                  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.
