The Yamaha RX15 is powered by YZF-R15 V2.0’s 149.0 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that offers 16.7 bhp of power and 15 Nm of peak torque. There are disc brakes on both ends. It features a black fuel tank (chrome Yamaha logos on either side) and black side panels with an RX15 tag. The wire-spoke wheels further enhance the retro look. For suspension, there are upside-down forks for shock absorption at the front. The rear features a mono-shock suspension. Autologue Design continues to create stylish production-spec motorcycles.
