He most prominent design changes are at the rear. When the R15 was launched, the rear styling was bland and conventional compared to the front. With the 2.0, that’s been sorted, with a sharper looking rear inspired by the 2012 Yamaha YZF R6. Yamaha says the redesigned middle and rear cowl, split seats and integrated LED taillights have not only enhanced visual appeal, they also reduce drag by four per cent.
If you’re still looking for some extra juice, Yamaha has Daytona kits specially developed for the R15. Also on display were kits by Yoshimura, an option to the Daytonas. No prices announced for the kits yet, but we reckon the cheaper of the two, the Daytona, will set you back by Rs 60, 000. Both the Yoshimura and the Daytona are for track use only.
The Yamaha YZF R15 2.0 will cost Rs 1.18 lakh(on-road, Mumbai), which is around Rs 10, 000 more than the outgoing model.
