  • A clever bike

    5 years ago


    Prakash Devnani

    I'd purchased this bike previous year in august at awesome rate of 75 k (second hand bike). This is an amazing bike for riding, the riding posture is not so weird like ktm neither so official riding posture, also i would like to mention that it is self balanced bike, it can drift, cornering can be done easily in these sense it is a clever bike. The engine voice will boost the morning, the 114 km/hr will make morning energetic, the riding posture will generate a environment of actual race.The design and looks of the bike is extremely appreciable as the butterfly eyes, the broad look of bike actually reveals that some elegant person is going to arrive, the performance of the bike can't be illustrated just this bike is so clever that it will avoid the accidents (as my bike squid but not slips, it provide a better way for cornering i.E. Bending of the bike at the peak). The average of this bike 38 kmpl which I've actually noticed as i'm a middle class belonging person.The servicing is somewhat expensive the total servicing along with oil change it nearly costs me around 1200 quarterly. Also the insurance fee is deducted every year. As much you maintain anything as much trust is developed.Pros of this bike are many just i would like to mention few cons:The pillion seat is not suitable for senior citizens, my mom and few relative have refused many a times visiting anywhere through this bike.Longer distance travelling is somewhat tedious as it starts back pain, but i'm habitual now-a-days.This bike is for riders not for the losers.Thanks for reading

  • Full sporty bike with great comfort and looks

    4 years ago


    Dev Sharma

    Nice sports bike, awesome handling, great look good for small distance daily commute. Good mileage. R15s is for family persons and boys both. 3 persons can sit normally and ladies can also sit comfortably because of uni-body single seat. I recommend it to those who want their family(ladies) to sit with you on this bike.

  • Yamaha r 15 v-2.0 review after 4 years ride experience

    6 years ago


    Manjul Kumar

    It's good bike for single ride, body balance is so good. Pillion ride is not comfortable but yamaha solved the issue with r15 s. Engine and mileage is good if service done on time. Good bike for Indian roads. Always wear quality helmet and safety gears while riding with this bike. Best feature is dual head lamp is good for night rides.

  • Young Indian sport bike !

    3 years ago


    Abhishek Pal

    This bike is one of them , that every young Indian dreamed. I am owning this bike from last 5 years and still I can surely commit that this is best bike in 150cc segment. this is first sport bike in India which comes with best in speed , performance and successful in between Indian youths , one thing I love about this bike is that anyone can afford it and can buy it still and one thing that I have experienced that if you kept this bike properly and provide it regular service, then after riding 30000 km still my engine is working fine and one more thing in my experience, I can say that no other bike can compete it in 150cc segments in any of form factors whether we talk about speed, thrust, power it deliver and in style also.

  • Affordable sports bike

    6 years ago


    Chethan Devadiga

    Yamaha r15 provides you with good sports look and best riding experience . Engine power went cool for first year and later on power decreases and performance may decrease with durability. Company makes a good service but cost will be a bit higher always

    Pros. Bike and power looks good with grip

    Cons. Chain complaint bike with errors in suspension and gear after a year.

  • Why r15 rule

    6 years ago


    Mandeep Dabas

    Buying experience is good, riding experience is great as it has best handling in its class, it still one of the best looking bike available in the market, performance wise it can reach maximum speed of 145kmph and it handles superb as it has perimeter frame (which is suit for best handling). Acceleration is just average but braking is very good.

  • Yamaha r15 definitely a dream machine

    6 years ago


    Jagdeesh Kanduri

    I have an r15 2008 model, purchased it in the initial launch, wonderful engine, and very comfortable ride, initially it was very tough to get it serviced as spare parts were not even available at authorised service centres, had to wait for 2 to 3 days to get it done, frequent complaint with chain sprocket, chains loosens every time, i have changed it 4 times till now, in 9 years. Rest all experience is good and you'll definitely enjoy the ride.

  • Young Indian sport bike !

    3 years ago


    Abhishek Pal

    This bike is one of them , that every young Indian dreamed. I am owning this bike from last 5 years and still I can surely commit that this is best bike in 150cc segment. this is first sport bike in India which comes with best in speed , performance and successful in between Indian youths , one thing I love about this bike is that anyone can afford it and can buy it still and one thing that I have experienced that if you kept this bike properly and provide it regular service, then after riding 30000 km still my engine is working fine and one more thing in my experience, I can say that no other bike can compete it in 150cc segments in any of form factors whether we talk about speed, thrust, power it deliver and in style also.

  • Affordable sports bike

    6 years ago


    Chethan Devadiga

    Yamaha r15 provides you with good sports look and best riding experience . Engine power went cool for first year and later on power decreases and performance may decrease with durability. Company makes a good service but cost will be a bit higher always

    Pros. Bike and power looks good with grip

    Cons. Chain complaint bike with errors in suspension and gear after a year.

  • Why r15 rule

    6 years ago


    Mandeep Dabas

    Buying experience is good, riding experience is great as it has best handling in its class, it still one of the best looking bike available in the market, performance wise it can reach maximum speed of 145kmph and it handles superb as it has perimeter frame (which is suit for best handling). Acceleration is just average but braking is very good.

    Mithlesh Kumar Meena

    The name of my favourite bike is yamaha r15. I bought this bike 5 years ago.Before this i used to travel on the bus, but after buying this bike my life changed significantly.This bike is not very expensive , yet it provides all the good features which a person might from a sport bike , but whenever it is parked somewhere i feel good. Yamha r15 have strength, suitability, adaptability.

    This bike have low maintenance cost and lots of mileage in this category.

    I am a bike enthusiast,there's a certain amount of romance to bikes.They're both beautiful and utilitarian.

  • Yamaha r15 definitely a dream machine

    6 years ago


    Jagdeesh Kanduri

    I have an r15 2008 model, purchased it in the initial launch, wonderful engine, and very comfortable ride, initially it was very tough to get it serviced as spare parts were not even available at authorised service centres, had to wait for 2 to 3 days to get it done, frequent complaint with chain sprocket, chains loosens every time, i have changed it 4 times till now, in 9 years. Rest all experience is good and you'll definitely enjoy the ride.

  • A clever bike

    5 years ago


    Prakash Devnani

    I'd purchased this bike previous year in august at awesome rate of 75 k (second hand bike). This is an amazing bike for riding, the riding posture is not so weird like ktm neither so official riding posture, also i would like to mention that it is self balanced bike, it can drift, cornering can be done easily in these sense it is a clever bike. The engine voice will boost the morning, the 114 km/hr will make morning energetic, the riding posture will generate a environment of actual race.The design and looks of the bike is extremely appreciable as the butterfly eyes, the broad look of bike actually reveals that some elegant person is going to arrive, the performance of the bike can't be illustrated just this bike is so clever that it will avoid the accidents (as my bike squid but not slips, it provide a better way for cornering i.E. Bending of the bike at the peak). The average of this bike 38 kmpl which I've actually noticed as i'm a middle class belonging person.The servicing is somewhat expensive the total servicing along with oil change it nearly costs me around 1200 quarterly. Also the insurance fee is deducted every year. As much you maintain anything as much trust is developed.Pros of this bike are many just i would like to mention few cons:The pillion seat is not suitable for senior citizens, my mom and few relative have refused many a times visiting anywhere through this bike.Longer distance travelling is somewhat tedious as it starts back pain, but i'm habitual now-a-days.This bike is for riders not for the losers.Thanks for reading

  • Full sporty bike with great comfort and looks

    4 years ago


    Dev Sharma

    Nice sports bike, awesome handling, great look good for small distance daily commute. Good mileage. R15s is for family persons and boys both. 3 persons can sit normally and ladies can also sit comfortably because of uni-body single seat. I recommend it to those who want their family(ladies) to sit with you on this bike.

  • Yamaha r 15 v-2.0 review after 4 years ride experience

    6 years ago


    Manjul Kumar

    It's good bike for single ride, body balance is so good. Pillion ride is not comfortable but yamaha solved the issue with r15 s. Engine and mileage is good if service done on time. Good bike for Indian roads. Always wear quality helmet and safety gears while riding with this bike. Best feature is dual head lamp is good for night rides.
