India Yamaha Motor has announced the launch of the 2021 Yamaha YZF-R15S V3.0 full faired motorcycle. As seen with the previous-gen models, R15 with the 'S' suffix comes with a unibody seat, compared to the regular variant that gets two-piece split seats. As indicated by the name, the new R15S is based on the Version 3.0 model, and it will be sold alongside the YZF-R15 V4 model in India. The motorcycle will only be available in the Racing Blue colour and is priced at Rs. 1,57,600 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

While the YZF-R15 V4 is being highly appreciated by customers across India, our research has shown that customers are also looking for a more viable option to commute with a pillion, without having to compromise on the Racing DNA of the R15. At Yamaha, we are always listening to what our customers' demand and make every possible attempt to meet those demands. Hence, the R15S V3 with a Unibody Seat was evident."
