At Auto Expo 2018, Yamaha launched its much-awaited R15 V3.0 in India for Rs 1.25 lakh (ex-showroom) and we got a chance to ride the new R15 V3.0 at the Madras Motor Race Track in Chennai. The first ride review of the bike will be out soon, in the meantime here are few images from the Yamaha R15 V3.0 test ride. The bike was already available in the international market and to keep the costs low in India, the bike uses regular telescopic front forks instead of the costlier upside down units on the foreign version. The same is the case with the tyres, which are cheaper MRF Zappers. The aluminium pillion footpeg assembly is also replaced with steel ones on the Indian model.
