    Excellent mileage 

    This is the most powerful bike.It delivers amazing performance, Has good looks, And provides excellent mileage.It was a dream from the age of 15 to own a yamaha machine.At my 22 birthday, My father took me to his small activa and he told me we are going to buy your birthday gift.I was confused why he is taking me to buy it he could have brought it prior.At last, The scooter stopped in front of a huge board and my heart started beating, My excitement and confusion started hitting me again.And i got hands-on with that beautiful machine it was r15 v3.The riding experience is awesome.We are actually sitting inside a cockpit that kind of comfort we will get in v3.Everybody knows that in terms of looks and performance and also mileage there is no other bike in its segment is there to compete with v3.Maintenance is like a normal bike.As compared to other bikes in the segment its really cheap.Pros - looks, Mileage, Performance, Reliability, Gears are crisp.Cons- i haven't felt any but many people told me that there was the issue of back pain due to the postureother than that i haven't felt any.

    Driving is very impressive 

    Yamaha R15S is a very aggressive and attractive looking bike that gives amazing road presence and the feel to drive this bike is very impressive. The power in this bike is incredible and the fuel tank of this bike is very unique and the suspension is on the softer side and it comes with the telescopic suspension. The handling is very good and is a superb bike to drive and the braking is good but the posture is on the aggressive side that gives uncomfort for the long rides.
