User Reviews for Yamaha R15 (OLD)
Yamaha R15 V1
I had Yamaha R15 V1. It is running around one lakh 45 thousands km according to the calculation of 2nd speedometer and complete 13 years, and still in perfect condition. I touched 145 at long stretch highway. Am the first owner, it was dream sports bike at that time. And many more km to clock on it. It was a best motorcycle in motorcycle history. Yamaha is always my favorite brand. Because my father had rx100 Rajdoot edition it's was completed 47 years still in condition and one kick start. I wish again R15 V1 model launch in market with more power, more modern technology with high cc engine.
Best 150cc bike ever.
Even the stock tyres are excellent on the R15. You won't feel like something is missing from this package.
Best Features: Brakes and agility to switch in tight corners.
Pros: Agility, Aerodynamic, Progressive brake bite, R series delta box frame.
Cons: From my opinion, there are no cons
Most powerful 150cc bike
Some people says that this bike has poor mileage and high maintenance. Yamaha has given everything that one can expect in a 150cc bike. It will cost more because you get fuel injection, 6 gears, deltabox frame, liquid cooled engine and much more than standard 150cc bikes.
Best Features: High & Low end Torque, Responsive yet Refined engine
Pros: Best in class build quality, performance
Cons: Headlight, Pillion seat
Sexiest 150cc bike in india
Initial pick up is great but the end performance is not up to mark. The only drawback is the headlight which is attractive but not effective during the night. It is an eye-catcher on the road.
Best Features: Aerodynamic and low end torque!!
Pros: Low end torque, aerodynamic fairing and built quality.
Cons: Not comfortable, worst headlights
Yamaha R15 is best product that your money can buy
I was confused between RS200 and R15. Then took test drive of both bikes. RS 200 is very comfortable in sitting and seat comfort. The only downside of this bike is engine reliability and harshness. Front visor of RS200 starts rattling after sometime which is very annoying.
Best Features: No vibrations at all throughout the rev range
Pros: Styling, engine refinement
Cons: Rear seat is a challenge for pillion rider
