The motorcycle that is about to launch in India looks a lot like its international counterpart. That said, the India-spec V3 is more of a facelift than an all-new model (like the one on sale abroad). The India-spec Yamaha R15 V3 is based on the V2 but comes with many new body panels and a new engine. It also comes with many new features to enhance the attractiveness of the company’s popular 150cc full-fairing motorcycle.
