Recently Asked User Questions

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.

    Good performer bike 

    It is a proper commuter bike with good initial and mid range power but this is the bike with zero top end. It is a comfortable bike and the suspension is soft but there is a struggle after 60 kmph of speed. Everything in this bike is according to the commuter bike and the mileage is somewhere around 37 to 42 kmpl and is easy to drive in the traffic. The top speed of this bike is around 100 to 110 kmph and the ride quality of this bike is good.

    Good option for bikers with Average costing 

    The Yamaha FZ-X for sale stands out among the bikers thanks to the unique combination of the fashionable adventure- commuter design and the advanced features that exactly meet the needs of the modern urban bikers. The patrons are impressed with the factory refined engine, the comfortable ergonomics and the rugged styling, making the perfect balance jointly of form and function. However, some technology like Bluetooth connections and LED illumination obtained a top score. While most users are glad about the advancements made by the company regarding bike features, some mention that though the wind protection at higher speeds is better, it is not quite the best, bringing forth suggestions for suspension for a smoother ride on rough terrains.

    Embracing Adventure: Yamaha FZ-X 

    That deep crouch, that eagle eye, that precision touch, Yamaha FZ-X says it all. It recreates adventure in a rugged design and power-packed 149cc engine, making for unforgettable rides on and off the road. The muscular stance, raised seats and a high handle bar that the motorcycle creates and then fuses them to modern items like the LED lighting and digital screen to gives it the street look. FZ-X provides this combination between dynamic performance and comfort, having compensated ride quality and impressive handling response. Nevertheless, the fact that its seat height is high on the spinal column may inconvenience the riders who are not physically developed, while its safety component being just a conventional brake may be a drawback. In conclusion, this device is both fashionable and energetic enough to be a great mate during the city explorations.

    FZ-X adventure 

    I have use­d the Yamaha FZ-X for a while now. It has bee­n a really fun ride. I enjoy motorcycle­s, and I like the sporty look and comfortable ride­ of the FZ-X. The FZ-X is one of the­ most affordable bikes in its category. It is a gre­at value for the money. Howe­ver, the seat could be­ more padded for longer trips. The­ fuel efficiency could also be­ better. Still, the FZ-X handle­s very well. The e­ngine is responsive. The­ bike looks stylish too. It is an excelle­nt choice for city travel and wee­kend getaways.
