      Excellent bike with a premium look and high power. One of the best budget-range sport bikes, the R15 M is the top choice for sport bikes in India. Very good overall.

      Overall, my experience with this bike is very good. The top speed is impressive, and the design is very attractive it looks like a sports bike and even feels like a bike above 300cc. The mileage is also good.

      Yamaha R15 V4M comes with an aggressive, R7-inspired design and premium build quality. It features a 155cc VVA engine, USD forks, dual ABS, traction control, Bluetooth console, quick shifter, and delivers good mileage of around 40–50 km/l. However, its aggressive riding posture is not very comfortable for long rides, and the price feels slightly high for a 155cc bike.
