Yamaha YZF R15 Gets Two New Colours
To celebrate Holi, the festival of colours, Yamaha India has introduced two new shades on its popular bike - the YZF-R15 2.0. With these new colours - GP blue and streaking cyan - the YZF-R15 is now available in a total of six colours.
Save for the new colour schemes, the bike remains unchanged. It continues to derive its power from the same 150cc, single-cylinder engine that is good for 16.7bhp and 15Nm. The company is also working on the new model of the bike, 2015 YZF-R15 3.0, which, we believe, will arrive in India by mid-2015.
"Yamaha R15 is a pure sports vehicle designed especially for racing enthusiasts so that they can experience the power and passion that a sports bike has to offer. The racing DNA, sporty look and superior technology have been synonymous with the R15. While, the core concept of R15 remains the same, with these new colours we strive to continuously interact and excite our target audiences. As we launch the R15 Ver 2.0 in 2 new avatars, we are again very confident that this new introduction will help to keep our target audiences absolutely delighted," said Roy Kurian, vice-president, sales & marketing, Yamaha Motor India Sales.
Other than the 2015 YZF-R15 3.0, Yamaha also is working on two new bikes for the Indian market, i.e. the YZF-R25 and 2015 YZF-R1.
