Other than this, there is a affixation of Yamalube logo on the side fairing.

Behind the fairing, the R15 V3 MotoGP edition will continue with the powertrain of the regular model. The 155cc, single-cylinder engine is rated to churn out 18.7bhp and 15Nm of torque. The engine comes mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slipper and assist clutch. The presence of variable valve actuation (VVA) technology offers outstanding performance throughout the rev range.

It is a special edition model so it is highly expected to be produced in limit counts. While for the pricing, we can see a premium price tag over the standard bike that is available on sale at INR 1.26 lakhs. The Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 MotoGP edition is likely to hit Indian market in coming weeks.
