        When evaluating comfort is vibration and noise levels. It performs well in this regard.

        The Yamaha R15 v4 is a good-looking sports bike. Best racing and sports bike under budget. It produces a 150 km/hr speed with just a 155 cc engine. It is better than the KTM RC 200 and Suzuki Gixxer.

        The Yamaha r15 v4 bike is awesome, but the bike body is not good. iIt's a plastic body, It should be a metal body. Overall good bike.
