Yamaha R15 V4 Colours

The current R15, and the honest comparison with the V3 it replaced is not flattering on power alone: Yamaha quotes the V4 at 18.4 bhp and 14.2 Nm against the V3's 19.3 and 14.7, at a considerably higher price, with the same 142 kg kerb weight and the same 11 litre tank. The two spec sheets simply do not agree that the newer bike makes more power. What the V4 brings is newer equipment and revised bodywork. Yamaha states ABS on both.
