  • Make riding posture better

    19 weeks ago


    Guruprasad Hegde

    Great motorcycle Amazing looks, top speed is crazy ~150 kmph
    The suspension is a little stiff.Mileage is 40+ Service is good.Very nimble
    Riding posture is very committed which makes the handling of the bike the best.
    If you want a comfortable riding posture. You can install handlebar risers on this motorcycle.
    JEM India makes the risers, particularly for this bike. And it is very good.

  • Yamaha R15 V4 Beast

    27 weeks ago


    Harish

    Last year I took Yamaha R15 V4, The R15 series has always been known for its sporty design and performance, and the V4 version takes it to a whole new level. Here's my comprehensive review of the bike.
    Design and appearance: the Yamaha R15 V4 boasts a sleek and aggressive design that catches the eye. The sharp lines and aerodynamic fairings give it a sporty look. The LED headlights and tail lights add a touch to the overall design. The bike's colour schemes are vibrant, making it stand out among its competitors.
    Performance: one of the amazing features of the R15 V4 is its performance. Powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled engine, it delivers an impressive power output and acceleration. The bike feels incredibly responsive and agile, making it a joy to ride, especially on curvy roads. The upgraded variable valve actuation (VVA) technology enhances the bike's performance, providing a smooth power delivery across the rpm range.
    Handling and ride quality: Yamaha has always been known for its exceptional handling, and the R15 V4 lives up to that reputation. The bike feels nimble and precise, allowing the rider to confidently manoeuvre through tight corners. The telescopic front suspension and mono-shock rear suspension provide a comfortable ride, absorbing most bumps and vibrations on the road. However, on uneven surfaces, the rear suspension can feel slightly stiff. Features and technology R15 V4 comes loaded with advanced features and technology. The fully digital instrument cluster provides all the necessary information at a glance, including speed, rpm, fuel level, and gear position. It also offers additional features such as a gear shift indicator, fuel efficiency indicator, and even Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with a smartphone. The inclusion of dual-channel abs ensures enhanced safety, especially during sudden braking.
    Comfort and ergonomics: while the R15 V4 is primarily designed as a sportbike, the seating position is relatively comfortable for a rider of average height. However, taller riders may find the rear-set footpegs and aggressive riding posture a bit cramped during long rides. The seat cushioning is adequate but could benefit from additional padding for improved long-distance comfort.
    Conclusion: Overall, the Yamaha R15 V4 is a commendable upgrade to an already impressive lineup. Its sporty design, exhilarating performance, and advanced features make it an attractive option for enthusiasts and young riders alike. While there are minor areas that could be improved, such as the rear suspension and seat comfort, the R15 V4 remains a fantastic choice for those seeking a thrilling riding experience.

  • This bike is not for you.

    1 year ago


    Nikhilesh G

    1. I bought it from perfect riders, which is an authorized Yamaha dealer. Their staff is good, but once you get your bike, they don't respond to you properly. So my buying experience is not good.
    2. The riding experience is good only for short rides; if you want to do a long road trip and the daily commute, this is not the right bike for you. The pillion seat is not at all comfortable. If you ride this bike for a long time, you'll end up with lower back and wrist pain. This bike is for performance, not to ride comfortably.
    On December 31, 2022, I went on a one-day trip with my sister on my brand-new yamaha r15 v4. In one day, I covered almost 290 to 300 kilometers. After coming back to my house, my lower back started to hurt, and my sister felt uncomfortable because of the seat height and because there was no handlebar to hold on to for support. And this is not a suitable bike to commute every day or for long highway runs.
    3. The best performance bike in the 155cc segment looks like the Yamaha r7.
    4. Compare to r15 v3, v4 service cost is a bit high even the spare parts price as well 
    5. Pros: best performance bike in the 155cc segment.
    Cons: the price is high for 155cc segment
    Committed riding position.
    The seat is not at all comfortable for the pillion.
    Service cost & spare cost is a bit high compared to r15 v3 & mt15.
    Not suitable for a road trips.

  • R15 - the best bike in India - power packed and feature loaded!

    1 year ago


    Bharath

    I was looking at a sporty/good-looking bike for daily use and occasional short trips without any budget or engine capacity filters. I considered kawasaki ninja 300, tvs apache rr310, suzuki gixxer sf 250, re meteor, re scram 411 and yamaha mt15 before narrowing down on the r15m motogp 60th anniversary edition. I personally like the looks of my bike (the white-red combination is amazing) the best among all the bikes considered. The handling, performance, mileage, and build quality are top notch and I doubt if there is another bike that delivers punchy performance with such an excellent mileage. Other than the aggressive ride posture, the absence of sturdy rear grab rails to assist while parking in constricted spaces is a con. While the r15 is well-known for delivering great performance even beating higher capacity rivals, the v4/m version has taken a step ahead by introducing best-in-segment features like Bluetooth connectivity, dual-channel abs, quick shifter, TCS, foldable mirrors etc, while also returning an impeccable 50-55kmpl mileage which is mind-boggling. How yamaha has achieved this is a mystery - but as a rider, I'm not complaining! the maintenance is reasonable as well and the after-sales service is good - try to make friendly connections with the service center for a better experience.
    Pro-tip - for the first 1000kms, ride the bike under 80-100 which will help refine the engine and, reap longevity, performance and mileage.

  • Performance is the best.

    2 years ago


    Ashif

    Say hello to the yamaha r15 v4. Unlike the last generation, yamaha hasn’t watered it down for India. Remember how we never got used like other markets did? that’s changed! we get the real deal! the bike also brings with it significant design changes and you could easily mistake it for the new r7. Along with that you also get segment-first features like a quick shifter and traction control and with that it has also become the most expensive r15 to date. There are also a bunch of variants to choose from — standard colour schemes where the quick shifter is optional, the racing blue colour scheme which we are reviewing that gets all the bells and whistles and the r15m and motogp edition colour ways, also fully-loaded.
    The r15 v4 is a gorgeous looking machine. It gets a redesigned front end and the bike now resembles the bigger r7 and for that, it gets a big thumbs up. The fairing design is more than just a cosmetic update. The bike is now more aerodynamic with a lower drag coefficient and it offers better wind protection too. In the flesh, the motorcycle looks imposing too! especially if you keep it next to the r15 v3. In the new fairing also sits a new bi-function led projector headlamp with new drls on either side, Reminiscent of the ones found on the r7 and r6. This new setup does a great job of illuminating the road ahead of you and i barely found the need to use high-beam.
    Start taking a few steps back and the bike starts to look familiar again. It has the same rear section as the r15 v3 and i’m not complaining. The design is cohesive and it works well together, though the pillion seat is still one floor high and your date won’t be particularly happy about that. Now the r15 v4 is available in a few colour schemes, namely metallic red, dark knight and this racing blue variant you see here. The racing blue variant costs around Rs 6000 more than the standard colour way and for that you also get the quick shifter which is standard on the r15m and moto gp editions. Yamaha has decided not to mess with the engine on the r15 and has stuck with the same 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that gets vva. It continues to make 18.1bhp although it does now make its peak torque of 14.1nm a 1000rpm earlier. Now in terms of performance, the engine is not one that will blow your mind with its acceleration or power delivery. But it definitely is involving to ride. The vva system works as advertised and helps in giving the bike a wider power band and that along with the peak torque being delivered slightly earlier makes the bike more forgiving to ride allowing you to carry a gear higher into a corner, while still getting a decent amount of drive out of a corner. The engine continues to be mated to a six-speed gearbox and gets the same slip and assist clutch ensuring a light and easy to operate clutch lever. Since this is the racing blue colour scheme, it gets a quick shifter as standard. It is optional on the standard colour schemes but comes as standard kit for the r15m and moto gp editions. The quick shifter is not a gimmick. It works above 2000rpm and 20kmph and is rather smooth when shifting higher up in the rev range. The shifts are however slightly clunky if done when the tacho needle is in the lower end of the range so you’ll be better off using the clutch for the slow speed shifts. Continuing with the theme of rider aids, the r15 v4 (all variants) get a traction control system as standard. Thankfully, the system is pretty non-intrusive and you can see the tc indicator light come on if you are a little extra generous with your throttle input on loose surfaces. You can also switch the system off altogether. But it is nice to see manufacturer's spec ‘entry-level’ bikes like the r15 with kit like this, something you’d otherwise only find on significantly higher-performance vehicles. The r15 v4 now gets usd forks. Something that was missing on the v3 despite it being standard equipment on the international variants of the same. Now, in theory, a usd setup is bound to work better because the setup is more rigid and less prone to flexing under load, considering the outer tubes are what the triple clap is mounted on. But how does it work? well, the bike is on the stiffer side to better go with the sporty intent of the bike. This stiffer setup paired with the delta box frame that we all know and love is something that you will really appreciate when you take the bike to a race track or to your favourite set of twistiness. The bike is quick with direction changes, planted when fully leaned over and knows how to hold a line. Now, despite the suspension setup being set up for sport application, the bike does a good job of soaking up bumps and potholes without sending shocks down your spine. Now, with the v4, yamaha has tried to make the bike a little easier to live with. First with the better wind protection and then the clip on s. They have been pushed out and made wider meaning that they are easier to reach and put less strain on your body. This also means that you need to put in less effort to tip the bike into a corner with the added leverage of wider bars. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying this is as comfortable as a naked bike, but it is just a touch easier to live with. One thing the bike would certainly benefit from however and this isn’t a costly upgrade either are tank grips. The redesigned tank is nice and roomy and will properly accommodate even taller riders. But the surface is extremely slippery and you can’t hold on to it with your knees for too long without it constantly sliding off. This is where the tank grips would come into play allowing you to better grip the tank and keep your upper body relatively relaxed. But then again this won’t be too expensive a fix what with so many aftermarket solutions available. Another chink in the r15 v4s armor would be its braking. The front brake seems to have decent initial bite and feedback but over the course of a few kilometers, you lose quite a bit of your braking performance thanks to brake fade and the feel at the lever starts to become rather spongy. Even the abs kicks in a little earlier than i would like. Now in terms of features, the bike comes with a new instrument cluster that displays more information and also gets a dedicated track mode that showcases things like a lap timer and a tachometer that starts at 6000rpm just like the flagship — the yamaha r1. The cluster is now also bluetooth enabled allowing you to pair your smartphone for notifications and such. The yamaha link app also shows your information like last parked location and bike health history which is nice but the bike does miss out on turn-by-turn navigation which is something yamaha could have added. Interestingly the buttons to toggle through the different readouts and to switch between street and track mode are mounted on the handlebar instead of on the cluster itself. Neat feature, this. Apart from this, the bike gets features like the quick shifter, traction control and the new led headlamp unit. But it still doesn’t get led indicators as standard. Which is definitely a miss. talking about price, the yamaha r15 v4 is a solid update that brings a lot of worthwhile upgrades to the table, bits like usd forks, a quick shifter, traction control and modern styling. All this for anywhere between rs 10-15 thousand more than the v3 depending on which variant you get (the racing blue r15 v4 costs rs 1.75 lakh ex-showroom). For all the extra goodies you get on the bike i feel that the premium yamaha is demanding for the v4 is justified. The bike also sits in a sweet spot between the ktm rc 125 and ktm rc 200. So in that sense, the yamaha r15 v4 is a great buy and still remains a great tool to hone your track riding skills, and one that is uncompromising on the performance front.

    Great motorcycle Amazing looks, top speed is crazy ~150 kmph
    The suspension is a little stiff.Mileage is 40+ Service is good.Very nimble
    Riding posture is very committed which makes the handling of the bike the best.
    If you want a comfortable riding posture. You can install handlebar risers on this motorcycle.
    JEM India makes the risers, particularly for this bike. And it is very good.

  • Yamaha R15 V4 Beast

    27 weeks ago


    Harish

    Last year I took Yamaha R15 V4, The R15 series has always been known for its sporty design and performance, and the V4 version takes it to a whole new level. Here's my comprehensive review of the bike.
    Design and appearance: the Yamaha R15 V4 boasts a sleek and aggressive design that catches the eye. The sharp lines and aerodynamic fairings give it a sporty look. The LED headlights and tail lights add a touch to the overall design. The bike's colour schemes are vibrant, making it stand out among its competitors.
    Performance: one of the amazing features of the R15 V4 is its performance. Powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled engine, it delivers an impressive power output and acceleration. The bike feels incredibly responsive and agile, making it a joy to ride, especially on curvy roads. The upgraded variable valve actuation (VVA) technology enhances the bike's performance, providing a smooth power delivery across the rpm range.
    Handling and ride quality: Yamaha has always been known for its exceptional handling, and the R15 V4 lives up to that reputation. The bike feels nimble and precise, allowing the rider to confidently manoeuvre through tight corners. The telescopic front suspension and mono-shock rear suspension provide a comfortable ride, absorbing most bumps and vibrations on the road. However, on uneven surfaces, the rear suspension can feel slightly stiff. Features and technology R15 V4 comes loaded with advanced features and technology. The fully digital instrument cluster provides all the necessary information at a glance, including speed, rpm, fuel level, and gear position. It also offers additional features such as a gear shift indicator, fuel efficiency indicator, and even Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with a smartphone. The inclusion of dual-channel abs ensures enhanced safety, especially during sudden braking.
    Comfort and ergonomics: while the R15 V4 is primarily designed as a sportbike, the seating position is relatively comfortable for a rider of average height. However, taller riders may find the rear-set footpegs and aggressive riding posture a bit cramped during long rides. The seat cushioning is adequate but could benefit from additional padding for improved long-distance comfort.
    Conclusion: Overall, the Yamaha R15 V4 is a commendable upgrade to an already impressive lineup. Its sporty design, exhilarating performance, and advanced features make it an attractive option for enthusiasts and young riders alike. While there are minor areas that could be improved, such as the rear suspension and seat comfort, the R15 V4 remains a fantastic choice for those seeking a thrilling riding experience.

  • This bike is not for you.

    1 year ago


    Nikhilesh G

    1. I bought it from perfect riders, which is an authorized Yamaha dealer. Their staff is good, but once you get your bike, they don't respond to you properly. So my buying experience is not good.
    2. The riding experience is good only for short rides; if you want to do a long road trip and the daily commute, this is not the right bike for you. The pillion seat is not at all comfortable. If you ride this bike for a long time, you'll end up with lower back and wrist pain. This bike is for performance, not to ride comfortably.
    On December 31, 2022, I went on a one-day trip with my sister on my brand-new yamaha r15 v4. In one day, I covered almost 290 to 300 kilometers. After coming back to my house, my lower back started to hurt, and my sister felt uncomfortable because of the seat height and because there was no handlebar to hold on to for support. And this is not a suitable bike to commute every day or for long highway runs.
    3. The best performance bike in the 155cc segment looks like the Yamaha r7.
    4. Compare to r15 v3, v4 service cost is a bit high even the spare parts price as well 
    5. Pros: best performance bike in the 155cc segment.
    Cons: the price is high for 155cc segment
    Committed riding position.
    The seat is not at all comfortable for the pillion.
    Service cost & spare cost is a bit high compared to r15 v3 & mt15.
    Not suitable for a road trips.

  • R15 - the best bike in India - power packed and feature loaded!

    1 year ago


    Bharath

    I was looking at a sporty/good-looking bike for daily use and occasional short trips without any budget or engine capacity filters. I considered kawasaki ninja 300, tvs apache rr310, suzuki gixxer sf 250, re meteor, re scram 411 and yamaha mt15 before narrowing down on the r15m motogp 60th anniversary edition. I personally like the looks of my bike (the white-red combination is amazing) the best among all the bikes considered. The handling, performance, mileage, and build quality are top notch and I doubt if there is another bike that delivers punchy performance with such an excellent mileage. Other than the aggressive ride posture, the absence of sturdy rear grab rails to assist while parking in constricted spaces is a con. While the r15 is well-known for delivering great performance even beating higher capacity rivals, the v4/m version has taken a step ahead by introducing best-in-segment features like Bluetooth connectivity, dual-channel abs, quick shifter, TCS, foldable mirrors etc, while also returning an impeccable 50-55kmpl mileage which is mind-boggling. How yamaha has achieved this is a mystery - but as a rider, I'm not complaining! the maintenance is reasonable as well and the after-sales service is good - try to make friendly connections with the service center for a better experience.
    Pro-tip - for the first 1000kms, ride the bike under 80-100 which will help refine the engine and, reap longevity, performance and mileage.

  • Performance is the best.

    2 years ago


    Ashif

    Say hello to the yamaha r15 v4. Unlike the last generation, yamaha hasn’t watered it down for India. Remember how we never got used like other markets did? that’s changed! we get the real deal! the bike also brings with it significant design changes and you could easily mistake it for the new r7. Along with that you also get segment-first features like a quick shifter and traction control and with that it has also become the most expensive r15 to date. There are also a bunch of variants to choose from — standard colour schemes where the quick shifter is optional, the racing blue colour scheme which we are reviewing that gets all the bells and whistles and the r15m and motogp edition colour ways, also fully-loaded.
    The r15 v4 is a gorgeous looking machine. It gets a redesigned front end and the bike now resembles the bigger r7 and for that, it gets a big thumbs up. The fairing design is more than just a cosmetic update. The bike is now more aerodynamic with a lower drag coefficient and it offers better wind protection too. In the flesh, the motorcycle looks imposing too! especially if you keep it next to the r15 v3. In the new fairing also sits a new bi-function led projector headlamp with new drls on either side, Reminiscent of the ones found on the r7 and r6. This new setup does a great job of illuminating the road ahead of you and i barely found the need to use high-beam.
    Start taking a few steps back and the bike starts to look familiar again. It has the same rear section as the r15 v3 and i’m not complaining. The design is cohesive and it works well together, though the pillion seat is still one floor high and your date won’t be particularly happy about that. Now the r15 v4 is available in a few colour schemes, namely metallic red, dark knight and this racing blue variant you see here. The racing blue variant costs around Rs 6000 more than the standard colour way and for that you also get the quick shifter which is standard on the r15m and moto gp editions. Yamaha has decided not to mess with the engine on the r15 and has stuck with the same 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that gets vva. It continues to make 18.1bhp although it does now make its peak torque of 14.1nm a 1000rpm earlier. Now in terms of performance, the engine is not one that will blow your mind with its acceleration or power delivery. But it definitely is involving to ride. The vva system works as advertised and helps in giving the bike a wider power band and that along with the peak torque being delivered slightly earlier makes the bike more forgiving to ride allowing you to carry a gear higher into a corner, while still getting a decent amount of drive out of a corner. The engine continues to be mated to a six-speed gearbox and gets the same slip and assist clutch ensuring a light and easy to operate clutch lever. Since this is the racing blue colour scheme, it gets a quick shifter as standard. It is optional on the standard colour schemes but comes as standard kit for the r15m and moto gp editions. The quick shifter is not a gimmick. It works above 2000rpm and 20kmph and is rather smooth when shifting higher up in the rev range. The shifts are however slightly clunky if done when the tacho needle is in the lower end of the range so you’ll be better off using the clutch for the slow speed shifts. Continuing with the theme of rider aids, the r15 v4 (all variants) get a traction control system as standard. Thankfully, the system is pretty non-intrusive and you can see the tc indicator light come on if you are a little extra generous with your throttle input on loose surfaces. You can also switch the system off altogether. But it is nice to see manufacturer's spec ‘entry-level’ bikes like the r15 with kit like this, something you’d otherwise only find on significantly higher-performance vehicles. The r15 v4 now gets usd forks. Something that was missing on the v3 despite it being standard equipment on the international variants of the same. Now, in theory, a usd setup is bound to work better because the setup is more rigid and less prone to flexing under load, considering the outer tubes are what the triple clap is mounted on. But how does it work? well, the bike is on the stiffer side to better go with the sporty intent of the bike. This stiffer setup paired with the delta box frame that we all know and love is something that you will really appreciate when you take the bike to a race track or to your favourite set of twistiness. The bike is quick with direction changes, planted when fully leaned over and knows how to hold a line. Now, despite the suspension setup being set up for sport application, the bike does a good job of soaking up bumps and potholes without sending shocks down your spine. Now, with the v4, yamaha has tried to make the bike a little easier to live with. First with the better wind protection and then the clip on s. They have been pushed out and made wider meaning that they are easier to reach and put less strain on your body. This also means that you need to put in less effort to tip the bike into a corner with the added leverage of wider bars. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying this is as comfortable as a naked bike, but it is just a touch easier to live with. One thing the bike would certainly benefit from however and this isn’t a costly upgrade either are tank grips. The redesigned tank is nice and roomy and will properly accommodate even taller riders. But the surface is extremely slippery and you can’t hold on to it with your knees for too long without it constantly sliding off. This is where the tank grips would come into play allowing you to better grip the tank and keep your upper body relatively relaxed. But then again this won’t be too expensive a fix what with so many aftermarket solutions available. Another chink in the r15 v4s armor would be its braking. The front brake seems to have decent initial bite and feedback but over the course of a few kilometers, you lose quite a bit of your braking performance thanks to brake fade and the feel at the lever starts to become rather spongy. Even the abs kicks in a little earlier than i would like. Now in terms of features, the bike comes with a new instrument cluster that displays more information and also gets a dedicated track mode that showcases things like a lap timer and a tachometer that starts at 6000rpm just like the flagship — the yamaha r1. The cluster is now also bluetooth enabled allowing you to pair your smartphone for notifications and such. The yamaha link app also shows your information like last parked location and bike health history which is nice but the bike does miss out on turn-by-turn navigation which is something yamaha could have added. Interestingly the buttons to toggle through the different readouts and to switch between street and track mode are mounted on the handlebar instead of on the cluster itself. Neat feature, this. Apart from this, the bike gets features like the quick shifter, traction control and the new led headlamp unit. But it still doesn’t get led indicators as standard. Which is definitely a miss. talking about price, the yamaha r15 v4 is a solid update that brings a lot of worthwhile upgrades to the table, bits like usd forks, a quick shifter, traction control and modern styling. All this for anywhere between rs 10-15 thousand more than the v3 depending on which variant you get (the racing blue r15 v4 costs rs 1.75 lakh ex-showroom). For all the extra goodies you get on the bike i feel that the premium yamaha is demanding for the v4 is justified. The bike also sits in a sweet spot between the ktm rc 125 and ktm rc 200. So in that sense, the yamaha r15 v4 is a great buy and still remains a great tool to hone your track riding skills, and one that is uncompromising on the performance front.

  • R15 - the best bike in India - power packed and feature loaded!

    1 year ago


    Bharath

    I was looking at a sporty/good-looking bike for daily use and occasional short trips without any budget or engine capacity filters. I considered kawasaki ninja 300, tvs apache rr310, suzuki gixxer sf 250, re meteor, re scram 411 and yamaha mt15 before narrowing down on the r15m motogp 60th anniversary edition. I personally like the looks of my bike (the white-red combination is amazing) the best among all the bikes considered. The handling, performance, mileage, and build quality are top notch and I doubt if there is another bike that delivers punchy performance with such an excellent mileage. Other than the aggressive ride posture, the absence of sturdy rear grab rails to assist while parking in constricted spaces is a con. While the r15 is well-known for delivering great performance even beating higher capacity rivals, the v4/m version has taken a step ahead by introducing best-in-segment features like Bluetooth connectivity, dual-channel abs, quick shifter, TCS, foldable mirrors etc, while also returning an impeccable 50-55kmpl mileage which is mind-boggling. How yamaha has achieved this is a mystery - but as a rider, I'm not complaining! the maintenance is reasonable as well and the after-sales service is good - try to make friendly connections with the service center for a better experience.
    Pro-tip - for the first 1000kms, ride the bike under 80-100 which will help refine the engine and, reap longevity, performance and mileage.

  • Performance is the best.

    2 years ago


    Ashif

    Say hello to the yamaha r15 v4. Unlike the last generation, yamaha hasn’t watered it down for India. Remember how we never got used like other markets did? that’s changed! we get the real deal! the bike also brings with it significant design changes and you could easily mistake it for the new r7. Along with that you also get segment-first features like a quick shifter and traction control and with that it has also become the most expensive r15 to date. There are also a bunch of variants to choose from — standard colour schemes where the quick shifter is optional, the racing blue colour scheme which we are reviewing that gets all the bells and whistles and the r15m and motogp edition colour ways, also fully-loaded.
    The r15 v4 is a gorgeous looking machine. It gets a redesigned front end and the bike now resembles the bigger r7 and for that, it gets a big thumbs up. The fairing design is more than just a cosmetic update. The bike is now more aerodynamic with a lower drag coefficient and it offers better wind protection too. In the flesh, the motorcycle looks imposing too! especially if you keep it next to the r15 v3. In the new fairing also sits a new bi-function led projector headlamp with new drls on either side, Reminiscent of the ones found on the r7 and r6. This new setup does a great job of illuminating the road ahead of you and i barely found the need to use high-beam.
    Start taking a few steps back and the bike starts to look familiar again. It has the same rear section as the r15 v3 and i’m not complaining. The design is cohesive and it works well together, though the pillion seat is still one floor high and your date won’t be particularly happy about that. Now the r15 v4 is available in a few colour schemes, namely metallic red, dark knight and this racing blue variant you see here. The racing blue variant costs around Rs 6000 more than the standard colour way and for that you also get the quick shifter which is standard on the r15m and moto gp editions. Yamaha has decided not to mess with the engine on the r15 and has stuck with the same 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that gets vva. It continues to make 18.1bhp although it does now make its peak torque of 14.1nm a 1000rpm earlier. Now in terms of performance, the engine is not one that will blow your mind with its acceleration or power delivery. But it definitely is involving to ride. The vva system works as advertised and helps in giving the bike a wider power band and that along with the peak torque being delivered slightly earlier makes the bike more forgiving to ride allowing you to carry a gear higher into a corner, while still getting a decent amount of drive out of a corner. The engine continues to be mated to a six-speed gearbox and gets the same slip and assist clutch ensuring a light and easy to operate clutch lever. Since this is the racing blue colour scheme, it gets a quick shifter as standard. It is optional on the standard colour schemes but comes as standard kit for the r15m and moto gp editions. The quick shifter is not a gimmick. It works above 2000rpm and 20kmph and is rather smooth when shifting higher up in the rev range. The shifts are however slightly clunky if done when the tacho needle is in the lower end of the range so you’ll be better off using the clutch for the slow speed shifts. Continuing with the theme of rider aids, the r15 v4 (all variants) get a traction control system as standard. Thankfully, the system is pretty non-intrusive and you can see the tc indicator light come on if you are a little extra generous with your throttle input on loose surfaces. You can also switch the system off altogether. But it is nice to see manufacturer's spec ‘entry-level’ bikes like the r15 with kit like this, something you’d otherwise only find on significantly higher-performance vehicles. The r15 v4 now gets usd forks. Something that was missing on the v3 despite it being standard equipment on the international variants of the same. Now, in theory, a usd setup is bound to work better because the setup is more rigid and less prone to flexing under load, considering the outer tubes are what the triple clap is mounted on. But how does it work? well, the bike is on the stiffer side to better go with the sporty intent of the bike. This stiffer setup paired with the delta box frame that we all know and love is something that you will really appreciate when you take the bike to a race track or to your favourite set of twistiness. The bike is quick with direction changes, planted when fully leaned over and knows how to hold a line. Now, despite the suspension setup being set up for sport application, the bike does a good job of soaking up bumps and potholes without sending shocks down your spine. Now, with the v4, yamaha has tried to make the bike a little easier to live with. First with the better wind protection and then the clip on s. They have been pushed out and made wider meaning that they are easier to reach and put less strain on your body. This also means that you need to put in less effort to tip the bike into a corner with the added leverage of wider bars. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying this is as comfortable as a naked bike, but it is just a touch easier to live with. One thing the bike would certainly benefit from however and this isn’t a costly upgrade either are tank grips. The redesigned tank is nice and roomy and will properly accommodate even taller riders. But the surface is extremely slippery and you can’t hold on to it with your knees for too long without it constantly sliding off. This is where the tank grips would come into play allowing you to better grip the tank and keep your upper body relatively relaxed. But then again this won’t be too expensive a fix what with so many aftermarket solutions available. Another chink in the r15 v4s armor would be its braking. The front brake seems to have decent initial bite and feedback but over the course of a few kilometers, you lose quite a bit of your braking performance thanks to brake fade and the feel at the lever starts to become rather spongy. Even the abs kicks in a little earlier than i would like. Now in terms of features, the bike comes with a new instrument cluster that displays more information and also gets a dedicated track mode that showcases things like a lap timer and a tachometer that starts at 6000rpm just like the flagship — the yamaha r1. The cluster is now also bluetooth enabled allowing you to pair your smartphone for notifications and such. The yamaha link app also shows your information like last parked location and bike health history which is nice but the bike does miss out on turn-by-turn navigation which is something yamaha could have added. Interestingly the buttons to toggle through the different readouts and to switch between street and track mode are mounted on the handlebar instead of on the cluster itself. Neat feature, this. Apart from this, the bike gets features like the quick shifter, traction control and the new led headlamp unit. But it still doesn’t get led indicators as standard. Which is definitely a miss. talking about price, the yamaha r15 v4 is a solid update that brings a lot of worthwhile upgrades to the table, bits like usd forks, a quick shifter, traction control and modern styling. All this for anywhere between rs 10-15 thousand more than the v3 depending on which variant you get (the racing blue r15 v4 costs rs 1.75 lakh ex-showroom). For all the extra goodies you get on the bike i feel that the premium yamaha is demanding for the v4 is justified. The bike also sits in a sweet spot between the ktm rc 125 and ktm rc 200. So in that sense, the yamaha r15 v4 is a great buy and still remains a great tool to hone your track riding skills, and one that is uncompromising on the performance front.

    Great motorcycle Amazing looks, top speed is crazy ~150 kmph
    The suspension is a little stiff.Mileage is 40+ Service is good.Very nimble
    Riding posture is very committed which makes the handling of the bike the best.
    If you want a comfortable riding posture. You can install handlebar risers on this motorcycle.
    JEM India makes the risers, particularly for this bike. And it is very good.

  • Yamaha R15 V4 Beast

    27 weeks ago


    Harish

    Last year I took Yamaha R15 V4, The R15 series has always been known for its sporty design and performance, and the V4 version takes it to a whole new level. Here's my comprehensive review of the bike.
    Design and appearance: the Yamaha R15 V4 boasts a sleek and aggressive design that catches the eye. The sharp lines and aerodynamic fairings give it a sporty look. The LED headlights and tail lights add a touch to the overall design. The bike's colour schemes are vibrant, making it stand out among its competitors.
    Performance: one of the amazing features of the R15 V4 is its performance. Powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled engine, it delivers an impressive power output and acceleration. The bike feels incredibly responsive and agile, making it a joy to ride, especially on curvy roads. The upgraded variable valve actuation (VVA) technology enhances the bike's performance, providing a smooth power delivery across the rpm range.
    Handling and ride quality: Yamaha has always been known for its exceptional handling, and the R15 V4 lives up to that reputation. The bike feels nimble and precise, allowing the rider to confidently manoeuvre through tight corners. The telescopic front suspension and mono-shock rear suspension provide a comfortable ride, absorbing most bumps and vibrations on the road. However, on uneven surfaces, the rear suspension can feel slightly stiff. Features and technology R15 V4 comes loaded with advanced features and technology. The fully digital instrument cluster provides all the necessary information at a glance, including speed, rpm, fuel level, and gear position. It also offers additional features such as a gear shift indicator, fuel efficiency indicator, and even Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with a smartphone. The inclusion of dual-channel abs ensures enhanced safety, especially during sudden braking.
    Comfort and ergonomics: while the R15 V4 is primarily designed as a sportbike, the seating position is relatively comfortable for a rider of average height. However, taller riders may find the rear-set footpegs and aggressive riding posture a bit cramped during long rides. The seat cushioning is adequate but could benefit from additional padding for improved long-distance comfort.
    Conclusion: Overall, the Yamaha R15 V4 is a commendable upgrade to an already impressive lineup. Its sporty design, exhilarating performance, and advanced features make it an attractive option for enthusiasts and young riders alike. While there are minor areas that could be improved, such as the rear suspension and seat comfort, the R15 V4 remains a fantastic choice for those seeking a thrilling riding experience.

  • This bike is not for you.

    1 year ago


    Nikhilesh G

    1. I bought it from perfect riders, which is an authorized Yamaha dealer. Their staff is good, but once you get your bike, they don't respond to you properly. So my buying experience is not good.
    2. The riding experience is good only for short rides; if you want to do a long road trip and the daily commute, this is not the right bike for you. The pillion seat is not at all comfortable. If you ride this bike for a long time, you'll end up with lower back and wrist pain. This bike is for performance, not to ride comfortably.
    On December 31, 2022, I went on a one-day trip with my sister on my brand-new yamaha r15 v4. In one day, I covered almost 290 to 300 kilometers. After coming back to my house, my lower back started to hurt, and my sister felt uncomfortable because of the seat height and because there was no handlebar to hold on to for support. And this is not a suitable bike to commute every day or for long highway runs.
    3. The best performance bike in the 155cc segment looks like the Yamaha r7.
    4. Compare to r15 v3, v4 service cost is a bit high even the spare parts price as well 
    5. Pros: best performance bike in the 155cc segment.
    Cons: the price is high for 155cc segment
    Committed riding position.
    The seat is not at all comfortable for the pillion.
    Service cost & spare cost is a bit high compared to r15 v3 & mt15.
    Not suitable for a road trips.

But it is nice to see manufacturer's spec ‘entry-level’ bikes like the r15 with kit like this, something you’d otherwise only find on significantly higher-performance vehicles. The r15 v4 now gets usd forks. Something that was missing on the v3 despite it being standard equipment on the international variants of the same. Now, in theory, a usd setup is bound to work better because the setup is more rigid and less prone to flexing under load, considering the outer tubes are what the triple clap is mounted on. But how does it work? well, the bike is on the stiffer side to better go with the sporty intent of the bike. This stiffer setup paired with the delta box frame that we all know and love is something that you will really appreciate when you take the bike to a race track or to your favourite set of twistiness. The bike is quick with direction changes, planted when fully leaned over and knows how to hold a line. Now, despite the suspension setup being set up for sport application, the bike does a good job of soaking up bumps and potholes without sending shocks down your spine. Now, with the v4, yamaha has tried to make the bike a little easier to live with. First with the better wind protection and then the clip on s. They have been pushed out and made wider meaning that they are easier to reach and put less strain on your body. This also means that you need to put in less effort to tip the bike into a corner with the added leverage of wider bars. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying this is as comfortable as a naked bike, but it is just a touch easier to live with. One thing the bike would certainly benefit from however and this isn’t a costly upgrade either are tank grips. The redesigned tank is nice and roomy and will properly accommodate even taller riders. But the surface is extremely slippery and you can’t hold on to it with your knees for too long without it constantly sliding off. This is where the tank grips would come into play allowing you to better grip the tank and keep your upper body relatively relaxed. But then again this won’t be too expensive a fix what with so many aftermarket solutions available. Another chink in the r15 v4s armor would be its braking. The front brake seems to have decent initial bite and feedback but over the course of a few kilometers, you lose quite a bit of your braking performance thanks to brake fade and the feel at the lever starts to become rather spongy. Even the abs kicks in a little earlier than i would like. Now in terms of features, the bike comes with a new instrument cluster that displays more information and also gets a dedicated track mode that showcases things like a lap timer and a tachometer that starts at 6000rpm just like the flagship — the yamaha r1. The cluster is now also bluetooth enabled allowing you to pair your smartphone for notifications and such. The yamaha link app also shows your information like last parked location and bike health history which is nice but the bike does miss out on turn-by-turn navigation which is something yamaha could have added. Interestingly the buttons to toggle through the different readouts and to switch between street and track mode are mounted on the handlebar instead of on the cluster itself. Neat feature, this. Apart from this, the bike gets features like the quick shifter, traction control and the new led headlamp unit. But it still doesn’t get led indicators as standard. Which is definitely a miss. talking about price, the yamaha r15 v4 is a solid update that brings a lot of worthwhile upgrades to the table, bits like usd forks, a quick shifter, traction control and modern styling. All this for anywhere between rs 10-15 thousand more than the v3 depending on which variant you get (the racing blue r15 v4 costs rs 1.75 lakh ex-showroom). For all the extra goodies you get on the bike i feel that the premium yamaha is demanding for the v4 is justified. The bike also sits in a sweet spot between the ktm rc 125 and ktm rc 200. So in that sense, the yamaha r15 v4 is a great buy and still remains a great tool to hone your track riding skills, and one that is uncompromising on the performance front.

    Great motorcycle Amazing looks, top speed is crazy ~150 kmph
    The suspension is a little stiff.Mileage is 40+ Service is good.Very nimble
    Riding posture is very committed which makes the handling of the bike the best.
    If you want a comfortable riding posture. You can install handlebar risers on this motorcycle.
    JEM India makes the risers, particularly for this bike. And it is very good.

  • Yamaha R15 V4 Beast

    27 weeks ago


    Harish

    Last year I took Yamaha R15 V4, The R15 series has always been known for its sporty design and performance, and the V4 version takes it to a whole new level. Here's my comprehensive review of the bike.
    Design and appearance: the Yamaha R15 V4 boasts a sleek and aggressive design that catches the eye. The sharp lines and aerodynamic fairings give it a sporty look. The LED headlights and tail lights add a touch to the overall design. The bike's colour schemes are vibrant, making it stand out among its competitors.
    Performance: one of the amazing features of the R15 V4 is its performance. Powered by a 155cc liquid-cooled engine, it delivers an impressive power output and acceleration. The bike feels incredibly responsive and agile, making it a joy to ride, especially on curvy roads. The upgraded variable valve actuation (VVA) technology enhances the bike's performance, providing a smooth power delivery across the rpm range.
    Handling and ride quality: Yamaha has always been known for its exceptional handling, and the R15 V4 lives up to that reputation. The bike feels nimble and precise, allowing the rider to confidently manoeuvre through tight corners. The telescopic front suspension and mono-shock rear suspension provide a comfortable ride, absorbing most bumps and vibrations on the road. However, on uneven surfaces, the rear suspension can feel slightly stiff. Features and technology R15 V4 comes loaded with advanced features and technology. The fully digital instrument cluster provides all the necessary information at a glance, including speed, rpm, fuel level, and gear position. It also offers additional features such as a gear shift indicator, fuel efficiency indicator, and even Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with a smartphone. The inclusion of dual-channel abs ensures enhanced safety, especially during sudden braking.
    Comfort and ergonomics: while the R15 V4 is primarily designed as a sportbike, the seating position is relatively comfortable for a rider of average height. However, taller riders may find the rear-set footpegs and aggressive riding posture a bit cramped during long rides. The seat cushioning is adequate but could benefit from additional padding for improved long-distance comfort.
    Conclusion: Overall, the Yamaha R15 V4 is a commendable upgrade to an already impressive lineup. Its sporty design, exhilarating performance, and advanced features make it an attractive option for enthusiasts and young riders alike. While there are minor areas that could be improved, such as the rear suspension and seat comfort, the R15 V4 remains a fantastic choice for those seeking a thrilling riding experience.

  • This bike is not for you.

    1 year ago


    Nikhilesh G

    1. I bought it from perfect riders, which is an authorized Yamaha dealer. Their staff is good, but once you get your bike, they don't respond to you properly. So my buying experience is not good.
    2. The riding experience is good only for short rides; if you want to do a long road trip and the daily commute, this is not the right bike for you. The pillion seat is not at all comfortable. If you ride this bike for a long time, you'll end up with lower back and wrist pain. This bike is for performance, not to ride comfortably.
    On December 31, 2022, I went on a one-day trip with my sister on my brand-new yamaha r15 v4. In one day, I covered almost 290 to 300 kilometers. After coming back to my house, my lower back started to hurt, and my sister felt uncomfortable because of the seat height and because there was no handlebar to hold on to for support. And this is not a suitable bike to commute every day or for long highway runs.
    3. The best performance bike in the 155cc segment looks like the Yamaha r7.
    4. Compare to r15 v3, v4 service cost is a bit high even the spare parts price as well 
    5. Pros: best performance bike in the 155cc segment.
    Cons: the price is high for 155cc segment
    Committed riding position.
    The seat is not at all comfortable for the pillion.
    Service cost & spare cost is a bit high compared to r15 v3 & mt15.
    Not suitable for a road trips.

  • R15 - the best bike in India - power packed and feature loaded!

    1 year ago


    Bharath

    I was looking at a sporty/good-looking bike for daily use and occasional short trips without any budget or engine capacity filters. I considered kawasaki ninja 300, tvs apache rr310, suzuki gixxer sf 250, re meteor, re scram 411 and yamaha mt15 before narrowing down on the r15m motogp 60th anniversary edition. I personally like the looks of my bike (the white-red combination is amazing) the best among all the bikes considered. The handling, performance, mileage, and build quality are top notch and I doubt if there is another bike that delivers punchy performance with such an excellent mileage. Other than the aggressive ride posture, the absence of sturdy rear grab rails to assist while parking in constricted spaces is a con. While the r15 is well-known for delivering great performance even beating higher capacity rivals, the v4/m version has taken a step ahead by introducing best-in-segment features like Bluetooth connectivity, dual-channel abs, quick shifter, TCS, foldable mirrors etc, while also returning an impeccable 50-55kmpl mileage which is mind-boggling. How yamaha has achieved this is a mystery - but as a rider, I'm not complaining! the maintenance is reasonable as well and the after-sales service is good - try to make friendly connections with the service center for a better experience.
    Pro-tip - for the first 1000kms, ride the bike under 80-100 which will help refine the engine and, reap longevity, performance and mileage.

  • Performance is the best.

    2 years ago


    Ashif

    Say hello to the yamaha r15 v4. Unlike the last generation, yamaha hasn’t watered it down for India. Remember how we never got used like other markets did? that’s changed! we get the real deal! the bike also brings with it significant design changes and you could easily mistake it for the new r7. Along with that you also get segment-first features like a quick shifter and traction control and with that it has also become the most expensive r15 to date. There are also a bunch of variants to choose from — standard colour schemes where the quick shifter is optional, the racing blue colour scheme which we are reviewing that gets all the bells and whistles and the r15m and motogp edition colour ways, also fully-loaded.
    The r15 v4 is a gorgeous looking machine. It gets a redesigned front end and the bike now resembles the bigger r7 and for that, it gets a big thumbs up. The fairing design is more than just a cosmetic update. The bike is now more aerodynamic with a lower drag coefficient and it offers better wind protection too. In the flesh, the motorcycle looks imposing too! especially if you keep it next to the r15 v3. In the new fairing also sits a new bi-function led projector headlamp with new drls on either side, Reminiscent of the ones found on the r7 and r6. This new setup does a great job of illuminating the road ahead of you and i barely found the need to use high-beam.
    Start taking a few steps back and the bike starts to look familiar again. It has the same rear section as the r15 v3 and i’m not complaining. The design is cohesive and it works well together, though the pillion seat is still one floor high and your date won’t be particularly happy about that. Now the r15 v4 is available in a few colour schemes, namely metallic red, dark knight and this racing blue variant you see here. The racing blue variant costs around Rs 6000 more than the standard colour way and for that you also get the quick shifter which is standard on the r15m and moto gp editions. Yamaha has decided not to mess with the engine on the r15 and has stuck with the same 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that gets vva. It continues to make 18.1bhp although it does now make its peak torque of 14.1nm a 1000rpm earlier. Now in terms of performance, the engine is not one that will blow your mind with its acceleration or power delivery. But it definitely is involving to ride. The vva system works as advertised and helps in giving the bike a wider power band and that along with the peak torque being delivered slightly earlier makes the bike more forgiving to ride allowing you to carry a gear higher into a corner, while still getting a decent amount of drive out of a corner. The engine continues to be mated to a six-speed gearbox and gets the same slip and assist clutch ensuring a light and easy to operate clutch lever. Since this is the racing blue colour scheme, it gets a quick shifter as standard. It is optional on the standard colour schemes but comes as standard kit for the r15m and moto gp editions. The quick shifter is not a gimmick. It works above 2000rpm and 20kmph and is rather smooth when shifting higher up in the rev range. The shifts are however slightly clunky if done when the tacho needle is in the lower end of the range so you’ll be better off using the clutch for the slow speed shifts. Continuing with the theme of rider aids, the r15 v4 (all variants) get a traction control system as standard. Thankfully, the system is pretty non-intrusive and you can see the tc indicator light come on if you are a little extra generous with your throttle input on loose surfaces. You can also switch the system off altogether. But it is nice to see manufacturer's spec ‘entry-level’ bikes like the r15 with kit like this, something you’d otherwise only find on significantly higher-performance vehicles. The r15 v4 now gets usd forks. Something that was missing on the v3 despite it being standard equipment on the international variants of the same. Now, in theory, a usd setup is bound to work better because the setup is more rigid and less prone to flexing under load, considering the outer tubes are what the triple clap is mounted on. But how does it work? well, the bike is on the stiffer side to better go with the sporty intent of the bike. This stiffer setup paired with the delta box frame that we all know and love is something that you will really appreciate when you take the bike to a race track or to your favourite set of twistiness. The bike is quick with direction changes, planted when fully leaned over and knows how to hold a line. Now, despite the suspension setup being set up for sport application, the bike does a good job of soaking up bumps and potholes without sending shocks down your spine. Now, with the v4, yamaha has tried to make the bike a little easier to live with. First with the better wind protection and then the clip on s. They have been pushed out and made wider meaning that they are easier to reach and put less strain on your body. This also means that you need to put in less effort to tip the bike into a corner with the added leverage of wider bars. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying this is as comfortable as a naked bike, but it is just a touch easier to live with. One thing the bike would certainly benefit from however and this isn’t a costly upgrade either are tank grips. The redesigned tank is nice and roomy and will properly accommodate even taller riders. But the surface is extremely slippery and you can’t hold on to it with your knees for too long without it constantly sliding off. This is where the tank grips would come into play allowing you to better grip the tank and keep your upper body relatively relaxed. But then again this won’t be too expensive a fix what with so many aftermarket solutions available. Another chink in the r15 v4s armor would be its braking. The front brake seems to have decent initial bite and feedback but over the course of a few kilometers, you lose quite a bit of your braking performance thanks to brake fade and the feel at the lever starts to become rather spongy. Even the abs kicks in a little earlier than i would like. Now in terms of features, the bike comes with a new instrument cluster that displays more information and also gets a dedicated track mode that showcases things like a lap timer and a tachometer that starts at 6000rpm just like the flagship — the yamaha r1. The cluster is now also bluetooth enabled allowing you to pair your smartphone for notifications and such. The yamaha link app also shows your information like last parked location and bike health history which is nice but the bike does miss out on turn-by-turn navigation which is something yamaha could have added. Interestingly the buttons to toggle through the different readouts and to switch between street and track mode are mounted on the handlebar instead of on the cluster itself. Neat feature, this. Apart from this, the bike gets features like the quick shifter, traction control and the new led headlamp unit. But it still doesn’t get led indicators as standard. Which is definitely a miss. talking about price, the yamaha r15 v4 is a solid update that brings a lot of worthwhile upgrades to the table, bits like usd forks, a quick shifter, traction control and modern styling. All this for anywhere between rs 10-15 thousand more than the v3 depending on which variant you get (the racing blue r15 v4 costs rs 1.75 lakh ex-showroom). For all the extra goodies you get on the bike i feel that the premium yamaha is demanding for the v4 is justified. The bike also sits in a sweet spot between the ktm rc 125 and ktm rc 200. So in that sense, the yamaha r15 v4 is a great buy and still remains a great tool to hone your track riding skills, and one that is uncompromising on the performance front.
