Recently Asked User Questions

Q. For riding in Chennai City r15v3 is good or Thunderbird 350X?
  • The R15 has always had a singular focus. Performance. That leads to compromise in other aspects like ergonomics. Its sporty riding position comes courtesy of an 815mm high rider seat (up by 15mm over the v2). Despite the taller seat, we did not have an issue placing both feet on the ground. The riding position has become more aggressive and while it worked well on the track, riding in the city for an extended period did leave a minor discomfort in our wrists and upper back. Other than the clip-on, which now feels lower, the low-set footpegs are comfortable and the rest of the bike too didn't give us any reason to complain. You do need to be careful while taking U-turns though as the bars come pretty close to the fuel tank, and your hand getting too close to your knee during full lock does cause some issues. Especially on right-hand U-turns, it’s rather difficult to open the throttle as your wrist is resting on the tank at full lock. On the other hand, the Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X has been discontinued and is not available for sale in the market. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and riding comfort. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.Read more:- Yamaha R15 v3.0 Road Test Review

Q. My height is 5.2 feet, which is better Dominar 250 or Yamaha R15 V3?
  • As per your requirements, we would suggest you to go with the Bajaj Dominar 250. The sports tourer offers a seat height of 800mm which is fairly accessible, however, you may have to tip-toe the bike while moving the bike around in the parking lot or in stop-and-go traffic. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

    A true sports bike with performance  

    I was seeking a sports bike under 2 lakh and then my friend suggested yamaha R15S and i bought it last month. the experience is good but the engine could be more refined. the mileage is around 40kmpl and the maintenance cost is moderate. I liked the seating posture and the taillight is attractive. It is perfect for highway cruising and long trips.

    Powerful and feature rich 

    For my everyday situation of ride this bike is perfect that is affordable and comfortable then R15 V4 but the headlight throw is not good. Its 155 cc engine is the most powerful and the mileage i got is around 40 kmpl but the finishing is not good. It is also comes with the quickshifter and traction control system but the riding position is on the aggressive side for the city use and the spare parts are not easily available.

    Most sporty design 

    My father recenlty gifted me Yamaha R15S for my college journey . It offers a slightly more affordable option with a focus on everyday riding comfort. It has a 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine. Both come with disc brakes on both wheels, with either single-channel ABS. But it lacks in ABS technology in the baxk wheels which is a major concern for safety . The upright riding position can make the ride confortable .

    illuminate every path you take 

    While talking to a friend of mine, about this extraordinary model, Yamaha R15S. It is a differently built bike model, even has a fair deal when it comes to the price. This is a great offer which immediately kset my mind into purchasing this model and so i have also bought this last month itself. It is a powerful model with good mileage an ground clearance. It has options for transmission. Look wise, it is amazingly beautiful.
