Yamaha R15M Overview
Design
The design of R15M is inspired by the new Yamaha R7, which made its global premiere in May of this year. The greatest change is that the 155 cc models are now in accordance with the brand's R-DNA. Notable changes include a new single bifunctional Class-D LED headlamp with DRLs on both sides. The new 3D Logo on the fuel tank gives a high-end look to the bike. Similarly, the anodized blue fork caps, bodywork, and carbon-like seat cover are other new design elements.
It now has a highly aerodynamic fairing, making it the sportiest track racing bike on the market. Furthermore, the R15M is available with two different color schemes: Metallic Grey and Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Edition.
