About the Reviewer

Good riding experience from my friends r15 v4. Comfort riding. Smooth . Fuel efficiency is great. Got nearly 105km mileage from 2 litres. Great fuel efficient bike. Simply awesome comparing v3 power is slightly less.. But smooth riding experience. Great choice for those who are looking for great mileage and design and best choice on 150cc bike

About the Reviewer

1.Buying experience- in Trichy , bike delivery time will be around one and half months they said, then I went to karaikudi and I got this as my birthday gift(self-gift)
2. Riding experience- for city drive -this bike is best for all segments (gear shifting, suspension, braking, speed). For highways, as all we know the position is so hard to drive, at first I went on some highway rides, and I felt so hard with heavy back pain and also with my hands. When it comes to speed, the bike is giving the best riding experience with stability and braking, we will ride with full confidence. The pillion seat is fine and good, still, a mom struggling.
3. Looks - looks wise, everyone will stare and starts asking me the price and details.100 marks to the looks. And also when it comes to performance,aww what a bike!I have never felt any lag in my bike , ultimate performance in all segments.
4. Not serviced since 800+ droved.
5. Pros- performance, speed, looks, quick shifting is so soft even compared with clutch braking, mileage, I am getting a mileage around 50 km , bike shows more than that still I am getting 50kms. I am so happy about that. For display, I am giving 120 marks out of 100%. It shows all the info and also we can able to edit, change some options.
Cons - back pain and hand pain (highway rides, when you ride 100,200 km).

About the Reviewer

Best bike for teenagers and its stunning looks are amazing, it has a high road presence at the same time, if you are not sitting in the correct position it is the devil for you, mileage is 44plus guarantee according to your acceleration, and your maintenance they vary, be safe and drive friends, don't do the top speed test and mileage test initially.

About the Reviewer

Say hello to the yamaha r15 v4. Unlike the last generation, yamaha hasn’t watered it down for India. Remember how we never got used like other markets did? that’s changed! we get the real deal! the bike also brings with it significant design changes and you could easily mistake it for the new r7. Along with that you also get segment-first features like a quick shifter and traction control and with that it has also become the most expensive r15 to date. There are also a bunch of variants to choose from — standard colour schemes where the quick shifter is optional, the racing blue colour scheme which we are reviewing that gets all the bells and whistles and the r15m and motogp edition colour ways, also fully-loaded.
The r15 v4 is a gorgeous looking machine. It gets a redesigned front end and the bike now resembles the bigger r7 and for that, it gets a big thumbs up. The fairing design is more than just a cosmetic update. The bike is now more aerodynamic with a lower drag coefficient and it offers better wind protection too. In the flesh, the motorcycle looks imposing too! especially if you keep it next to the r15 v3. In the new fairing also sits a new bi-function led projector headlamp with new drls on either side, Reminiscent of the ones found on the r7 and r6. This new setup does a great job of illuminating the road ahead of you and i barely found the need to use high-beam.
Start taking a few steps back and the bike starts to look familiar again. It has the same rear section as the r15 v3 and i’m not complaining. The design is cohesive and it works well together, though the pillion seat is still one floor high and your date won’t be particularly happy about that. Now the r15 v4 is available in a few colour schemes, namely metallic red, dark knight and this racing blue variant you see here. The racing blue variant costs around Rs 6000 more than the standard colour way and for that you also get the quick shifter which is standard on the r15m and moto gp editions. Yamaha has decided not to mess with the engine on the r15 and has stuck with the same 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that gets vva. It continues to make 18.1bhp although it does now make its peak torque of 14.1nm a 1000rpm earlier. Now in terms of performance, the engine is not one that will blow your mind with its acceleration or power delivery. But it definitely is involving to ride. The vva system works as advertised and helps in giving the bike a wider power band and that along with the peak torque being delivered slightly earlier makes the bike more forgiving to ride allowing you to carry a gear higher into a corner, while still getting a decent amount of drive out of a corner. The engine continues to be mated to a six-speed gearbox and gets the same slip and assist clutch ensuring a light and easy to operate clutch lever. Since this is the racing blue colour scheme, it gets a quick shifter as standard. It is optional on the standard colour schemes but comes as standard kit for the r15m and moto gp editions. The quick shifter is not a gimmick. It works above 2000rpm and 20kmph and is rather smooth when shifting higher up in the rev range. The shifts are however slightly clunky if done when the tacho needle is in the lower end of the range so you’ll be better off using the clutch for the slow speed shifts. Continuing with the theme of rider aids, the r15 v4 (all variants) get a traction control system as standard. Thankfully, the system is pretty non-intrusive and you can see the tc indicator light come on if you are a little extra generous with your throttle input on loose surfaces. You can also switch the system off altogether. But it is nice to see manufacturer's spec ‘entry-level’ bikes like the r15 with kit like this, something you’d otherwise only find on significantly higher-performance vehicles. The r15 v4 now gets usd forks. Something that was missing on the v3 despite it being standard equipment on the international variants of the same. Now, in theory, a usd setup is bound to work better because the setup is more rigid and less prone to flexing under load, considering the outer tubes are what the triple clap is mounted on. But how does it work? well, the bike is on the stiffer side to better go with the sporty intent of the bike. This stiffer setup paired with the delta box frame that we all know and love is something that you will really appreciate when you take the bike to a race track or to your favourite set of twistiness. The bike is quick with direction changes, planted when fully leaned over and knows how to hold a line. Now, despite the suspension setup being set up for sport application, the bike does a good job of soaking up bumps and potholes without sending shocks down your spine. Now, with the v4, yamaha has tried to make the bike a little easier to live with. First with the better wind protection and then the clip on s. They have been pushed out and made wider meaning that they are easier to reach and put less strain on your body. This also means that you need to put in less effort to tip the bike into a corner with the added leverage of wider bars. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying this is as comfortable as a naked bike, but it is just a touch easier to live with. One thing the bike would certainly benefit from however and this isn’t a costly upgrade either are tank grips. The redesigned tank is nice and roomy and will properly accommodate even taller riders. But the surface is extremely slippery and you can’t hold on to it with your knees for too long without it constantly sliding off. This is where the tank grips would come into play allowing you to better grip the tank and keep your upper body relatively relaxed. But then again this won’t be too expensive a fix what with so many aftermarket solutions available. Another chink in the r15 v4s armor would be its braking. The front brake seems to have decent initial bite and feedback but over the course of a few kilometers, you lose quite a bit of your braking performance thanks to brake fade and the feel at the lever starts to become rather spongy. Even the abs kicks in a little earlier than i would like. Now in terms of features, the bike comes with a new instrument cluster that displays more information and also gets a dedicated track mode that showcases things like a lap timer and a tachometer that starts at 6000rpm just like the flagship — the yamaha r1. The cluster is now also bluetooth enabled allowing you to pair your smartphone for notifications and such. The yamaha link app also shows your information like last parked location and bike health history which is nice but the bike does miss out on turn-by-turn navigation which is something yamaha could have added. Interestingly the buttons to toggle through the different readouts and to switch between street and track mode are mounted on the handlebar instead of on the cluster itself. Neat feature, this. Apart from this, the bike gets features like the quick shifter, traction control and the new led headlamp unit. But it still doesn’t get led indicators as standard. Which is definitely a miss. talking about price, the yamaha r15 v4 is a solid update that brings a lot of worthwhile upgrades to the table, bits like usd forks, a quick shifter, traction control and modern styling. All this for anywhere between rs 10-15 thousand more than the v3 depending on which variant you get (the racing blue r15 v4 costs rs 1.75 lakh ex-showroom). For all the extra goodies you get on the bike i feel that the premium yamaha is demanding for the v4 is justified. The bike also sits in a sweet spot between the ktm rc 125 and ktm rc 200. So in that sense, the yamaha r15 v4 is a great buy and still remains a great tool to hone your track riding skills, and one that is uncompromising on the performance front.

About the Reviewer

Yamaha's are known for their bikes that are not only refined, serious, and other things but they are always the segment leader or rather lead a segment above. They give a decent experience on buying and services. As an owner the only con that I could have said when I was purchasing the bike was it being expensive. But after that initial head scratch, you will realize that it is worth every single penny you've spent on it. If you want one just buy one.

For all the extra goodies you get on the bike i feel that the premium yamaha is demanding for the v4 is justified. The bike also sits in a sweet spot between the ktm rc 125 and ktm rc 200. So in that sense, the yamaha r15 v4 is a great buy and still remains a great tool to hone your track riding skills, and one that is uncompromising on the performance front.

About the Reviewer

Yamaha's are known for their bikes that are not only refined, serious, and other things but they are always the segment leader or rather lead a segment above. They give a decent experience on buying and services. As an owner the only con that I could have said when I was purchasing the bike was it being expensive. But after that initial head scratch, you will realize that it is worth every single penny you've spent on it. If you want one just buy one.

About the Reviewer

1.Buying experience- in Trichy , bike delivery time will be around one and half months they said, then I went to karaikudi and I got this as my birthday gift(self-gift)
2. Riding experience- for city drive -this bike is best for all segments (gear shifting, suspension, braking, speed). For highways, as all we know the position is so hard to drive, at first I went on some highway rides, and I felt so hard with heavy back pain and also with my hands. When it comes to speed, the bike is giving the best riding experience with stability and braking, we will ride with full confidence. The pillion seat is fine and good, still, a mom struggling.
3. Looks - looks wise, everyone will stare and starts asking me the price and details.100 marks to the looks. And also when it comes to performance,aww what a bike!I have never felt any lag in my bike , ultimate performance in all segments.
4. Not serviced since 800+ droved.
5. Pros- performance, speed, looks, quick shifting is so soft even compared with clutch braking, mileage, I am getting a mileage around 50 km , bike shows more than that still I am getting 50kms. I am so happy about that. For display, I am giving 120 marks out of 100%. It shows all the info and also we can able to edit, change some options.
Cons - back pain and hand pain (highway rides, when you ride 100,200 km).

Best bike for teenagers and its stunning looks are amazing, it has a high road presence at the same time, if you are not sitting in the correct position it is the devil for you, mileage is 44plus guarantee according to your acceleration, and your maintenance they vary, be safe and drive friends, don't do the top speed test and mileage test initially.

Say hello to the yamaha r15 v4. Unlike the last generation, yamaha hasn’t watered it down for India. Remember how we never got used like other markets did? that’s changed! we get the real deal! the bike also brings with it significant design changes and you could easily mistake it for the new r7. Along with that you also get segment-first features like a quick shifter and traction control and with that it has also become the most expensive r15 to date. There are also a bunch of variants to choose from — standard colour schemes where the quick shifter is optional, the racing blue colour scheme which we are reviewing that gets all the bells and whistles and the r15m and motogp edition colour ways, also fully-loaded.
The r15 v4 is a gorgeous looking machine. It gets a redesigned front end and the bike now resembles the bigger r7 and for that, it gets a big thumbs up. The fairing design is more than just a cosmetic update. The bike is now more aerodynamic with a lower drag coefficient and it offers better wind protection too. In the flesh, the motorcycle looks imposing too! especially if you keep it next to the r15 v3. In the new fairing also sits a new bi-function led projector headlamp with new drls on either side, Reminiscent of the ones found on the r7 and r6. This new setup does a great job of illuminating the road ahead of you and i barely found the need to use high-beam.
Start taking a few steps back and the bike starts to look familiar again. It has the same rear section as the r15 v3 and i’m not complaining. The design is cohesive and it works well together, though the pillion seat is still one floor high and your date won’t be particularly happy about that. Now the r15 v4 is available in a few colour schemes, namely metallic red, dark knight and this racing blue variant you see here. The racing blue variant costs around Rs 6000 more than the standard colour way and for that you also get the quick shifter which is standard on the r15m and moto gp editions. Yamaha has decided not to mess with the engine on the r15 and has stuck with the same 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that gets vva. It continues to make 18.1bhp although it does now make its peak torque of 14.1nm a 1000rpm earlier. Now in terms of performance, the engine is not one that will blow your mind with its acceleration or power delivery. But it definitely is involving to ride. The vva system works as advertised and helps in giving the bike a wider power band and that along with the peak torque being delivered slightly earlier makes the bike more forgiving to ride allowing you to carry a gear higher into a corner, while still getting a decent amount of drive out of a corner. The engine continues to be mated to a six-speed gearbox and gets the same slip and assist clutch ensuring a light and easy to operate clutch lever. Since this is the racing blue colour scheme, it gets a quick shifter as standard. It is optional on the standard colour schemes but comes as standard kit for the r15m and moto gp editions. The quick shifter is not a gimmick. It works above 2000rpm and 20kmph and is rather smooth when shifting higher up in the rev range. The shifts are however slightly clunky if done when the tacho needle is in the lower end of the range so you’ll be better off using the clutch for the slow speed shifts. Continuing with the theme of rider aids, the r15 v4 (all variants) get a traction control system as standard. Thankfully, the system is pretty non-intrusive and you can see the tc indicator light come on if you are a little extra generous with your throttle input on loose surfaces. You can also switch the system off altogether. But it is nice to see manufacturer's spec ‘entry-level’ bikes like the r15 with kit like this, something you’d otherwise only find on significantly higher-performance vehicles. The r15 v4 now gets usd forks. Something that was missing on the v3 despite it being standard equipment on the international variants of the same. Now, in theory, a usd setup is bound to work better because the setup is more rigid and less prone to flexing under load, considering the outer tubes are what the triple clap is mounted on. But how does it work? well, the bike is on the stiffer side to better go with the sporty intent of the bike. This stiffer setup paired with the delta box frame that we all know and love is something that you will really appreciate when you take the bike to a race track or to your favourite set of twistiness. The bike is quick with direction changes, planted when fully leaned over and knows how to hold a line. Now, despite the suspension setup being set up for sport application, the bike does a good job of soaking up bumps and potholes without sending shocks down your spine. Now, with the v4, yamaha has tried to make the bike a little easier to live with. First with the better wind protection and then the clip on s. They have been pushed out and made wider meaning that they are easier to reach and put less strain on your body. This also means that you need to put in less effort to tip the bike into a corner with the added leverage of wider bars. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying this is as comfortable as a naked bike, but it is just a touch easier to live with. One thing the bike would certainly benefit from however and this isn’t a costly upgrade either are tank grips. The redesigned tank is nice and roomy and will properly accommodate even taller riders. But the surface is extremely slippery and you can’t hold on to it with your knees for too long without it constantly sliding off. This is where the tank grips would come into play allowing you to better grip the tank and keep your upper body relatively relaxed. But then again this won’t be too expensive a fix what with so many aftermarket solutions available. Another chink in the r15 v4s armor would be its braking. The front brake seems to have decent initial bite and feedback but over the course of a few kilometers, you lose quite a bit of your braking performance thanks to brake fade and the feel at the lever starts to become rather spongy. Even the abs kicks in a little earlier than i would like. Now in terms of features, the bike comes with a new instrument cluster that displays more information and also gets a dedicated track mode that showcases things like a lap timer and a tachometer that starts at 6000rpm just like the flagship — the yamaha r1. The cluster is now also bluetooth enabled allowing you to pair your smartphone for notifications and such. The yamaha link app also shows your information like last parked location and bike health history which is nice but the bike does miss out on turn-by-turn navigation which is something yamaha could have added. Interestingly the buttons to toggle through the different readouts and to switch between street and track mode are mounted on the handlebar instead of on the cluster itself. Neat feature, this. Apart from this, the bike gets features like the quick shifter, traction control and the new led headlamp unit. But it still doesn’t get led indicators as standard. Which is definitely a miss. talking about price, the yamaha r15 v4 is a solid update that brings a lot of worthwhile upgrades to the table, bits like usd forks, a quick shifter, traction control and modern styling. All this for anywhere between rs 10-15 thousand more than the v3 depending on which variant you get (the racing blue r15 v4 costs rs 1.75 lakh ex-showroom). For all the extra goodies you get on the bike i feel that the premium yamaha is demanding for the v4 is justified. The bike also sits in a sweet spot between the ktm rc 125 and ktm rc 200. So in that sense, the yamaha r15 v4 is a great buy and still remains a great tool to hone your track riding skills, and one that is uncompromising on the performance front.
