Sunday, 03 September 2023 06:15 PM Yamaha has discontinued the Yamaha R15 V3 Darknight Edition, and the bike is no longer in production. This decision marks the end of an era for a bike that was known for its sleek dark design and performance. I believe this move will be missed by many fans of the R15 series.

This engine setup made it one of the most powerful 155cc sports motorcycles in the Indian market. I think the VVA technology was a game-changer for this bikes performance.

My Journey with R15 V3

amardeep singh | 3 years ago

It was the year 2018, My Bajaj Pulsar had completed 15 years, so I was looking on the net for a new bike. When I saw it for the first time, an arrow of love went across my heart, although it had some shortcomings, in spite of this, I bought it and thought whatever will happen will be seen, the only drawback was only the headlight and riding position. Today is the month of 2021 September and today I am claiming that there is no match for it. I have taken it on the hills, on the highways, and on the rough village roads, but its performance is amazing, although the riding position is so aggressive that it hurts in the back but the performance is such that this thing is forgivable, I do exercise continuously to keep me fit to ride this beast and that's why I am fit because this bike is for the youth and for long running you must be fit as youth to ride it, so today I am also fit because of it, thank you for this. Good mileage, superior performance, looks, good reliable engine make it a clear winner wherever you go. This is my journey with R15 V3.

Best Features: After VVA activation it behave like a superbike and slipper clutch at high speed is just awesome.

Pros: Good mileage, superior performance, outstanding looks, reliable engine

Cons: Head light throw, Aggressive Position
