The looks of the bike can be summed up in one word as ‘muscular’. While the YZF R15 poses a stylish and sporty outlook, FZ15 presents itself like a hunk. Like the R15, it has a mono suspension and a liquid cooled engine. Yamaha is trying to grab a bigger market share by diluting the Indonesian 2 wheel market with too many models.
