Barely a few days back, a leak suggested that Yamaha may be considering bringing the R15 V3 back in the market and here we have the official press note landing in our mailboxes moments back.
Dubbed as the R15S Yamaha has brought back the R15 V3 in the market. The only noticeable change that the company has informed is about its unibody seat. This is a similar strategy that the company adopted with the older R15 as well.
Motofumi Shitara, Chairman at Yamaha Motor India, said that their reserach showed that there are customers who want relatively comfortable pillion seats and this model is specifically targeted at them.
More aptly, Yamaha want to offer a more affordable entry point in the R15 range that has seen a dramatic increment with the launch of the V4.
