Yamaha YZF-R15 now available in Malaysia – RM11,988
The third-generation Yamaha R15 comes with an interesting 155cc single-cylinder SOHC engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) which is able to produce around 19hp @ 10,000rpm and 14.7Nm torque @ 8,500rpm. With a six-speed manual gearbox.
To ensure that the rideability is smooth as butter, the 2018 Yamaha YZF-R15 is further elevated with an assist and slipper clutch which allows for easier roll-off from standstill and a more controlled stopping performance when going down through the gears for this 137kg sports bike.
Other impressive features include: Upside-down front forks Updated Deltabox chassis Aluminium swingarm All-round LED lights Fully-digital speedometer Updated body panels Digital instrument panel with rev limiter or shift light Front 282mm disc brake Rear 240mm disc brake 11-litre fuel tank
ktm launch duke 2018 almost go unnoticed... lol.. until today.. cos most went to cover r15 @ pg or aos ninja250..??
in 2014 ckd duke 200 non abs was 15888..
ktm msia is realising sales not very good?
now ppl go for pulsar oledi...
According to my colleague who's riding a non-ABS Duke 200, his bike is now worthless especially after the ABS version was launched. Very poor resale value I'm afraid.
"........Slipper clutch deltabox frame dgn vva system..mana nak dapat weii 250cc pun pakai tube frame ja. Delta box frame ni kukuh sikit time layan koner. Tambah dgn slipper clutch memang sedap la drop gear pakai pulak power shifter..ni untuk yg kurang berkemampuan ja.. cuba tengok race 250cc sapa yg lead sekarang? Honda kan? Tengok dia punya suspension depan. Tu kelebihan usd fork, boleh lanyak koner kaw-kaw dgn late brake. Nak power pakai ja big bore 62-65mm.. dah sedap dah 160-180 kmj gps. Ok la tu dgn bujet murah dari 250cc dah boleh layan mcm superbike. Tankpun 13 liter puas hati kot? Moto ni sesuai tuk gaji rm 1000 kebawah . 19hp standard..kalau tune ecu tu balik ka atau tukar high perfomance dah power dah. Bujet mody macm y15 ja dah dapat 20-30hp. Modal tak sampai 5000 ringgit dah dapat power macm r25 yg harga 20 ribu ringgit...."
