Our take on this /// Verdict

The Yamaha R15 V3, particularly in the Racing Blue edition, is a standout in the 150cc sports bike segment in India. This bike has won the hearts of many with its exceptional performance, thanks to its 155.1cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology. The VVA system enhances the engines performance across various speed ranges, making it a joy to ride whether youre cruising through city streets or carving through corners on the highway. The 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch add to the bikes versatility and ease of use. While the aggressive riding posture can be a bit taxing for long rides, the overall package of superior performance, good mileage, and outstanding looks makes it a clear winner. However, its important to note that the R15 V3 has been discontinued, so if youre considering this bike, you might need to look into the used market or newer models like the R15 V4.

Price

The Yamaha R15 V3, before its discontinuation, was priced around Rs 1.59 lakh ex-showroom in India. When considering the on-road price, you would need to add costs such as registration, insurance, and other local taxes, which could push the price up to around Rs 1.8 lakh to Rs 2 lakh, depending on the state and local regulations. Given its features and performance, the R15 V3 was competitively priced in the sports bike segment. However, since it is no longer in production, prices in the used market may vary based on the bikes condition, mileage, and other factors.

Yamaha R15 V3 on-road price is Rs 1.76 lakh in Delhi, Rs 1.82 lakh in Mumbai, Rs 1.78 lakh in Kolkata and Rs 1.81 lakh in Chennai. The prices mentioned here are approximate and we suggest you contact your nearest Yamaha dealership to get the exact on-road price quote in your city.

It includes Ex-Showroom Price in your city + RTO Charges (Vehicle Registration) + One Time Road Tax + Insurance Charges. The On-Road Price also includes some optional things like if you opt for Genuine Accessories and Extended Warranty while buying a vehicle. Please note that the On-Road Price varies a lot across different states in India due to different percentage for the State Registration Charges.
