Japanese motor bike company planning to launch new version of Yamaha R15 as Yamaha R15 V3 version and according to the sources it should be released in next month of April 2014. There are also leaked pictures of the new bike that are going viral on internet.
If we look at the design than there is no major changes except change in the colour option (Grey colour) and body graphics with also a special edition which is in black and gold livery and apart from these, there is no major change. According to the company officials, facelift is not about the looks but about the engine configurations and its improved figures.
The Engine control unit (that is ECU) is the major change in the V3 version which will produce good and powerful torque. The engine displacement might be same to its predecessor which is between 150 to 200 cc. The improved ECU will provide 18 PS of power which is 1 PS more than the current version and 15 Nm of torque.
It has single cylinder, liquid cooled and four stroke engine as continues from its current version. It also includes Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) for efficient braking. The price of the bike is not yet revealed by the company but it is expected that it is some-what similar to its current version’s price. Booking might be available to buyers at any moment by the company.
