Malaysia-spec Yamaha R15 gets new colour options
Key Highlights
- Malaysia-spec R15 available in Racing Blue and Matte Black colour options
- Malaysia-spec R15 is more powerful than India-spec model
- Yamaha R15 sold in Malaysia uses inverted forks
Yamaha R15 is an extremely popular motorcycle not just in India but in other South-East Asian countries as well, including Malaysia, where the bike has been recently updated with new liveries. What's interesting is that the new colour options on Malaysia-spec R15 are quite similar to the ones retailed in India. Yamaha R15 V3.0 in Malaysia is now available in Racing Blue and Matte Black colour options. The Racing Blue paint scheme is quite similar to the one available on the model sold here in India except for a couple of differences. Malaysia-spec Yamaha R15 Matte Black colour is similar to India-spec R15's Dark Knight paint scheme except for different body graphics and glossy black paint on the model sold here.
The biggest visual difference between the Malaysia-spec Yamaha R15 and the one sold in India is that the former gets gold anodized inverted forks as compared to the latter's black telescopic forks. This is a significant difference as it not only makes the Malaysian model seem sportier but is also a more sophisticated setup and offers better handling with superior ride quality. The Malaysia-spec Yamaha R15, just like the India-spec model, uses a fully digital LCD instrument console that displays all the readouts like speed, tachometer, clock, odometer, trip meter, gear-shift indicator, ABS light, etc.
Yamaha R15 fully-faired bike sold in Malaysia uses a 155 cc, single-cylinder engine that makes 19 bhp and 15 Nm of peak torque, making it slightly more powerful than the India-spec model that makes 18 bhp and 14 Nm of peak torque. This engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox with Assist and Slipper clutch.
