Looks and Design

If you are not a bike enthusiast but still have some interest in bikes even then you will Yamaha YZF R15. And if you happen to be a person who is little aware about bikes around the world then you sure know that we have a DNA of Yamaha YZF- R1 on Indian roads. The bike is directly derived.. rather say inspired from R1. Just to add here, Yamaha YZF R1 is globally acclaimed Yamaha bike and has a fair respect around the world. So Yamaha, by introducing / developing a bike derived from R1 is like giving Indians what they want. Indian bike market is still in initial stage. So giving R15 is like giving taste of international standards and styling to Indians but on the cost which is in their reach. When I say that design is inspired from R1 then there is really nothing much left to say as we know about the success and design of R1 very well, however, in layman's language, bike has stunning looks. Company says that they have a "R" characteristic in their design which is adopted in R15 too.
