepal, it is confirmed that Yamaha YZF R15-S is definitely in the pipeline and soon will be available in India as well. The high mounted rear seat of the version 2.0 were  unattainable and were considered a limitation of the vehicle, which now have been brought back to single bench type seat for pillion comfort.
