KUALA LUMPUR: Hong Leong Yamaha Motor Malaysia has launched the 155cc YZF R15 in the country that was earlier spotted parked in an undisclosed location. The launch ceremony occurred in conjunction with the Yamaha Gen Blu Carnival taking place in Batu Kawan, Penang.

Yamaha YZF R15, the latest to the lineup of Yamaha Motor Malaysia, is powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with variable valve actuation (VVA) that comes mated to a 6-speed transmission. The powertrain is capable of churning out a max power of 19PS at 10,000 rpm and a peak torque of 14.7Nm at 8,500rpm. The transmission, on the other hand, comes with a slipper clutch and assist and chain final drive.

The new YZF R15 uses a Deltabox chassis that comes with an aluminium swingarm. To get you through rough road patches with ease, the bike gets non-adjustable USD fork at the front and monoshock suspension unit with adjustable preload at the rear. The braking is taken care of by a 282mm single hydraulic disc mounted by a two-piston calliper at the front and a 220mm single-piston calliper rear disc brake.

Designwise, the YZF R15 gets stylish LED headlamps, LED tail lights, new hazard lights and sharp character lines and edges all over the body. The instrument cluster comes equipped with a fully digital LCD display which also gets shift lights. The bike is offered in three different colour shades, Yellow, Blue and Black.

Priced at RM11,988, the 2018 Yamaha YZF R15 comes with a one year or 10,000km warranty, whichever reached first. The bike will be available at the authorized Yamaha Malaysian dealers by the end of August.
