Good bike under 200cc
It's been 2.5 years I am using this bike, performance it brings is top notch, coming to mileage it around 45km/liter for me . Only issue is the fuel indicator is less accurate, it always shows low fuel. May be because it needs to have atleast 3 literes. On highway it feels amazing to drive this bike. Otherwise great bike.

I have owned many yamaha
I have owned many yamaha bikes , and all the time I am surprised by how the bike provides such a nice structure as well as maintain speed up to its name it's almost unbearable to know that people switch from sports to cruiser, I have had my accidents in my entirety of life of 35 years but it still hasn't been able to shake off my feeling for this fast and adventurous bike .

Sporty economical machine
Poor buying experience in showroom but the bike is simply awsome u don't even regret a single time and it's a best overall performance bike with a complete package. Looks was amazing and it attracts eyes of many and cops too and the riding posture may cause some back pain for someone's other wise r15v3 is a tremendous machine which is the best sporty economical machine till today.
