Yamaha R15 Range Gets Dearer

Thankfully, the price hike isn’t hefty enough to affect the buyer’s decision. The Yamaha R15 M, in particular, is still a lot more affordable than the KTM RC 200, which retails Rs 2,08,717 (ex-showroom Delhi). Even the entry-level Yamaha R15 S V3 is a whole Rs 22,833 less expensive than its closest rival, the smaller-engined KTM RC 125. Clearly, Yamaha still has the price advantage. Moreover, there aren’t any other bikes in this segment, so Yamaha can still enjoy the monopoly.
