Yamaha R15 Top Speed is around 131 kmph. Yamaha R15 is a benchmark of performance and quality in 150cc segment. India never had another 150cc motorcycle that could match the success of Yamaha’s lightweight racer. Powered by a 149cc, liquid cooled and fuel injected engine, R15 is good for 16.8 BHP and 15 Nm of torque. The bikes comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Yamaha R15 is a speed champ with 131 kmph of top speed. The figure is impressive for a 150cc motorcycle. Rivals of this segment are actually much weaker in comparison except Suzuki Gixxer SF, claiming a top speed of 127 kmph.
