Yamaha has finally launched the new R15 Version 3.0 in India to the delight of two-wheeler enthusiasts. The 2018 Yamaha R15 Version 3.0 has been priced at Rs 1.25 lakh, which makes it about Rs 8,000 more expensive than its predecessor. Yamaha has been testing the new R15 in India for the past few months and there have been many spy shots of the motorcycle on the internet too.
There is one big difference between the India-spec R15 Version 3.0 and the international model and that is the missing USD forks, done to keep costs under check. How much have the telescopic forks altered the handling dynamics of the new motorcycle is something that we can only tell once we get our hands on the bike for a road test. It will compete against the Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 and the KTM RC 200 in our two-wheeler market.
