Yamaha R15 Special Edition (Version 1)
About
The Yamaha R15 Special Edition (Version 1) is a sleek and powerful 150cc sports bike that has garnered a loyal following in India. Powered by a 149.8cc liquid-cooled engine, it produces 17 PS of power and features a 6-speed gearbox, which enhances its performance and ride quality. The bikes delta box frame and mono-shock suspension contribute to its excellent handling and stability, making it a delight for cornering and high-speed riding. The digital console with a white backlight is visually appealing, and the bikes aerodynamic design ensures it stands out on the road. However, its important to note that the rear seat is less comfortable, and maintenance costs can be higher compared to other bikes in its class. Despite these limitations, the R15 V1 remains a top choice for those seeking a blend of style, performance, and handling.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Yamaha R15 Special Edition (Version 1) is a standout in the 150cc segment in India, known for its exceptional performance, handling, and styling. From my experience, this bike excels in terms of agility and cornering, making it a joy to ride, especially for enthusiasts who love the thrill of tight corners and swift acceleration. The 150cc engine, though not the most powerful, delivers a smooth and refined ride, with a top speed that can easily touch 145 kmph on long stretches. However, the bikes rear seat comfort is a significant drawback, and the headlight performance, particularly at night, leaves much to be desired. Despite these cons, the R15 V1 remains a favorite among bikers for its overall package of performance, looks, and handling.
Price
The price of the Yamaha R15 Special Edition (Version 1) in India, although it is no longer in production, can be gauged from its historical context. When it was available, the ex-showroom price was around 1.1 lakh to 1.2 lakh, depending on the region and any special edition features. On-road prices would have been slightly higher, typically ranging from 1.3 lakh to 1.4 lakh, including registration, insurance, and other costs. For those looking to purchase a used model, prices can vary widely based on the bikes condition, mileage, and location, but you can expect to pay anywhere from 60,000 to 90,000.
Mileage

You can expect around 40 kmlitre in city riding conditions and approximately 36-37 kmlitre on highways, especially when riding at constant high speeds. This makes it a relatively economical choice for daily commuting and occasional long rides, helping to balance out the higher maintenance costs associated with this bike.

Yamaha R15 is a very good bike.
It gives an amazing acceleration.
Yamaha R15 is an awesome and vry smooth bike. Must ride it.
Guys R15 is indeed a very gud bike bt some minor changes should be done to make it even better.... 1st of all, the back side of the bike is not proportionate to the front(including the rear tyres).. The engine should be more covered like big sports bikes.. And last but not the least, the price should be 8-10 thousand less....
Do you agree?????
Awesome bike in 150cc segment.
The company should change the back tyre of R15, it is really skiny and should make it lil fater.
Honda CBR 250R has perfect engineering.
My dreambike. I am sure one day my mom will gift it to me. Thanks to yamaha team for good bike
Disappointed by top speed
Itz not worth its price.
GUYS if R15 body kits is changed with R125...then R15 will look much better. rite?
Its colour is awsome and even performance. but after 1 year it gives us problems, dont buy it !!
It is an good bike but its engine power is not so good it has only 150cc engine in it .
What a bike sirji..........(r15 special ediction)
I love my R15 special ediction........it's great......
It would be better if yamaha alters the R15 model to R20 (i.e, engine with 200cc) and with broad aft wheelbase of 1350mm (same as FZs and FAZER)
You can buy ZMR

APACHE 180
