To commemorate its involvement in the MotoGP world championship with the Movistar Yamaha team and riders Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, Hong Leong Yamaha Malaysia has released the 2016 Yamaha Y15ZR MotoGP Edition at RM8,634.76. Dubbed “the king of the streets”, the Y15ZR is a supercub that carries a single-cylinder fuel-injected engine.
Displacing 150 cc, the engine’s power output is claimed to be 15.1 hp at 8,500 rpm, while torque is rated at 13.8 Nm at 7,000 rpm. Power gets to the ground via a five-speed gearbox and chain final drive.
Hydraulic discs handle braking duties front and rear, grabbed by single-piston calipers. A telescopic fork holds up the front end and a pre-load adjustable monoshock keeps the rear end upright.
Aside from the MotoGP Edition, the 2016 Yamaha Y15ZR also comes in three other colour options – grey, which was released recently, as well as red and blue.
With the 2016 Yamaha Y15ZR MotoGP edition retailing for RM8,634.76, the base Y15ZR goes for RM8,210, with all prices including GST. The Y15ZR’s closest rival is the Honda RS150R, which retails from a base price of RM8,213.94, including GST.

I’m looking at the prices and wonder that its not far from a proper naked 250cc thumper, especially when they go on promo.
Honda 150 cc, vs, yamaha 150 cc. Which one?? This gp edition is only cosmetic?? The lowest 250cc price is binelli. That’s rm13,000++??
judging by the street and those people from the shop, yamaha is winning the super moped category. the honda rs150r just doesn’t look as good with that weird signal light. so ya, cosmetic sometimes win sales.
the cheapest is not bennelli, is Naza. the street price could go as low as this yamaha moped.
kapcai is getting pricier..what’s going on?? RM perhaps?
Nope. Too much branding stickers and the licensing cost that comes with it.
Syukur….kapchai price now is almost 10K.
Better use the money to buy a cheapo car….can bring family jalan jalan and have cargo space. No worries when rain
Can’t stop inflation as surely as we can’t turn back time I guess. Still as was commented above, at that price one would be hard-pressed not to start considering a decent second-hand car or a proper sportsbike.
Motor yg menjadikan idaman semua remaja lelaki Malaysia . Bila lalu , awek pun cair sampai buang spenda dlm tong dram dan di simen2 .
remove all the plastic fairing, the motorbike size will become one-third or the ori size….
