    Style


    its an race looking bike,perfct make by yamaha motors


    engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox


    it is an 6 gear vehicle, those six gears will helps us t achieve an max speed of 188kilometer per hour while it is in pickup while we ride in highwaysgearsystem is looking like an ordinary yamaha gear system,mileage giving avg.35-40


    Ride quality & handling


    really an awesome riding experiences given by this bike..We really feel this bike as a more than worth of its actual rate..Its gives an experience of riding a ship in a smooth sea,perfect handbears gives a well controlled handling,its a too short bike but also an weightless bike


    final words


    this bike defeats the market of karizma zmr,honda cbr,..An noticable point is that thos karizma and honda cbr are more worth than this unleased racer r15..Its a brilliant make from yamaha..Thanks for yamaha fr giving me a awesme bike.........

    Style i don't think that styling of this bike needs to be spoken of instead just take a look at it guys. Definitely you will fall in love with it.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox the engine performance is just fabulous. 17 Ps power itself tells us everything about the refinement of the 150cc engine. The fuel economy is fair enough ranging between 35-40 kmpl. It seems too bad as compared to other 150cc bikes but guys we have to take in consideration the incredible power offerded by the bike. Believe me the dive in mileage is worth the power offered. The 6 speed gearbox is just smooth as silk. It might feel a gruelling job while riding in city but turns out to be a boon while riding on the highway.


    Ride quality & handling the ride quality is just unbelievable. It has a stiffer suspension which helps a lot in handling. If you feel that riding this bike needs a tiring posture please refer to the photos on http://www.Yamaha-motor-india.Com/service/experienced_rider/safety_riding.Html


    guys do checkout these photos.These are from the official website of yamaha motors india so they are no way any sort of a fooling platform.


    Final words a great bike which is perfectly priced. A great option for those who like performance bike in your own budget.This bike is really a great fun to ride with. Proud to own one.


    Areas of improvement i think that the bike should come with an optional abs and the pillion rider height should be lowered a bit.

    Pros

    performance,styling,looks,ride quality

    cons

    high pillion seat

    Abhishek Das

    Looks amazing the design is absolutely mind blowing. Nice performance, fuel economy is good enough actually depends on riding style and very smooth ride. Hardly there is any vibrations at top speed. Gear change is also smooth.Bike quality is good enough. The ride quality is superb and handling is really amazing. Just the problem is with the pillion rider. But overall r15 is an awesome motorcycle.

    Pros

    smoothness, hardly any vibrations, nice performance

    Srikanth Srik

    Style style is the reason i bought it. The color combination is good like red &white and also blue & white


    engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox gears are smooth. Giving upto 50kmpl outside city inside could be 40+.


    Ride quality & handling love it. Total controllable. Breaks are awesome. No one can overtake you on road.


    Final words road king.


    Areas of improvement provide on option to disable back seat like royal enfield has.

    6 years ago


    Rahul Singh

    I bought this bike in march 2015 and still having this bike. Honestly this bike is having road presence. In 150cc segment this bike is having no match. It is having proper sports bike feel and seating posture.Looks little old as new competitors are in the market but still it is doing very good job.Service cost is also not high but needs proper care and maintenance.

  • Ownership review what i feel about r15.

    7 years ago


    Aaryan Singh

    1.Its always a great experience to buy your dream bike so the buying experience was so good and i bought my bike on emis although i got a good deal so the was so touchy for me and was awesome.2.Lets talk about riding experience so the riding experience always fun for me of r15.I am a student so mostly i ride my bike only in the city.In city r15 does a great job.3.If we talk about looks of r15 it gives you full racing look it is a racing sport bike what i love the most about this is the riding posture mostly people says that the riding posture is not good of r15 but i love the posture because it helps when you speeding up to bike and on the corners it gives you a very safe posture not as much as comfortable for long rides but its good.The performance of r15 is way better than the other 150cc bikes in the market as i feel the torque of the bike is so good which gives you very high pickup thanks to its fuel injection technology like as we seen in the 200cc duke. If we talk about the mileage of r15 so in the city it gives you the mileage of around 40 and on the highway it gives you around 45 to 50kmpl which quite good according to a racing sport bike.4.Servicing of yamaha is so good as i feel it gives you full satisfaction.The maintenance cost of r15 is little bit more than the other 150 or 200cc bikes but its good.5.Pros-r15 has a good pickup thanks to its fuel injection technology it is the only bike which provides you this technology in a 150cc bike.Cons-the only con i feel in this bike is pillion seat and its quite expensive.Although the bike is awesome it will give you a great experience of bike riding.Wear your riding gears always while you riding stay safe.

  • I love my r15

    7 years ago


    Dhaval Thacker

    Hi all, i have been using her since dec 2016 and this is my second r15 . It is totally stunning in looks and performance and also in handing and braking system.Though she is build with 150cc engine, still catch up 180 cc segment bikes. No bikes in 150cc segment can catch this beast at first. I assure the r15 owners that , it will make one feel like racing in a track at top ends and also in finishing the corners because of its riding position. I don't know what others think about it and i never mind about that. I love this scary machine and this is from my experience....

    7 years ago


    Dhaval Thacker

    Hi all, i have been using her since dec 2016 and this is my second r15 . It is totally stunning in looks and performance and also in handing and braking system.Though she is build with 150cc engine, still catch up 180 cc segment bikes. No bikes in 150cc segment can catch this beast at first. I assure the r15 owners that , it will make one feel like racing in a track at top ends and also in finishing the corners because of its riding position. I don't know what others think about it and i never mind about that. I love this scary machine and this is from my experience....

    it is an 6 gear vehicle, those six gears will helps us t achieve an max speed of 188kilometer per hour while it is in pickup while we ride in highwaysgearsystem is looking like an ordinary yamaha gear system,mileage giving avg.35-40


    Ride quality & handling


    really an awesome riding experiences given by this bike..We really feel this bike as a more than worth of its actual rate..Its gives an experience of riding a ship in a smooth sea,perfect handbears gives a well controlled handling,its a too short bike but also an weightless bike


    final words


    this bike defeats the market of karizma zmr,honda cbr,..An noticable point is that thos karizma and honda cbr are more worth than this unleased racer r15..Its a brilliant make from yamaha..Thanks for yamaha fr giving me a awesme bike.........

    Style i don't think that styling of this bike needs to be spoken of instead just take a look at it guys. Definitely you will fall in love with it.


    Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox the engine performance is just fabulous. 17 Ps power itself tells us everything about the refinement of the 150cc engine. The fuel economy is fair enough ranging between 35-40 kmpl. It seems too bad as compared to other 150cc bikes but guys we have to take in consideration the incredible power offerded by the bike. Believe me the dive in mileage is worth the power offered. The 6 speed gearbox is just smooth as silk. It might feel a gruelling job while riding in city but turns out to be a boon while riding on the highway.


    Ride quality & handling the ride quality is just unbelievable. It has a stiffer suspension which helps a lot in handling. If you feel that riding this bike needs a tiring posture please refer to the photos on http://www.Yamaha-motor-india.Com/service/experienced_rider/safety_riding.Html


    guys do checkout these photos.These are from the official website of yamaha motors india so they are no way any sort of a fooling platform.


    Final words a great bike which is perfectly priced. A great option for those who like performance bike in your own budget.This bike is really a great fun to ride with. Proud to own one.


    Areas of improvement i think that the bike should come with an optional abs and the pillion rider height should be lowered a bit.

    Pros

    performance,styling,looks,ride quality

    cons

    high pillion seat

    Looks amazing the design is absolutely mind blowing. Nice performance, fuel economy is good enough actually depends on riding style and very smooth ride. Hardly there is any vibrations at top speed. Gear change is also smooth.Bike quality is good enough. The ride quality is superb and handling is really amazing. Just the problem is with the pillion rider. But overall r15 is an awesome motorcycle.

    I bought this bike in march 2015 and still having this bike. Honestly this bike is having road presence. In 150cc segment this bike is having no match. It is having proper sports bike feel and seating posture.Looks little old as new competitors are in the market but still it is doing very good job.Service cost is also not high but needs proper care and maintenance.

  • Ownership review what i feel about r15.

    7 years ago


    Aaryan Singh

    1.Its always a great experience to buy your dream bike so the buying experience was so good and i bought my bike on emis although i got a good deal so the was so touchy for me and was awesome.2.Lets talk about riding experience so the riding experience always fun for me of r15.I am a student so mostly i ride my bike only in the city.In city r15 does a great job.3.If we talk about looks of r15 it gives you full racing look it is a racing sport bike what i love the most about this is the riding posture mostly people says that the riding posture is not good of r15 but i love the posture because it helps when you speeding up to bike and on the corners it gives you a very safe posture not as much as comfortable for long rides but its good.The performance of r15 is way better than the other 150cc bikes in the market as i feel the torque of the bike is so good which gives you very high pickup thanks to its fuel injection technology like as we seen in the 200cc duke. If we talk about the mileage of r15 so in the city it gives you the mileage of around 40 and on the highway it gives you around 45 to 50kmpl which quite good according to a racing sport bike.4.Servicing of yamaha is so good as i feel it gives you full satisfaction.The maintenance cost of r15 is little bit more than the other 150 or 200cc bikes but its good.5.Pros-r15 has a good pickup thanks to its fuel injection technology it is the only bike which provides you this technology in a 150cc bike.Cons-the only con i feel in this bike is pillion seat and its quite expensive.Although the bike is awesome it will give you a great experience of bike riding.Wear your riding gears always while you riding stay safe.

  • I love my r15

    Hi all, i have been using her since dec 2016 and this is my second r15 . It is totally stunning in looks and performance and also in handing and braking system.Though she is build with 150cc engine, still catch up 180 cc segment bikes. No bikes in 150cc segment can catch this beast at first. I assure the r15 owners that , it will make one feel like racing in a track at top ends and also in finishing the corners because of its riding position. I don't know what others think about it and i never mind about that. I love this scary machine and this is from my experience....
