Yamaha R15 Version 2.0 updated with new colour options

With an intention to make the R15 Version 2.0 more visually appealing, India Yamaha Motor has introduced four new colour options for the motorcycle. The R15 will be available in new shades of Invincible Black, Raring Red, Grid Gold and Racing Blue. Yamaha has priced the Invincible Black and Raring Red colour options at Rs 1,10,003 (ex-showroom Delhi). Whereas the Grid Gold and Racing Blue have been priced at a slight premium and will retail at Rs 1,12,924 (ex-showroom Delhi).

Commenting on the new colour options, Roy Kurian, Vice President – Sales and Marketing, Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt. Ltd said, “The racing DNA, sporty look and superior technology have been synonymous with the R15 which was graded up to R15 Ver 2.0 in 2011. A lot of thought and hard-work had gone into the conceptualization of the R15 and it has been a huge success for the company. As we launch the R15 Ver 2.0 in 4 new avatars, we are again very confident that this new introduction will help to keep the customer excitement intact in our flagship motorcycle.”

Yamaha has only updated the R15 Version 2.0 cosmetically and there has been no changes made on the mechanical front. It is powered by the same 149.8cc, liquid-cooled mill producing 17PS at 8,500rpm and 15.5Nm at 7,500rpm. With these snazzy new colours, Yamaha hopes to attract the youngsters aged between 18 t0 24 years as according to the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer most of its target audience falls in this age bracket.  This seems to be a last effort by Yamaha to boost the sales of the R15 Version 2.0 before it plans to launch a facelift next month.  Also Read: New Yamaha R15 launch soon
