The numbers are considerably higher than the last generation model, not just in terms of maximum output but, also the rpm at which the output is received. The engine is liquid cooled and fuel injected, further using a refined 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch for maximum action.

Yamaha R15 V3 is available in Thunder Grey and Racing Blue shade, out of which, the latter serves as the base shade for MotoGP variant. The all-digital console is the most advanced screen among all locally produced Yamaha products. It even comes with added goodies like LED headlight and tail light.
