        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.
