Yamaha R15S User Reviews
Riding quality is too good. Very huge and look is too brilliant. Just 155 cc but still beat any 200 cc bike. Engine is too reliable. Average is very good compare to other bikes. It gives me 40km per litre mileage and this is too good because it's a sports bike and still it give 40 kmpl mileage. I like it.Read More

The only bike in the segment which provides you punchy power and aggressive position it may have some cons still who are above 5.5 height can ride this rocket comfortable. Personally I love riding sports bike and this is seriously a legendary one in the segment also from 200cc segment. I reached upto 153 of speed on a highway which is so much within a 155cc segment. End of the day its very sexy for enthusiasts who prioritise power over features. So good i mean its powerful but not that torquey its so light weight and too much powerful no braking issues for me personally and mileage i got is around 42 to 45 in city and around 50 on highways too good for college students but you get back pains and spine problems not suitable for long rides good for flicking in traffic. Yes i do, The things you have to consider while buying this is its power packed for a beginner its good for track not suitable for long rides and also you have to be confident while driving this when VVA kicks in you just fly.Read More
