6 Reasons Not To Buy Yamaha R15 | MotorBeam

www.motorbeam.com finds out reasons not to buy the Yamaha R15 even though it's a fantastic motorcycle, offering sporty ergonomics, stunning design and razor sharp handling. A revolution when launched in 2008, the Yamaha R15 has aged and the successor of the V2 has been launched in the form of the R15 V3.0 but is yet to arrive in India.
Should you still buy a Yamaha R15 when for the same price, you can get faster bikes like the Bajaj Dominar 400 and from Yamaha's own stable, the FZ25.

[@sathwikfreek621]

I own an R15 and its been like 3 years now .. I haven't regretted buying it for one second! First of all its a sports bike! So don't expect it to be too comfortable for God's sake .. And pillion rider seat shouldn't even exist in a sports bike .. If u want to ride with your granny then get urself a fuckin scooter.. I agree it lacks a lotta a power ... cummon its a 150cc bike! This is the best bike if u wanna learn how to ride a sports bike properly and thinking of upgrading to a superbike in the future .. I ride a ducati 959 panigale and trust me without r15 It would have been a pain in the ass to ride the ducati so easily like I do now.. every bike has its own style and character! stop misleading people! stupid review motorbeam .. Overall its a beautiful bike and I love riding it..

[@rookiejtp1332]

SathwiK FreeK bro pls tell me R15S worth to buy in 2017 what is the difference between R15S and R15 V2 pls reply to me.i am planning to buy bike which bike I can please tell me Suzuki Gixxer sf fi or R15

[@sathwikfreek621]

rookie jtp, bro both the r15 v2.0 and r15S are the same except the fact that r15s has a single seat .. so r15s is a lot more comfortable than v2 r15. Gixxer sf fi is a brilliant bike aswell but it's power is lesser than that of the r15 .. gixxer is more comfortable .. so if you are interested in going for long rides then i suggest you go for the gixxer. if you want a more sporty and track focused bike with a little more power and ten times more better quality of the bike than i strongly suggest the R15. Do checkout the R15 V3 for its launch date because the v3 is going to be a killer ! Thankyou :)

Being one of the most powerful bikes in 150cc segment with a delta box frame. If this bike gives you pain in the back then what do you have to say about RC 200 and 390? My R15 has completed 35k with no pain. Had a pillion rider weighing 126kgs 28 kms on not so good roads . strangely nothing broke due to pillion weight.

The maintenance is fully defended on your riding style bro... hope u improve your riding style and reduce your maintenance expenses.

[@anantbijolia8415]

Apart from the headlamp issues these are common problems in almost all track focused motorcycles (almost). The R15 does what it's supposed to. By the way nice video motorbeam team... I guess the whole point of the video was that R15 should not be an option if you want it as a city riding commuter with a pillion. Strange that I never faced any back pain or wrist pain issues while city riding.

[@amitmagadum164]

how much money u have been taken for making this video... that's r15 which created revolution in India...

[@28learner]

Amit Magadum ur absolutely rite! not to forget that Yamaha was the one who introduced adordable fully faired sports bike and naked bikes with monoshock suspension in India.. before that all the bikes were all double sided suspension with no weight balance at all..

[@ishaan110394]

yo dumbass they have clearly said its a brilliant bike in its own right. Everything has its downsides you don't have to be so butthurt about it oh and btw the Unicorn introduced monoshock suspension to our market. It's not like no one knew of its existence but India used to have bad roads and still does to this day apart from which a lot of commuter bikes are used in villages and the load bearing capacity of dual shocks is always better than a monoshock not to mention cheaper. Thats why they were so popular not because no one knew anything about riding fast but because riding fast was never the norm in India

[@28learner]

im not butt hurt about its downsides. Infact i do agree with some.Just like every other bike has its own. But i do support that r15 was one of the revolutions in india.. keeping in mind that they were the first to provide affordable bikes and qualities that still speak for themselves till date .. not because the others couldnt provide, but because they choose not to. Of course it makes sense as u say about the roads.... but it was them that sped things up and stepped up the competition. if not u would still be riding lunas on the highways with no other option at hand.. lol ;) .but u say that riding fast was never the norm in india . i second that mate. Ask and rider today or then, he would tell u better.

dear motorbeam the issues you have mentioned are issues of riding a sports bike actually.. so according to you every bike like yamaha r6 yamaha r1 are all bad because they all will have these same issues ...you don't really seem to know what you are talking about here ...a biker buys a bike to make himself feel refreshed enjoyed and thrilled everytime they get on the bike and take it on a run. Everytime i ride my R15 V2 i appreciate it for giving me the actual escence of riding. ... you will never get bored riding a yamaha r15 v2...you dont get any ... literally any bike till this date ... which rivals it at that same price segment... you really dont own a R15 v2 ... i am sure about that... on a yamaha r15 v2 you can learn soo much so that you will be able to upgrade to a 600 cc or a 1000 cc bike ......such kind of things cant be done on any other bike... in that price...... i have rode my R15 for 20k kms and now also whenever i get on it ... i get excited and appreciate her for being such an awesome piece of hardware. Its really a sports bike... And if You are not physically fit for riding it Go get yourself a Pulsar

I don't know why do people crib about the riding position, majority of the essence of this bike lies in the riding position itself. I bought it solely because of the rising position and ofcourse of the way it looks. I don't ride it regularly.. it's more of a leisure toy for me... been over 6 years of ownership and have clocked about 7k kms on it... but yes.. people who want it for a regular use may want to look at other options as it may not be the most practical for that sort of use.

I am using R15 Motogp edition from the past 3 years, till now didn't have any back problems. Pillion comfortable is not there, I will agree. But servicing and maintenance cost is not that much costly. And the last reason is acceptable for not to buy R15 V2.

[@MotorBeam]

How many kms have you done?

[@anunayvatsal]

recently i sold my r15 and got fz25 for the same reason stated above. 😂

[@MotorBeam]

How is the FZ25 in performance in comparison to the R15?

[@anunayvatsal]

MotorBeam It feels lot powerful even riding with a pillon. And city riding is a lot of fun now. The bike pulls like a train even past 110kmph. And doesn't loose momentum after deaccelerating, Means it picks up the power from where it was left. No shifting of gears required. Wind blast is a concern though.

[@anunayvatsal]

Also the service interval is 5000 now, so peace of mind.

[@Lovenishguleria]

damn true pickup is slicky smooth i did 122 with pillon and 143 single. still r15 is expensive than fz25 lol

[@mayukhsharma8465]

Lovenish Guleria you are right pickup is very good filters through traffic with ease. I did a 128 kph with a pillion who is in mid 50kg and 122 kph with a guy of 70+ kg and 133 kph solo. Is your bike stock?

[@suthardhaval9]

I disagree one point, this is a comfortable bike for Rider (not for Pelion). I am using it from last 3000 kms. Initially when i bought it first 100 km i faced wrist & neck pain but once i used to it, i loved its sitting position and handling. Its perfect 👌. U can't judge this bike without riding it at least 250 kms. After using this bike i don't like to ride any normal commute bike. It is like a master piece of engineering. Every thing is awsommme.

[@SuperImbadude]

Shivam Ravi Srivastava so clearly you are against a much better bike than your SF.

[@anantbijolia8415]

They didn't mention any flaws in performance or its handling, the R15 does what it's built for so how is that a punch to owner's face ? What they pointed out is a common problem in almost all track focussed motorcycles. Take the RC 200/ RC 390 for instance. If someone wants to ride in the city with a pillion they can go for some commuter. It's stupid to judge a sports bike on commuting standards.

[@fitonlineshivam]

Maheshwaran AJ Ya i have no problem in that atleast my sf is way more comfortable and mileage friendly thn r15 and in terms of built quality and engine both are japanese companies both are better and in terms of power torque r15 is a winner i have no problem in accepting that

[@amithmg9770]

I agree with the last point.. rest are not so true. Comfort is not the reason for buying this bike. This bike is not slow in the city. One should ride slow to not become mr.India ;-) . This bike will position your body to upgrade to higher segment super sports bike. Maintaining is not all that required like bullets or other bikes. Not riding it for a week and still starts without issues. Only issue one faces is recklessly redlining it. And brake pad are like tissues.. yeah.. 2 years and still looks super 😎.

[@saranbiker]

Very honest review. Expecting more such videos from motor beam.

[@buntafujiwara5644]

Seat is hard??get a soft cushioned seat...riding posture bitching??install aftermarket clipons with upperyoke configuration.. Pillion seat poor?? Better ditch the pillion... Or ... Go to welding shop... Lower the seat lock bracket... And then install it... Being a 150cc sportbike on those old times... It was a medical.. Uhh sorry ... Mechanical miracle to get these kind of bikes... These are treasures... And no matter after few years all gonna starve for r15 v2...

[@hafiz9956]

Iam a proud owner of yamaha r15 v.2..And i love the bike for what it is..No complaints. #r15 #fever #forever

[@rookiejtp1332]

sir tell me R15S worth to buy in 2017 what is the difference between R15S and R15 V2 pls reply to me

[@abhijitmendhe7570]

It's the ultimate poser bike for small town India: it's got no low end, so not good for city rides; it's not comfortable for touring, so no good on highways.

[@TheZaneknight]

it's been a bit longer than 4 months waiting for this soon to arrive r15 v3 , too tired of waiting might as well get v2...

[@princegiftson554]

hey guys... i own an apache rtr 180.. but i would like to upgrade to a more powerful bike which doesn't burn my pocket as well... which one would you suggest??

[@qcube._.8342]

@motorbeam btw, you were just nitpicking on the bike,all the reasons you mentioned are user orientated, not bikes fault. and not to mentioned, on the remarks of pathetic acting and rubbish humor, you guyz have nailed it, kudos!!!!

[@HimalayanASMR]

It's a sports bike and why are we expecting comfort. I own r15 from the last four years and i didnt have any problem. The low end torque feels a bit less but after 3K RPM it is awesome. Mileage is above 40 KMPL and even braking is great. Moreover the service charges are not high as well. So, please stop misleading people.

[@paris9332]

1) I'm 6 feet tall, ride 30 kms daily to office in Chennai Traffic and I have never complained about it's comfort.. Only time I felt wrist pain was when I took a pillion in city traffic. If you are switching from an erect position bike, this will feel different in the first month, but once you get used to it, regular bikes will look funny while driving. 2) Pillion Comfort is bad, especially if you are riding fast. But are you sure you buy this bike for pillion? Fuck the pillion. 3) Lacks Low end punch? What is the bike that you are comparing this bike with? This bike is a killer when it comes to the 150cc Segment. I dare no 150 can match the performance of the R15. However if you are bringing in some maniac like duke or other regular 200's, yes this bike falls behind a bit in terms of low end torque.. 4) True it requires high maintenance costs and service charges. Met with an accident once, and I was charged 20K, costly spares. Got some 14K through insurance, but still that's too much for an overhaul. Maintenance of the bike is also costly. 5) Twin head-light is the main highlight of an R15. It makes other sub-3-Lakh bike owners ass burn on seeing R15 roll out with their twin headlights. Buy the twin projector head light option if you want a better throw. Yamaha showroom itself will provide you an option while buying. 6) 3.0? Seriously? Safe to bet nothing will be improved on the performance side. It's a 150 and it will always be a 150. But we can expect a refreshing look, atleast something has changed from the last 10 years.. But wait, the price could be more than the current R15.. Already 1.35 onroad seems costly. Are you willing to pay much more for a 150? Edit: On second thought, let me give you six reasons why to consider buying R15. 1) Still the best looking motorcycle at price of 1.35L on road. The R6 inspired tail coupled with the nimble delta-box frame in yamaha Blue tint is pure bliss to the eye. 2) Power delivery after 95Kmph, it's heaven. You cannot expect anything like that from a 150. Even at 120Kmph, no vibrations, the bike is buttery smooth, stable and still revving up. 3) Riding in heavy/moderate traffic. Some may call me wrong, but you only have to try. It's light weight, super flickable and is a lot of fun to drive swinging from one side of the road to the other. I don't have to say anything about it's cornering capabilities, the bike speaks for itself. 4) Absolutely no engine heating. Even the rider will stay cool both in peak traffic and at high speeds. When you ride a CBR250r or similar, you can actually feel the heat till your knees. And let's forgive Duke for making your leg-piece meal ready. 5) Worth the money. What is the bike that can replace an R15? It's unique. It's lovely. It's a girl-friend. 6) This bike unlocks the potential to scale up to your next bike. This could be something least, especially in a country like India. But for those who upgrade or got plans to upgrade, you can relate.

[@MotorBeam]

You are used to the R15.
