                  r15v4 the beast
                  I had a brother who likes riding this old r15 and I was small and didn't knew any super bikes at all and this was my first super bike which had all sharpnes at edges, the colour, the speed, it had some personality. Its been amazing by so far, smooth, light weight. Its top speed is pretty good. It gives good mileage. It is very nice for long rides. Performance of the bike is so good. Suspensions works very well on road. Yes for sure but take my opinion and explore different bike, It may have something that this bike wouldn't have that charm but you can go for it if you want sporty look and a good racing bike. Its nice.

                  r15 V4 Review
                  The r15 v4 has the old punch while handling the BS6 engine with good aerodynamics and aggressive seating position. Its very easy to reach 140+ with default setting while it was not made for the long drive push, we can try the limits where I've driven around 25,000km in the same bike as well. I love it as my soul.

                  BEST BIKE IN THIS RANGE.
                  Best bike in this range, sporty looks, very good mileage, been riding it since 3 years without an issue, been to mountains and express ways with no tension at all. Regularly service and well maintained, best purchase of my life. Perfect brakes system and handling, racing blue colour cheery on top, great bike.

                  Yamaha r15 v4 is a great fully faired sports bike
                  The reason i chose this bike was quite a story in short, i was a student who was about get in college and i needed a bike to travel a quite moderate distance. When i was searching for a bike which is highly affordable as well as stylish on the looks and has great features too! Then i came across this masterpiece which was totally worth it. The ride is great so far. But there are few factors to look for if a beginner is going to buy this bike, as a fully fair bike the biggest issue would be comfort on long ride eg. Posture issue because of the aggressive stance fully fair bikes usually have. But for the short to moderate distance its great soo far. And handling also good, and mileage is better than expected. One more thing to consider, if someone lives in a crowded city like area they can this as this bike isn't a street fighter or naked body bike for city specific conditions. I would absolutely recommend this bike to even a beginner who want to get a thrilling ride experience of a fully fair bike at price rang as low as this, mileage also great compared to other similar bikes, great handling too, maintenance is also fairly rated i would say, totally worth it!

                  i love this brand and specially this Yamaha r15
                  this is not a bike its a dream of every boys and this r15 is a not a model of Yamaha this is us emotion and the r 15 is a legacy and the main point is this look mileage and the segment killer up to 250cc. mileage good looks is too much good and maintain easily and but the top model like M and monster edition you got a good futuristic display and the graphic of sticker are good and you after sitting this bike you feel like you sit a super bike and i got for my r15 bike 42 to 49 mileage. most recommended i love this brand and there all bike are good and you can afford this bike and good quality and value for money you can buy this beast and enjoy your ride this bike and stay safe all time wear helmet.

                  Nothing special only for looks. This bikes comes in a decent adventures looks which attracted my for have a test drive and after the ride I was sure that I should go for this bike. Because it fulfilled my needs. I made a ride 164 km that is the widest rage I ran this bike and if you ask the experience is quite good and decent. In shorts I love this bike speed because even in high air flow area this bike stands with smooth bike. I am recommending this bike because this bike easy to handle and performs really good and also gives a smooth experience. For a rider this is necessary that bike should give a smooth texture and no pain while riding. And this comes under all my expertise. So that's it.

                  Not too exciting bit no complains
                  It was easy and good so far I am satisfied sometimes I am just worried if something gets wrong while i am riding in between cities what will happen as ultraviolet service centers are not every where and no one touches electric bikes and will ultraviolet provide on road assistance. Apart from that so far I have had no complaints.

                  Value and specifications
                  Superb bike with a great value brings top speed of 120km/h with it. Worth to buy. It is a good choice in mountain bikes but the thing is charging in remote areas. But according to price and specifications it fits its standards. Most of the rally bikes are expensive and have less mileage. I am gonna buy this!
