    The amazing color combination complements the smooth curves, and it feels like it flies. The bike offers better handling, performance, stability, agility, and everything else you could ask for. I loved its acceleration. Power is not a problem it is superb. Stylish bike with essentials we all need. But I would recommend it for daily use because. I got fined for speeding and loud noise.

    1. Low BHP at this price range.
    2. Riding style is very good.
    3. Looks very amazing.
    4. Servicing cost is very high, and every part is highly expensive.
    5. Pros :-
    a) Looks so good.
    b) If you ride single then you feel a powerful performance.
    c) Mileage is good.
    d) Braking system is very very good.
    6. Cons :-
    a) High price with this low BHP compared to RS 200 & NS 200.
    b) If you ride 2 people then this bike's speed performance is low.
    c) Every part is heavy and costly.
    d) Price 2.20 lakh but indicator light design very cheap and old.
    Opinion: if you love its look then go for it,

    I’ve been riding for 1 year now and have done about 10k miles. I love riding, and to me, there are only pros. I use my motorcycle for almost everything I possibly can.
    Pros:
    Waking up in the morning and commuting to work is exciting, and fun, and makes me want to go to work.

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

    2 years 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.

  • Who should consider yamaha r15?

    1 year ago


    Kapkai Suyang

    I have owned this bike for almost a year now and I would say it's an excellent bike if you are committed to its riding posture. For many people, the Yamaha r15 is very uncomfortable but I would say it works perfectly as a sportbike and serves as one of the best in the segment even giving competition to bigger bikes like the KTM RC200. The manoeuvrability, stability, power, mileage, everything sits perfectly in a line. I would say, try it and see if it suits your style or not and if it does then congrats a perfect piece of machinery for you.

  • Love R15v4m

    1 year ago


    Avijit

    No comparison, best of the best bike under 2.5 lakh, no comparison for a long tour, and no comparison for daily driving, I got 47 km mileage. Hi's specs are a bit expensive But it has a different Chris among the young generation, if you don't have a girlfriend, don't buy it, you will become a girlfriend within a month. This kind of fan is quite good, people will look at it once and see what happened In short, it's an unmatched Best Bike.

  • Eye-catchy, best beginner level bike for the price range

    2 years ago


    Sudarshan

    I bought R15 v4 Racing Blue from Kasaragod, Kerala on April 2022. The buying experience was a little bouncy, with poor customer service & lack of vehicle assistance (dealer-specific issue).
    Initial days after the delivery, I had a little bit of wrist and neck pain which subsides later on. The looks and performance are fabulous as usual. By the way, I am 5"11 and did not face back pain issues so far.
    Completed the first service, the second service is due this weekend. When it comes to maintenance, there is nothing to bother about except chain cleaning and lube which requires a paddock stand, or a paddock roller if low on budget.
    I have completed two long road trips of 720 km each (to native and to Chennai from Bangalore). I did not feel any kind of tiredness on highways. Achieved a top speed of 140 kmph with ease, stability is good and MRF tires offer good grip except on steep corners while cornering. I always get a highway mileage of 50 kmpl (full tank to full tank) & on city 47-49 kmpl.
    Pros:
    - Best fuel economy in the 150 cc segment
    - Being of Japanese origin, reliability cannot be questioned
    - Less service center visits (given periodic maintenance is done)
    - Eye catchy machine when in traffic and has got a good road presence
    - App connectivity
    Cons:
    - City commute on back-to-back traffic gets a little worse, even if it is for shorter distance
    - Quality of parts is compromised, I got rust issues in the chassis and front disc
    - The pillion grabrail is weak, and prone to breakage if not taken care of while getting on/off the vehicle
    - On-road price turns out a lot
    Overall, for the price & the brand image, this is the best beginner-level bike, at least in my case.

    Tips for other riders

    Make sure to provide the bike to authorized service centers for periodic service. Avoid fitting with third-party accessories which the Yamaha does not recommend. Rest, the vehicle will be the best as usual. Ride safe, always wear protective gear & avoid rash riding!

  • Beautiful motorcycle

    48 weeks ago


    Xiqo

    This beautiful motorcycle is the one that got me hooked on the aspect of riding/motorcycling, the riding is committed but not as committed as the previous version (r15v3) and a bit more relaxed and forgiving to mistakes and sudden inputs. It is a great motorcycle to carve twisties and valleys since the stiff sporty suspension provides flickability and attacking corners with a safe and forgiving pace. The bike has a beautiful and well-made front upside-down golden KYB suspension that provides excellent handling for beginners. The only cons I've found so far are the small power loss from a previous version that is noticeable only if you really look into it and the traction control cutting power to the rear wheel sometimes when you need it the most (not really an issue as you can turn it off anytime but the thing is you have to turn it off every time you put the key in the ignition as the TCS resets and defaults at on every time you turn it off).

    The amazing color combination complements the smooth curves, and it feels like it flies. The bike offers better handling, performance, stability, agility, and everything else you could ask for. I loved its acceleration. Power is not a problem it is superb. Stylish bike with essentials we all need. But I would recommend it for daily use because. I got fined for speeding and loud noise.

    1. Low BHP at this price range.
    2. Riding style is very good.
    3. Looks very amazing.
    4. Servicing cost is very high, and every part is highly expensive.
    5. Pros :-
    a) Looks so good.
    b) If you ride single then you feel a powerful performance.
    c) Mileage is good.
    d) Braking system is very very good.
    6. Cons :-
    a) High price with this low BHP compared to RS 200 & NS 200.
    b) If you ride 2 people then this bike's speed performance is low.
    c) Every part is heavy and costly.
    d) Price 2.20 lakh but indicator light design very cheap and old.
    Opinion: if you love its look then go for it,

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

    2 years 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.

  • Who should consider yamaha r15?

    1 year ago


    Kapkai Suyang

    I have owned this bike for almost a year now and I would say it's an excellent bike if you are committed to its riding posture. For many people, the Yamaha r15 is very uncomfortable but I would say it works perfectly as a sportbike and serves as one of the best in the segment even giving competition to bigger bikes like the KTM RC200. The manoeuvrability, stability, power, mileage, everything sits perfectly in a line. I would say, try it and see if it suits your style or not and if it does then congrats a perfect piece of machinery for you.

Hi's specs are a bit expensive But it has a different Chris among the young generation, if you don't have a girlfriend, don't buy it, you will become a girlfriend within a month. This kind of fan is quite good, people will look at it once and see what happened In short, it's an unmatched Best Bike.

  • Eye-catchy, best beginner level bike for the price range

    2 years ago


    Sudarshan

    I bought R15 v4 Racing Blue from Kasaragod, Kerala on April 2022. The buying experience was a little bouncy, with poor customer service & lack of vehicle assistance (dealer-specific issue).
    Initial days after the delivery, I had a little bit of wrist and neck pain which subsides later on. The looks and performance are fabulous as usual. By the way, I am 5"11 and did not face back pain issues so far.
    Completed the first service, the second service is due this weekend. When it comes to maintenance, there is nothing to bother about except chain cleaning and lube which requires a paddock stand, or a paddock roller if low on budget.
    I have completed two long road trips of 720 km each (to native and to Chennai from Bangalore). I did not feel any kind of tiredness on highways. Achieved a top speed of 140 kmph with ease, stability is good and MRF tires offer good grip except on steep corners while cornering. I always get a highway mileage of 50 kmpl (full tank to full tank) & on city 47-49 kmpl.
    Pros:
    - Best fuel economy in the 150 cc segment
    - Being of Japanese origin, reliability cannot be questioned
    - Less service center visits (given periodic maintenance is done)
    - Eye catchy machine when in traffic and has got a good road presence
    - App connectivity
    Cons:
    - City commute on back-to-back traffic gets a little worse, even if it is for shorter distance
    - Quality of parts is compromised, I got rust issues in the chassis and front disc
    - The pillion grabrail is weak, and prone to breakage if not taken care of while getting on/off the vehicle
    - On-road price turns out a lot
    Overall, for the price & the brand image, this is the best beginner-level bike, at least in my case.

    Make sure to provide the bike to authorized service centers for periodic service. Avoid fitting with third-party accessories which the Yamaha does not recommend. Rest, the vehicle will be the best as usual. Ride safe, always wear protective gear & avoid rash riding!

  • Beautiful motorcycle

    48 weeks ago


    Xiqo

    This beautiful motorcycle is the one that got me hooked on the aspect of riding/motorcycling, the riding is committed but not as committed as the previous version (r15v3) and a bit more relaxed and forgiving to mistakes and sudden inputs. It is a great motorcycle to carve twisties and valleys since the stiff sporty suspension provides flickability and attacking corners with a safe and forgiving pace. The bike has a beautiful and well-made front upside-down golden KYB suspension that provides excellent handling for beginners. The only cons I've found so far are the small power loss from a previous version that is noticeable only if you really look into it and the traction control cutting power to the rear wheel sometimes when you need it the most (not really an issue as you can turn it off anytime but the thing is you have to turn it off every time you put the key in the ignition as the TCS resets and defaults at on every time you turn it off).

The only cons I've found so far are the small power loss from a previous version that is noticeable only if you really look into it and the traction control cutting power to the rear wheel sometimes when you need it the most (not really an issue as you can turn it off anytime but the thing is you have to turn it off every time you put the key in the ignition as the TCS resets and defaults at on every time you turn it off).

    Tips for other riders

    the Yamaha Y-Connect causes battery drain issues for some of the motorcycle, personally i've never had such issues.
