Yamaha R15 V4 Ownership Review
I had Completed my 3 years Ownership of R15M V4 one of the best in segment Sports Bike under 2L for that you will get the Performance, Mileage and the stylish design also one and only vehicle to competete with 200 & 250 CC’s with Yamaha’s VVA Technology, Even though I had a less maintenance cost in 3 years as Yamaha Genuine Parts will serve you a parts and spares at affordable cost. a bit disappointing thing was the Comfort and the service, once it all set you are ready for the ride to chase your dreams, best 155 CC for Youngsters.

Thank you so much
I own this bike and i loved it thank you for yahma bike we live in this movement and all thanku you VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) gives a balance of top-end power and low-end torque Great acceleration and top speed for a 155cc bike. Aggressive Riding Posture: Not ideal for daily commuting or long rides (can cause wrist/back pain).
