The most successfull bike by yamaha The R15. It gets it new look. Though its just some news in the air, but I managed to get some information and some snaps of the NEW R15. I personaaly am super excited for this bike. As i currently own a R15 and am anxious to know what all changes yamaha has managed for the new R15.
The rear fender eliminator is Killer. But i also must say that the tyre hugger is equally disastrous.
The front is more sharp when compared to the older version.

New Yamaha R15 has all the characteristics of motorcycles which designed by Yamaha to represent the R series which reflects the philosophy running through these models, expressing performance visually. For example, Yamaha YZF-R6 shows a strong body line that springs up in a single line from the rear axle to the pivot and then to the head pipe. This is a visual expression of the straight shape of the Deltabox frame.
These elements are a visual expression of “frame rigidity.” Viewed from the side, the shape of New Yamaha R15 created by the side panel and the upper surface of the tank creates an impression of the center of gravity shifting to the front tire.
