Coming to the remarkable design, the Yamaha R15 V3 gets twin-eye LED headlights with air duct mounted between them to give it a beast look. The Yamaha R1-inspired look of the bike has made it land in the premium category with an affordable price range.

The sculpted fuel tank along with the up-swept exhaust and a nice fairing that keeps the engine exposed compliments its race-bike look. The overall extraordinary design demands attention on the road.
