Yamaha’s YZR-R15 version 4.0 zooms in to town
The Hindu
Arguably the best looking of all versions so far, the new R15’s displays top-end performance on the open road with its free-revving engine, 6-speed gearbox and optional up-only quickshifter
YZF-R15 has been popular ever since it launched in India and is loved for its accessible, sporty performance that does not require breaking the bank.
The same can be said of the new R15 which looks better than its pictures suggest. As has been the case with the R15s of yore, version 4.0 takes its design cues from a bigger Yamaha R-series motorcycle — it is a copy of the 2021 YZF-R7.
The front end looks sharp and aggressive with the bi-functional LED projector headlight sitting inside the faux air intake. The LED position lights that flank the headlamp appear like a set of mean eyes, whilst lending it a contemporary look.
