Yamaha R15 Fiery Red

About
The Yamaha R15 Fiery Red is a special edition of the R15 V2.0, known for its striking red shade with flame decals on both sides. This bike is powered by a 149.8 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke engine that produces 17 PS of power at 8500 rpm and 15 Nm of torque at 7500 rpm. It features a 6-speed gearbox and comes with a range of sporty elements such as an aggressively upswept silencer, split saddle, and chunky rear tire. The bikes design is inspired by Yamahas higher-end R series, making it a head-turner on the road. With its excellent handling, grippy MRF tires, and strong braking system, the R15 Fiery Red is ideal for riders who enjoy the thrill of sporty riding while still maintaining practicality for daily use. The bikes instrument cluster and switchgear are well-built, and the overall quality is impressive, although it lacks ABS and can generate excessive engine heat.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Yamaha R15 Fiery Red is a standout in the 150cc segment, particularly for its sleek design and robust performance. This bike is a treat for enthusiasts who crave a sporty riding experience without breaking the bank. The R15 V2.0, which the Fiery Red edition is based on, boasts a 149.8 cc liquid-cooled engine that delivers 17 PS of power and 15 Nm of torque, making it one of the fastest bikes in its class. The handling is exceptional, thanks to Yamahas Deltabox frame and the new aluminum swingarm, which provides stability and agility even at high speeds. However, the bikes comfort is compromised due to its racer-oriented riding position, and the lack of ABS is a notable omission. Overall, its a great choice for those who prioritize performance and style.
Price
When the Yamaha R15 V2.0 was launched, the ex-showroom price was around 118,000. However, prices can vary based on the state and local taxes, which would push the on-road price to approximately 130,000 to 140,000. For the Fiery Red edition, there might be a slight premium due to its exclusive nature, but this would still be within the same ballpark figure. Considering the features and performance it offers, the price is reasonable, especially for those who are looking for a sporty bike that doesnt compromise on quality and handling.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 06:15 PM The Yamaha R15 V2.0 offers a respectable mileage of around 40 kmliter, which is commendable given its performance-oriented engine.

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.

Most powerful 150cc bike

RANJITH - | 4 years ago

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

Sharoan Satyajith | 6 years ago

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
