Ever wondered how the Yamaha R15 might appear if it decided to shed weight overnight? The R15 VENOM, a custom-built street bike with few parts and track-only status, is the closest contender. It is now more slanted toward the concept design language. The R15 VENOM is unsuitable for usage on public roads due to the deletion of the factory headlight and performance-enhancing exhaust. The same frame, seats, and fuel tank are the only plastic components left on VENOM; all other plastic components that were once installed around the body for efficient aerodynamic performance are gone. Right now, it resembles a drag racing machine more.
To make the R15 VENOM as light as possible, the front and back fenders were also taken off. The front and back ends are painted differently, and the stock alloy wheels are visible. Knuckle guards were added to match the flat front fascia with a white stripe running through it, and the exhaust pipe is totally insulated with heat-resistant tape. The radiator is completely visible and unprotected, with the exception of a fog light that is mounted to the right side of the frame. The R15 VENOM is based on the second generation model, which is distinguished by its unusually high back seat height. (Diazepam)
The R15 VENOM has stock disc brakes on both ends and is equipped with tyres with a lot of tread. The front brake on the V3 is larger, measuring 282mm, as opposed to the 267mm brake on this motorcycle. A 149cc, single-cylinder engine that can generate a maximum of 17 PS and 15 Nm of torque is standard on the Yamaha R15 V2. Both the V3 and V2 versions’ values for torque stay almost the same, however the R15 V3’s power increase is very noticeable (19.3 PS). The addition of features like LED lights and a slipper clutch again justifies the price difference between the two models (during the time that V2 was offered).
