The Yamaha R15 does not fail to amuse us. Now some one has made an official fan page of the upcoming new R15 and has uploaded a picture which makes us believe he has some clue of when the new R15 will be hitting our shores. The picture of the rear, showcases the wider rear tyre, exhaust, rear disc brake and saree guard. The exhaust has a R15 badge on it, which puts to an end the speculation of the new Yamaha R15 being a R17 or an R25. Yamaha will almost certainly retain the pricing of the old R15 with the launch of the new R15 and price hike, if any should not exceed Rs. 10,000/-
The new Yamaha R15 is all set to be launched in September, according to the above facebook page. The new Yamaha R15 is expected to get a slight bump in power out and will feature revised design as well. The front looks more like an R6, while the rear looks like a carbon copy of the R6. The split seats and 10-spoke alloy wheels look really cool while the engine gets the all black treatment. All those waiting for the new R15, the wait is just about to end!
Edit – Another picture has been added, which showcases the new wider front tyre. The front brakes have been switches to Bybre from the Nissin on the old model.
Edit – More pictures added which show the rear profile and rear tyre. The pictures were taken at the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore during the ad shoot of the bike.
