The Yamaha YZF-R15 is a formidable bike in its own right.Derived from the already legendary YZF-R1 this super sports bike from Yamaha is made for those who always desired to experience the thrill of a racetrack. Being the first commercial bike to be equipped with a liquid cooled 4-valve engine, it also shares many firsts to its credit. It has a high performance DiASil Cylinder made exclusively for high-end Yamaha bikes. Made from Yamaha's world-class aluminium die casting technology, this cylinder ensures excellent heat dissipation and eliminates other heat-induced difficulties. The bike's front cowl not only encloses the engine but also controls the airflow actively. R1's front is equipped with multi reflecting sharp dual headlights that provide that stylish edge to its design. Having come from the stylish R1's gene pool, R15 shares a hybrid design that combines the world-class design of the 'R' series with localised functions. This bike embodies a perfect balance of features that makes a super sports bike. It will be available solely through Morang Auto Works and will be sold in two colours, racing blue and black.
