The Icon Performance is a new colour scheme. It gets the same grey colour as the other, but a carbon-fibre-like finish replaces the black patches on the fairing. The instrument console has layout changes to accommodate turn-by-turn navigation readout. That, and the music controls, can be accessed via the Yamaha smartphone app.
No mechanical changes to the new Yamaha R15M. It still gets the 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with variable-valve actuation, that makes 18.4PS and 14.2Nm. The R15M also has traction control, quickshifter for upshifts, and a slipper clutch.
The Yamaha R15 and the R15M rival the likes of the Hero Karizma XMR, Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 and the KTM RC 200, in terms of price. That said, while the R15 is an excellent motorcycle, the Rs 2 lakh plus price tag for the new variant is a little too expensive. If you add a couple of thousands over that, you could even get the Triumph Speed 400, a 400cc premium motorcycle.
The Yamaha R15 is a great beginner sportbike. It has ample performance to keep a new rider engaged, and also a forgiving nature. The R15 is a fantastic teacher in that sense. While it’s a fun bike to ride on the streets, it unleashes a whole new character on the track. In fact, it is so much fun on the track that many frequent, experienced track riders have an R15 just to ride on the track – it’s that good. The R15M takes this nature up a notch with all the extra rider aids that it gets. If you are a new rider who’s looking for a bike that can stay in your garage for a very long time, without becoming boring, the R15 is one of the best picks.

Its been amazing bike 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.Read More6 1
