        The Yamaha R15 V4 has an eye-catching design and delivers excellent mileage for its segment. The speed and performance are truly impressive, and the sporty look stands out. However, long rides can cause back and shoulder pain due to the aggressive riding posture. Also, the price feels a bit high considering it's a lower-cc bike. Still, it’s a great choice for those who love style and speed. Thank you.
