Yamaha India to Export Yamaha R15 V2.0 to Australia

Yamaha India's flagship bike, the new Yamaha YZF-R15 V2.0 will be exported to the Australian market. The bike has been extensively revamped for the Australian market and is ready to ride. With an 149.8cc liquid-cooled engine , the bike is being capable to cruise at 120 km/h. Yamaha revamped this bike in such a way that the new diminutive YZF R15 has been brought quite close to the big racing machines like Yamaha R1. The bikes engine ins the key element and its racing character is not limited to the looks. Underneath the nice, restyled bodywork the 2013 Yamaha YZF-R15 has got a 150cc, single cylinder, four stroke engine that delivers a peak power of 17bhp at 8,500rpm while peak torque is rated at 15Nm delivered at 7,500rpm.

The Yamaha R15 Version 2.0 also featured a remapped ECU that improves low end and mid range torque delivery that makes the motorcycle much better to ride. The forged piston and DiASil cylinder offer race-specced performance and low weight, while boasting better heat dissipation, less friction and increased wear resistance. Together with the updated ECU, the YZF-R15 offers a better ride with less emissions.

The new Yamaha YZF-R15 comes with wider tires and new rims, an updated cast aluminium swingarm and revised rear shock, R-series lights and twin seat. A new silencer has been loaded and the brakes now boast 220mm rotors, while the Deltabox frame has also received tweaking for better steering. No word on bringing this nifty new bike to the US and Europe so far, but the Australian riders can get it for 3,999 AUD which means Rs. 2.25 lakh.
