Yamaha R15 V1 Review
Quick Review by Maxabout Team
Yamaha introduced the pure lightweight sports bike experience through its R15 in India. The feel is so different that no other bike can even be compared to this R series DNA and from its launch date to the present time, it is simply unbeatable. The first generation of R15 was the most loved version of the sports bike, balancing the practicality and performance on a single platform. YZF-R15, as the company named it, is a 149.8 cc, 1-cylinder, liquid cooled and fuel injected machine producing 16.8 BHP @ 8500 rpm and 15 NM @ 7500 rpm. At its time of launch, 150 cc machines were supposed to produce 12-13 BHP and fuel injection was a dream for Indian bikes. The bike came with a 6-speed transmission, which too was a fascination with an Indian made bike till that time.
The R15 version 1.0 comes with a fully faired design and uses a twin headlight structure at the front. It is one of the best looking designs in India and this tag is carried with it even in its current generation. It gets a perfect aerodynamic design with a single, long seat for the comfortable 2-person ride. The rear end gets a stretched mudguard and it comes in eye-catching bright as well as dark and mature shades. The semi-digital instrument console can be considered as the best of its time and the first generation of R15 was a true example of 'India first' engineering by Yamaha. Yamaha retails the second generation named R15 version 2.0 for its lightweight sports bike category.
The R15 V2 gets split seats, new exhaust system and a tyre hugger for the rear wheel. It looks sportier and comes with a premium track bike essence. Recently, R15S has been launched in the Indian automobile market. The bike carries across DNA resemblance to both the versions but retails as an independent variant. It carries the ease of version 1.0 with the technical update of the second version.

User Reviews for Yamaha R15 (OLD)
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
Wrost Bike . I think I had 2 go 4 cbr 250r. I hav purchased it in oct 2015 its monoshok got damaged
1. My R15 v2 gets it mono shock damage in only 5000 km. 2. In the engine oil shield is also poor quality engine oil lick in drops from my bike. 3. When i got to showroom for those problems they tell they do nothing in free all problems charges Rs 3000 4. Headlight is worst in night condition .I had changed it with led white. 5. Worst sitting condition, pillion rider is like sitting on a rock. 6. Its radiator don't starts in extreme temp .n starts when u r in ideal n engine was not on heat. 7. Yamaha is MotoGP company how Yamaha has made a bike like this.
Best Features: I think honda cbr is best in its class ..
Pros: Nothing special in this bike u all should go for Thunderbird or honda cbr .plzz frnds dont buy it.
Cons: Its sitting condition is very dump ur hands n back get pain after riding 50km only
