You can still buy the bikes from your local Yamaha dealer

Due to the onslaught of the second Covid-19 wave in the country, Yamaha India has suspended its two-wheeler manufacturing operations at the Kanchipuram (Tamil Nadu) and Surajpur (Uttar Pradesh) plants. As of now, the facilities will be closed from May 15 to 31.

However, the brand will continue working with its suppliers and dealers to manage inventories. This should help the Japanese manufacturer avoid stockpiling. Yamaha has also clarified that its corporate and office employees will continue working from home.

The resurgence of the pandemic in India has resulted in a substantial drop in sales numbers. The need of the hour is to keep the volume in check and move stock accordingly. This will not only aid the overall distribution process but also mitigate the losses to an extent.

Once the localised lockdowns are lifted, we can expect the brands to resume full-fledged operations. In a related development, Yamaha’s latest member, the FZ-X, has been spotted in India. Here’s all you need to know about it.

Driven by single person only
Bike's performance is an excellent, powerful pickup, starts easily, one handed used only, driven 7700 km only within 3 and half years. Overall experience is memorable, sound is normal, highway experience is totally amazing, driving R15S vs other bikes is totally different, average can be maintained if we drive well.

The best bike of segment
Its a stylish bike. Very good looking and powerful with a muscular body and heavy duty. I love the bike since beginning, my dream bike and very solid bike. Better in every aspect in mileage, great in looks and performance. It's very sharp looking and comfortable for long rides also a good mileage provider, good acceleration and pickup, fast, smooth, tension free riding and less maintenance bike for sure. In this price range, it's the best. The best bike. I would definitely recommend to young guys, not for old grandpa's, it gonna make you feel royal and elegant, very strong presence and that's why I am recommending this bike to all of my friends.

Pocket rocket
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.

The best starting Sports Bike
Great bike overall. Fantastic control and road presence. Wish I had purchased this bike earlier. Crazy engine performance. Loved it. The bikes gear shift mechanism is very smooth. Easily touches 100+ speeds with full control. Great impactful headlights and maneuverability even on bumpy roads. Very easy to handle when compared to other similar bikes.
