Q. What is the Yamaha YZF R15 V3 and Yamaha R15 V4, which bike is shorter?
  • Both Yamaha R15 V4 and Yamaha YZF R15 V3 features a saddle height of 815 mm. However, the R15 V4 will be more comfortable here. The clip-on bars are positioned slightly higher and are now angled flatter, giving you a more relaxed seating posture which will prove valuable for everyday use and for longer rides. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Q. I'm confused between, R15 V4 and Gixxer SF 250?
  • Both the bikes are good in their forte. While the Gixxer SF 250 offers a sporty riding experience, it isn’t an out-and-out sportbike. It does offer an affordable, and potentially more fun, an alternative to the Honda CBR250R, making it a great option for more mature riders. Whereas, Yamaha R15 V4 by sticking to its engine has a proven suite of abilities - everyday usability, unintimidating but exciting performance, and low ownership costs. So, the Yamaha R15 is more appealing and more capable than before, and despite the higher price tag still very worthy of being the first sportbike for the budding biker. 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.Read more -2021 Yamaha R15 V4 First Ride: Eternally Young?.
Q. Which to choose, R15 V4 or MT-15?
  • All-in-all we’d say the R15 V4 is a much better proposition, that is if you’re willing to stretch your budget. The MT-15 is a pretty good option as well if your commutes are mostly restricted within city limits. Of course, the ergos on the R15 are quite aggressive owing to its supersport pedigree. On the flip side, the MT-15 is more relaxed with a wider handlebar. Both bikes use the same VVA-equipped 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, however, there’s a minor difference in power figures. The R15 makes 18.4PS and 14.2Nm of peak torque as opposed to the MT which produces 18.5PS and 13.9Nm. The latter also uses a larger sprocket which offers more torque lower down the rev range, but this eats into its top-end performance. For a better understanding of performance and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

    Speed Meets Style, with a Dash of Discomfort 

    Owning the Yamaha R15 V4 has been akin to being in a high speed love affair. Its aerodynamic design and the 155 cc, liquid cooled, 4 stroke, SOHC, 4 valve engine churning out 18.6 PS power make every ride exhilarating. The addition of features like traction control and a quick shifter in the higher variants has elevated the riding experience bringing it closer to a track experience.However the love story has its challenges. The aggressive riding posture, while great for performance and handling can be a literal pain in the back on longer rides making it less ideal for touring purposes.
