Yamaha R15 V4 Review
Detailed Review by Maxabout Team
Overview
The Yamaha YZF-R15 can easily feature on the list of most popular motorcycles sold in India. A very potent 150cc engine, a phenomenal delta box frame and a very sporty styling were a few quality features of the Yamaha R15 which had truly blown the minds of the customers back in 2008 when it was first introduced. And over its 14 years of lifespan, the motorcycle has only gotten better. Now, for 2022, Yamaha has introduced the fourth version of the R15 with certain changes which promised to make it even more extraordinary.
Yamaha R15 V4 Design and Style
If we talk about the looks, unlike the R15 V3’s dual-LED headlamp layout, the latest-gen R15 V4 series has a single-pod LED headlamp with integrated LED DRLs. The styling of the Yamaha R15 V4 is inspired by the new model of the Yamaha YZF-R7 and its elder sibling, the YZF-R1 and that is pretty evident from its front fascia. So, it gets a nice projector headlamp which is nestled within the central air intake and it is flanked by slim LED DRLs which look like those eyes of a predator. The sculpted fuel tank, the angular fairing and the nice rake tail section get large scoops and all this sporty appearance collectively makes it a true delight for the eyes. However, the most significant change in the new-gen model of Yamaha R15 is the addition of upside-down (USD) front forks, which have replaced the conventional telescopic forks.
Yamaha R15 V4 Engine and Gearbox
The thing that hasn’t really changed in the motorcycle is its power plant. This 155cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine comes equipped with Yamaha’s variable valve actuation. The engine generates 18.4 HP power at 10,000 rpm and a max torque of 14.2 Nm at 7,500 rpm and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The motorcycle is quick in the lower rev band however once it gets past the 4,500 rpm, the engine really comes alive.
Instrument Console of Yamaha R15 V4
2023 Yamaha R15 V4’s instrument cluster continues to be an LCD unit however, the updated console gets Bluetooth connectivity now. It pairs with the rider’s smartphone application, the Yamaha Y-Connect app and provides call, SMS and email alerts while giving phone battery level status as well. The updated display also has a road and a track mode. Overall, the all-digital instrument console is perfect in terms of size and displays a lot of required information.
Yamaha R15 V4 Brakes, Suspension and Tyres
The braking system comprises a 282mm front disc with a twin-piston calliper and a 220mm rear disc with a single-piston calliper. The R15 V4 stands on 17-inch alloys shod with a 100/80-17 front tyre and a 140/70-R17 rear radial tyre. The suspension package carries premium golden coloured upside-down forks at the front end and a monoshock absorber at the rear end.
Key Features of Yamaha R15 V4
Some of the key features of the New Yamaha R15 V4 include - Advanced Fully Digital LCD Meter Console, Assist & Slipper Clutch, Variable Valves Actuation (VVA), Traction Control System, Quick Shifter (Optional), Upside Down Front Forks, Super Wide 140mm Radial Rear Tyre, Side Stand Engine Cut-Off Switch, Y-connect App - Call Alert, SMS & Email, Phone Battery Status, Fuel Consumption Tracker, Maintenance Recommendations, Last Parking Location, Malfunction Notification, Revs Dashboard, Ranking, Dual Horn, Aluminum Swingarm, Class D Bi-Functional LED Headlight, LED Position Lights, Street and Track Riding Modes.
Yamaha R15 V4 Top Speed and Mileage
2023 Yamaha R15 V4 offers a mileage of around 40 kmpl under mixed riding conditions and if we talk about its performance, this sports bike is capable of accelerating from 0-100 kmph in around 10 seconds while the top speed of R15 V4 hovers around 145 kmph.
Yamaha R15 V4 Colour Options
Unlike the previous generation model, the company is offering multiple variants to choose from. The New R15 V4 basic model comes in two colour options including Metallic Red and Dark Knight. These can be equipped with a quick-shifter at an additional cost. The most expensive variants of the R15 V4 is the Racing Blue and Intensity White and it's comes with a quick-shifter as standard.
Yamaha R15 V4 Price Range in India
The price range of All New Yamaha R15 V4 starts at Rs 1.82 lakhs in India for the Metallic Red colour, next comes the Dark Knight edition with a price tag of Rs 1.83 lakhs while the top-spec Racing Blue and Intensity White is available in the Indian markets with an ex-showroom price tag of Rs 1.87 lakhs. If we talk about the on-road prices, R15 V4 on-road price is Rs 2.15 lakh in Delhi, Rs 2.22 lakh in Mumbai, Rs 2.18 lakh in Kolkata and Rs 2.20 lakh in Chennai. The prices mentioned here are approximate and we suggest you contact your nearest Yamaha dealership to get an exact on-road price quote in your city.
Difference Between Ex-Showroom Price & On-Road Price
Ex-Showroom Price is the Manufacturing Cost of the vehicle + Dealer/Seller Profit + GST (Goods and Service Tax) + Transportation Charges (from the manufacturing plant to the dealership). On the other hand, the On-Road Price is the actual cost you pay to the dealership to make the vehicle legal to run on the roads. 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 percentages for the State Registration Charges.
Yamaha R15 V4 Competitors in India
For a similar price, the Yamaha R15 V4 competes with the likes of KTM RC 125, Bajaj Pulsar RS 200, KTM 125 Duke and the Suzuki Gixxer SF250. Other than these, there are no such direct rivals of the bike in the Indian market.
Verdict - Should You Buy Yamaha R15 V4?
The Yamaha R15 was already a fantastic motorcycle for what it is meant for and the changes it has received. It has become an even more enticing proposition. So, while the strong points have been retained there are additional bits like USD forks, traction control, quick shifter, a Bluetooth enabled console and all of these things makes it even fancier.

My Journey with R15 V3
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.

The Yamaha R15 V4 is an ideal motorcycle for a spirited rider, but its stiff ride quality may not be ideal for someone looking for a more comfortable ride. The stiffness of the ride does make it a great choice for those who want to push the limits of their motorcycle, however. The agility and sharp handling of the R15 V4 make it perfect for taking tight turns and the suspension is well-suited for the track. The suspension is adjustable, so it can be tuned to the rider's preference. The braking performance of the R15 V4 is also very impressive, and it can easily bring the bike to a standstill in a short distance.
While the riding posture of the Yamaha R15 V4 is still aggressive, it may be too much for everyday street riding. Coupled with the fact that the pillion seat won't be too comfortable, this may make the R15 V4 a less than ideal choice for long rides.

While the Yamaha R15M is indeed expensive, it is still cheaper than the KTM RC 200. Furthermore, the extra money spent on the R15M is justified in terms of the improved performance it provides. With the new engine, the R15M is capable of accelerating from 0-60 kmph in just 4.4 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 140 kmph. This makes it a great choice for those looking for a high-performance motorcycle.
one of the best front & side view design ever for r15 I have seen, marvelous design.
