India Yamaha Motor on Monday launched the BS-VI compliant YZF-R15 Version 3.0 motorcycle model with prices starting at Rs 1.45 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). This is Rs 4,420 more expensive than the BS-IV variant.
The 155cc bike will be available across all company dealerships in India from the third week of December 2019.

The new motorcycle has features such as side stand engine cut-off switch, dual horn, and radial tubeless tyres at the rear wheel. It has been launched in three colour variants: black, blue, and grey.
The bikes will be available in three colour options that are priced between Rs 1.45 lakh and Rs 1.47 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
The new 155-cc engine takes the weight of the bike to 142 kilograms and also drops the power by 1 bhp which stands now at 18 bhp. The new Yamaha R15 offers 14.1 Nm of torque at 8,500 rpm.
