Yamaha YZF R15 [2011-2018] Price in Shrirampur

I bought the yamaha r15 despite having booked a pulsar 150. Initially, I planned to use my bike for a daily commute and hence wanted a decently powered bike with good mileage. However, I went against everyone's advice and bought the yamaha r15, as I learnt to ride a bike on the yamaha rx135 and own it to date.
The bike has the most refined engine in the under-200cc segment and has amazing balance. The mrf tires do an excellent job providing great road grip and I haven't felt more confident navigating corners on any other bikes than the r15. For starters, the riding posture is aggressive but nothing to worry about as one can get used to riding the bike in an almost upright posture in a few days (ps: I am 5'8"). I have never experienced any wrist pain or back pain - I used to ride for ~30km daily in mumbai traffic (can't get worse). It has a good pickup in the lower gears as well as in the upper gears and I used to get a mileage of ~45kmpl in the city and 60+ on highways (i'd got 80kmpl on mumbai-pune highway riding at 100km+). The riding style and fuel (91octane fuel gives better mileage and ride quality) matter in extracting a good mileage. The service costs were reasonable at about 1-2k per service and I didn't face any issue except once when the clutch cable was cut. A couple of things to be careful of are the mirrors which can get loosened and park your bike in a safe place to avoid scratches, dents, and falls.
Finally, if you have a flair for riding a powerful (power is not just in the cc), good-looking bike which also returns a good mileage - then the r15 is for you!

About the Reviewer

Buying experience was quite good, when I saw the bike it was much tempting and I was eager to take its ride, after taking its ride I made my mind and bought it, people get used to attract towards its look and you feel very glad when people ask you about your bike since it is very appealing to them due to its sporty look and ultimate design. I haven't seen a bike before having such look and with a good mileage plus great pickup and speed. Coming towards servicing and maintenance it consumes very less maintenance and service it provides you long ride in one service, yes but I had a bad experience in showroom regarding service of the bike they just touchup and give you the bike in service and also if there is any problem they never settle it instead they ask us to replace the part.
Pros:- very good and sporty look with good mileage. Appealing to everybody when you ride it.
Cons:- back seat is not for elder person. Yamaha bike servicing by authorized service center is not good except few.
