This one bike is very sexy and has been in the thought of many Malaysian riders including me. The tech specs shows that this bike is still producing 17ps which means that there is no changes in the engine type. Most of the updates are about cosmetic changes that really makes this bike much more desirable. I can see that the rear tail light has been designed from the inspiration from its bigger brother the YZF-R6. It gives the bike sharper look and more aerodynamic. Also, this makes it easy to change the tail section to become fenderless.
YZF-R15 V2.0 comes in three exciting colours that is Sunset Red, the ever popular Racing Blue and the all mysterious Midnight Black. My personal favourite is the Sunset Red. It shows great combination of red and white colours to show the bike great looks.

The R15 version 2.0 has undergone changes in the specs of the Engine Control unit (ECU), drivetrain unit, a long aluminum swing arm, wider front and rear tires (radial tire for the rear), split seat, LED taillights and new-design middle cowl & tail cowl to experience the leaner and meaner performance.
