EXCLUSIVE: Yamaha R15S V3 To Get New Colours Next Month

Currently, the “practical” variant of the supersport is only available in the Racing Blue paint scheme

Yamaha could launch the YZF-R15S V3 in two new colours next month: Red and Dark Knight. We already know that the Japanese bikemaker will be hosting a dealer event on April 11, so it is likely that the bike will be unveiled then.

Currently, the bike is available only in the Racing Blue colour and is priced at Rs 1.58 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). And if the prices of the standard R15 V3 are anything to go by, the Metallic Red colour would be cheaper than the blue, while the black would be the priciest of the lot.

The Yamaha R15S V3 is unlikely to sport any mechanical changes and will continue with the VVA-equipped 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-valve engine, making 18.6PS at 10,000rpm and 14.1Nm at 8,500rpm.

Yamaha’s “practical” supersport locks horns with the less sophisticated Suzuki Gixxer SF, which is priced at Rs 1.33 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
