Yamaha R15 V4 vs Yamaha R15S

Question 1

Q. What is the Yamaha YZF R15 V3 and Yamaha R15 V4, which bike is shorter?

Answer

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.

Question 2

Q. Which bike is the best Yamaha R15 V4 or Bajaj Pulsar NS200?

Answer

The Yamaha YZF-R15 V4 continues to be a trustworthy tool for riders looking to hone their track-riding skills. Of course, it is now a bit ergonomically friendlier and roomy enough for larger riders too. Additions like the traction control and quick shifter only amplify the bike’s sportiness. So, in our books, despite the price jump, the R15 V4 is a worthy proposition. On the other hand, the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 has soldiered through nine years of intense competition. As a result, pricing, features, and ease of use have ceased to be the bike’s strengths. The NS still puts up a strong fight in the BS6 era and is a perfect fit for those who like their bikes sporty and a little raw. 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.

Question 3

Q. Which is better between Yamaha R15 v4 vs Yezdi Scramber?

Answer

The Yamaha YZF-R15 V4 continues to be a trustworthy tool for riders looking to hone their track-riding skills. Of course, it is now a bit ergonomically friendlier and roomy enough for larger riders too. On the hand, The Yezdi Scrambler is one attractive-looking motorcycle that packs equally impressive performance. And with its prices, even though it is a tempting proposition, we hope Yezdi addresses some glaring issues with the bike including quality and engine refinement. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city and brand for dealership details.

Question 4

Q. I'm confused between, R15 V4 and Gixxer SF 250?

Answer

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.

Question 5

Q. Which to choose, R15 V4 or MT-15?

Answer

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.

Question 6

Q. For riding in Chennai City r15v3 is good or Thunderbird 350X?

Answer

It's Simple Yamaha R15 V3 is best in Chennai City

Answer

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.
