Yamaha R15 Ver 3, uses the new R-Style design policy. It looks much closer to their flagship model R1 and another close companion R6. This new model has received numerous upgrades on the exterior and mechanical sides. Yamaha has given a new bodywork that includes many frames and sharp edges inspired by the R6 body kit. The new Delta box frame work alone makes this bike bigger than its previous model.
