    The Balanced Performance of Yamaha R15S 

    Owning the Yamaha R15S has been a journey of rediscovering my passion for biking. It strikes the perfect balance between aggressive sportiness and comfortable commuting. The single seat design is not just about aesthetics it offers comfort that is much appreciated on longer rides. Powered by a 155cc liquid cooled engine with 18.6 PS and 14.1 Nm. The absence of a dual channel ABS is felt especially under hard braking. Yet with its blend of performance and efficiency the Yamaha R15S has proven itself to be an excellent choice for Indian bikers looking for a sporty yet practical ride.
