Launched in conjunction with the Yamaha Gen Blu Carnival in Batu Kawan, Penang, is the 2018 Yamaha YZF R15, priced at RM11,988, with zero-rated GST and pending final government approval. The YZF R15 – paultan.org published some spyshots – is a brand new model option for Hong Leong Yamaha Motor Malaysia in the sub-250 cc sports bike category.
The 155 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine comes with four-valves and variable valve actuation (VVA). The power plant is claimed to produce 19 PS at 10,000 rpm and 14.7 Nm of torque at 8,500 rpm.
Power gets to the ground via a six-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch and chain final drive. The engine is housed in a Deltabox chassis with aluminium swing arm.
Front suspension is with non-adjustable upside-down forks and pre-load only adjustable monoshock at the back. Braking is done with a single hydraulic 282 mm diameter disc in front clamped by a two-piston calliper with a 220 mm diameter disc with single-piston calliper at the back.
Lighting is brought up-to-date with LED headlights and tailight, complemented with hazard lights, a new feature in the YZF R15’s class. Inside the cockpit is a fully digital LCD panel which includes shift lights.
There are three colour options for the 2018 Yamaha YZF R15 – Blue, Black and Yellow – with a one year or 10,000 km warranty, whichever comes first. Availability of the YZF R15 at authorised Hong Leong Yamaha dealers is at the end of August.

19PS from 155cc? Really?
a little more than 20 years ago, Yamaha launched the fabulous TZM150. price was slightly over 10k. it was loaded with technology and features, many a first for CKD Yamaha like 150cc engine, YPVS, liquid cooled, all disc brakes, large alloy wheels and deltabox. powerful too.
this R15 can be sell for about the same figure. some ppl say that 10k in 1995 is equivalent of 15k in today’s money but look at honda EX5 of yesteryears and today. the difference can be several hundred RM but now this bike has 110cc engine (versus 100cc), electric starter and also EFi!
for bikes below 150cc, the road tax is free. just pay RM2 to print.
this bikes is 155cc. so not entitled, but a bike for 12k.. they can afford the road tax of less than rm50. definitely.
but at 12k, they also have a wide variety of used car choices. like 2010 proton gen2 CPS, or Suzuki Alto. not very old and still nice if can find a well taken care of units.
hmm…end of august?.the price will be different in september.
Boon siew honda cannot bring in cbr250rr. Thus, all potential customer will grab this yamaha R15. At least got upside down forks.
Coz 250rr very fast.jpj not approve.
Hong Leong Yamaha = Rubbish service centre and very rude manner staff. Who want to buy this anymore will regret later!!
Now waiting from boon siew..or never happen
Wow such a beautiful bike will get it soon after it arrives at Yamaha dealer shops
The way Yamaha choose to spec out their bikes really puzzles me.
Yamaha YZF-R15 (155cc)
Power: 19 hp
Front suspension: USD fork
Swingarm: aluminum
Clutch: assist & slipper clutch
Headlamp: LED
Shift light: yes
Price: RM12k
Yamaha MT-07 (689cc)
Power: 74 hp
Front suspension: conventional fork (terrible)
Swingarm: steel plate
Clutch: conventional clutch (very heavy)
Headlamp: halogen reflector
Shift light: none
Price: RM37k
The MT-07 really should have been given all the goodies found in the cheaper R15 too.
Good price for such a powerful bike. Sure to sell well!
the rear is ugly like hell. not garang enough.
just wondering, which will you guys choose. this Yamaha YZF-R15 or modenas Rs200
yamaha la brader, barulah ada gaya
If this R15 have ABS single channel like RS did.. sure R15 tapau all 150cc..
There’s a few videos on this comparison between yamaha R15 and Pulsar 200 at YTube. However, they’re for Indian market. At least, you have some idea.
Nice, very nice Yamaha, now, gotta buy the UMA Racing 195cc big bore cylinder kit for maximum oooooommph!!!
Any ideas how much is the possible OTR prices? If i wish to get loan how much is the down-payment?
1-year warranty? Seriously?
Does it have ABS
Saw one in Surat Thani yesterday. Looks sharp and fast.
Indon CB150 around RM5,500(conversion), Indian R15 around RM 7+k(conversion), why Malaysian R15 almost double up to below 12k. Are malaysians suckers for high priced or izzit just tax/profit too high???
y suku ke r suku… bincangkan
Kesian, Tiada ABS…Same model at India, came with ABS.
