Yamaha R15M Overview
Design
The Yamaha R15 v4 takes deep inspiration from the iconic Yamaha R7.
The front section sports an all-new Bi-Functional LED Projector headlamp with unique LED DRLs. It is the same Class D unit already seen in the Yamaha MT 15.
Furthermore, the front profile feels slimmer than in R15 v3.
Yamaha has put more focus on improving aerodynamics. It is done so for better airflow management, which helps in better stability at higher speeds.
Similarly, this results in a sleeker tank profile. Moreover, it has also resulted in slightly different placement for the vents and Yamaha logo.
