R15 M Highlights

On Target

Premium iteration of the R15, equipped with a quick-shifter and TFT display as standard, though priced on the higher side.

What We Like

Standard features as quick-shifter and colour TFT meter over R15 V4. Best entry level sports bike in India.

What We Do Not Like

Rs 13,000 costlier than R15 V4, doesn’t justify its Rs 2 lakh + on-road price. Lacks comfort for long rides.

Performance

The Yamaha R15 M is the most sensible, reliable, & fast-performing entry-level sports bike in India. It is fast, it is reliable, & it is budget-friendly as well. However, the R15 V4 offers similar performance and looks at a lower price. The R15 M is meant for buyers who want a better learning tool for track & a different design appeal on the road than the V4 itself.

Pros & Cons of R15 M

What we admire in this bike

155cc engine offers fast & thrilling performance with reliability

Amazing road presence due to design

Fit & finish is very good for its price

Very good beginner bike for track riding experience

Comes loaded with the latest features like Quickshifter, etc.

What could have been better

Pricey when compared to the R15 V4

Not a very comfortable bike for long rides

Engine buzzes a little in the mid-range performance

Should I buy the R15 M?

The Yamaha R15 M is a premium variant of the entry-level sports bike R15 V4. It looks like the V4 but is differentiated by different cosmetics. These include new colors and graphics. The main feature of the R15 M is the standard quickshifter and traction control. However, the engine performance & the features are similar to the V4. We recommend the R15 M for those who want a special-looking R15 with more track-oriented features. But, if you’ll be using it mostly outside the track, then the V4 offers more value for money.

Power Machine

This is a powerful bike with excellent performance and good mileage. As it is a sports bike, the comfort level is slightly less, which is expected. The suspension is a bit stiff, but it helps provide better stability at high speeds. Overall, it is a very good and well-balanced bike.

Changing Ride

This bike is great for short rides but not for everyday use. The mileage is excellent and the service cost is good for me. That’s why I want to change to a better bike now. I am going for the Gen 3 390.
