The Asian market is home to some very unique motorcycles that the western world has never seen. Designed for maximum utility and practicality, underbone motorcycles, as they’re called, rule the streets of the majority of Asian cities alongside scooters and small-displacement commuter motorcycles. Nearly all major motorbike brands in Asia have their own iteration of the underbone motorbike, with Yamaha’s Y15ZR being very popular in Malaysia.
To add some spice to this popular commuter, Yamaha has just released a new Special Edition version of the Y15ZR exclusive to the Malaysian market. Hong Leong Yamaha Motor, the Malaysian arm of the Japanese brand, bestows the limited edition bike with a striking colorway and upgraded bodywork to set it apart from the standard model. Diving into the specifics, the Y15ZR Special Edition is sold in a dark blue colorway with black and red accents further adding to the bike’s sporty appeal. The bike’s bodywork is also slightly different, featuring a more aerodynamic lower fairing for a sportier aesthetic.
