Nice review! I brought this bike 2.5 months ago ( spark green-black colour) :) completed aprox 6000 km till now.This machine easily touch 125km/per nd if u know proper gear shifting it can do upto 140. Friends best thing is that on less traffic highways even on (90-110km/hr) its giving mileage about 48km/lit, what else u expect?! :D Dynamics are superior as compared to other bikes.and instead of a video or photo i personally suggest to look this bike with naked eyes its undoubtedly sexy and comfortable. Choices do differ, some people like v2 some guys prefer this unibody version, i personally prefer this one.stay blessed.
I just the loved the way u added humor to this video review which is otherwise old wine in a new bottle!! 😀 Faisal love you bro exponentially & ur team! you 😊😍
Faisal Khan thanks for the review finally got to see something of yamaha....r15 s....exactly looks like v1 the first affordable sports bike launched in 2008
First off...thanks a lot for the simple review...something i was eagerly looking forward to. Nice effort to bring forth some informative details about real life practicability of the reviewed rides. When it comes to the win, i'd say that's MotorBeam's opinion. The 2.0 might make a lot of sense for most riders, yet... the R15s makes much more sense to people like me, who want something that looks, feels and performs like a sport bike without being overly inclined toward pure racing. As a matter of fact, a few would be investing in a bike today just for the sake of pure racing. It is primarily a means of transportation. yes quite a few of us would invest in a bike for a casual street race or stunts. Having said that, the R15s is looking more civilised, more welcoming and less intimidating, with the convenience of having a pillion rider being unstrained and happy. that's definitely a well thought alternative for the breed of rider I belong to. Looking forward to see more forthcoming reviews from MotorBeam :)
Thank God they bought back the old model with the deltabox frame. I have the old model, Version 1. I guess it's time to sell my old model and get this one, the best of both worlds? I always preferred them over the KTM bikes which sound quite crude and unrefined with loads of vibration to boot. The reason I'm mentioning this is because I wanted to buy one to replace my Yamaha R15 version 1, but the bike felt crude and unrefined and thus I decided not to purchase it. Not hating on any KTM fan out there, just sharing my thoughts :)
Nice Review ! True why would you want a sports bike with a pillion rider, LOL. But I guess there are lot of tourers like me who want to take somebody in the pillion on such trips ! For them, the R15 S will come in handy :)
I dont think most people in our country and even abroad buy a separate sports bike for fun rides and car for commuting. It makes sense to have a sports bike with feature which are commuter friendly like a comfortable pillion seat.
I booked v2 today...I just love v2 n I will choose it over any bike even v3..v3 looks isn't love at first sight for me....but I do feel insecure a lil cos once the v3 gets launched n does v2 look outdated by then? is it OK to get v2 which I love it or wait for v3??? I'm not that speed type guy looking for v3 performance...v2 speed is perfect ... suggest me
R15 V2 any day I'm happy to own that bike its pure fun. And moreover it doesn't heat up at all in this summer time I really love my r15 it's the best bike available. nice review though
v2 is just a showoff bike compared to tracked focused v1, v2 has a slower tyres and a messed up subframe, true racers were pissed of so they asked to get the v1 back hence r15s was born
Nandan Pavaskar I just want to ask one question , How much does it cost for overall servicing of the bike because the bike is unused for years , so anyone know about it then plz let me know about the over all service cost thankyou!!
i am confuse between r15 s and apache rtr fi and abs so plz suggest me for which one i should go for i am looking for a dubarble and gud build quality bike which can give good perftmnce also and daily use also
Well, not everyone who want to own a sports bike is single, take for me, now surely my wife will agree for this bike. Oh I can use it comfortably for my daily commute of 30-40 Kms as well. So it makes a lot of sense.
+MotorBeam : i am planning to buy cb hornet 160R. But in a confusion that, whether i should go for R15 S or hornet. Please let me which one is the best?
Is it comfortable than the version 2.0...??regarding riding posture...plz tell.. . Which is comfortable to ride between cbr nd r15s.. Or both r same??plz tell @faisal
MotorBeam buying the bike this week :) I'm sure this is going to be amazing for me since I'm moving from an activa to the r15. Any suggestions from your end? Maybe the best colour for the bike or any amazing mods I could do?
can I buy a used r15 v2?? ...cos I already have a bike for commuting but I'm a little hesitant to buy used bike cos I think the engine may be ceased.can I buy ?
Bro i dropped by r15s in parking in standstill...while..my wheel is straight...my handlebar alone is slight towards ryt ..while driving .. any suggestions
thank you. great review though looking forwards for more vids.. :) but the price is a bit more and its outta my budget any solution? like is the r15s is worth it?
hi, I was having the R15 v1, I sold it for some reasons, now I'm going to buy a R15, but I pretty much confused with whether to buy R15 v2 Or R15 s,some say that v2 is not comfortable for long rides, gimme some suggestions I'm concerned about looks, handling performances and mileage
Hello Sir, can you please suggest me R15s is good for daily usage(office to home around 15km). As I heard the R15 users can easily get wrist, back pain for long drives. Does r15s also face the same issue? how much mileage for r15s? and which one is best among 1.R15s 2.rtr 180 ABS
Hello motorbeam, I like this bike very much. can you please suggest me whether this bike is suitable to me or not? my daily commute of 30-40 Kms and some times i will go for long rides(100km).my height is 6'1 Please suggest any other bike if this is not.my budget is below 1.5L
r3 owner, the r15 and r15s look like nice bikes, wish for you guys that they would have upped the engine size a bit like to 200cc or so to better compete with competitors available in India at that price bracket
R15s makes less power but is it true that R15s looses out on 4 valves and diasil cylinder like V2? some also speculate its not at the all same engine as V2, even yamahas official website does not list these as R15s features which are specifially mentioned for V2. I am planning to buy this bike, how true are these claims? shall I test ride both to compare?
HEY MOTOR BEAM ,CAN WE TRUST THE R15 FOR 1500 KILO METERS TRIP.....WILL THE ENGINE BEAR LONG CRUISING?......CAN WE GO 1 HOURS ABOVE 100 WITHOUT STOPPING..........WILL BIKE DO ANY PROBLEM ON LONG TRIPS......PLZ ANSWER MOTOR BEAM....PLZ ANSWER IN DETAIL
in the city traffic r15 is the best but on highways CBR is better.I own a CBR and boy u have to struggle to be in the power band so riding CBR in city is one heck of a task
in the city traffic r15 is the best but on highways CBR is better.I own a CBR and boy u have to struggle to be in the power band so riding CBR in city is one heck of a task

Nice to know your happy with your bike.
Coming after R15S relaunch news.. 🔥🔥🔥
People who own R15 uses it as a daily commuter. R15S is better then the R15 V3. We indian always has pillion to hang around the streets.
Yes it makes sense, and they are gonna do this again in 2021 V4S
I just the loved the way u added humor to this video review which is otherwise old wine in a new bottle!! 😀
Faisal love you bro exponentially & ur team! you 😊😍
Faisal Khan thanks for the review finally got to see something of yamaha....r15 s....exactly looks like v1 the first affordable sports bike launched in 2008
The Pioneer of affordable pure sport bike in India.

+Khem Prakash thank you!

+MrLanmx as the saying goes, one bike doesn't fit all. Glad to know the R15-S fits your requirements ;-)
Thank God they bought back the old model with the deltabox frame. I have the old model, Version 1. I guess it's time to sell my old model and get this one, the best of both worlds?

+kaihtheloner but the KTMs are much faster.
MotorBeam Can't argue with you guys on that one :P
***** Same here. I wish they iron that out in an updated version if possible.
the intro was funny.... :D
hahaha I know! super funny
+Leshon Lobo glad you liked it.
+MotorBeam :)
Can I replace my Yamaha r15 front tyre which is mrf 90/80-17 with micheline 90/90-17
Does it effect the handling and performance of the bike
and very gay
I am 5"5, and daily I travel around 45kms .Does R15S suits me ?
Because,I have heard that people saying, we get back pain after riding it for too long
Yes
bro im confused btw r15-s and pulsar 200ns 2017
+muhamabdul salam go for the R15.
What did u buy?
Nice Review ! True why would you want a sports bike with a pillion rider, LOL. But I guess there are lot of tourers like me who want to take somebody in the pillion on such trips ! For them, the R15 S will come in handy :)
You can't really tour on the R15-S.
Hii MotoBeam...which is best to buy R15 S or Pulsar RS 200 considering style and comfort? Thanx in advance :)
+P K R15.
why motobeam pulsar rs 200 better than r15s in aspect why u say r15s better give reasons
Sourav Dey ghanta pulsar
never deny the power of yamaha
understand
I dont think most people in our country and even abroad buy a separate sports bike for fun rides and car for commuting. It makes sense to have a sports bike with feature which are commuter friendly like a comfortable pillion seat.
+Ravi's Techzone then why buy a R15, get the FZ.
I booked v2 today...I just love v2 n I will choose it over any bike even v3..v3 looks isn't love at first sight for me....but I do feel insecure a lil cos once the v3 gets launched n does v2 look outdated by then?
is it OK to get v2 which I love it or wait for v3???
I'm not that speed type guy looking for v3 performance...v2 speed is perfect ... suggest me
V3 will take time to come.
MotorBeam how much time?
That SF scene is a genius addition to the video.. I would pick the V2 as well..
+Mik. Ban thank you!
your idea is real and make people to feel the difficult in previous high split seat GOOD IDEA VIDEO IS TOUCHING
+Shyam Babu thank you 🙂
Bro this is my first gear bike and i am purchasing 2nd but condition is good, 2017 September and he is asking 85k what should i quote him??
R15 V2 any day I'm happy to own that bike its pure fun. And moreover it doesn't heat up at all in this summer time I really love my r15 it's the best bike available. nice review though
+sunny singh thanks a ton!
Hi bro, should I buy R15 S...is r15 S production will close due to v3...didn't have any idea....
What's ur personal opinion??
v2 is just a showoff bike compared to tracked focused v1, v2 has a slower tyres and a messed up subframe, true racers were pissed of so they asked to get the v1 back hence r15s was born
The R15-S came back for comfort.
Nandan Pavaskar
I just want to ask one question ,
How much does it cost for overall servicing of the bike because the bike is unused for years , so anyone know about it then plz let me know about the over all service cost thankyou!!
This same design bike is needed in 2023...
No!! We need sharp design and the front headlight should be V2 version. Or just use bodykits on the bike and you go
Anyone in 2025?
Yes bro planning to buy one😶🌫️❤
Still using. Good bike

how bad is the seat for the tourer, is it like impossible to tour for the rider and pillion or is is ok

+deepak yadav go for R15.
MotorBeam any weaknes of r15 i means why you found better comparing to rtr 200 plz tell me
Well, not everyone who want to own a sports bike is single, take for me, now surely my wife will agree for this bike. Oh I can use it comfortably for my daily commute of 30-40 Kms as well. So it makes a lot of sense.
You can't ride a sports bike like a sports bike with a pillion.
Yep, that's for sure, but you don't ride with a pillion when you want to ride it like a sports bike!
your reviews are excellent and have more practicality.. appreciated your work 👍👍👍
Thanks for the kind words.

R15 V2.
Why both have equal POWER and equal torque.. Why v2 will win ?
V2 has slightly more power.
Hello Sir, can you please suggest me R15s is good for daily usage(office to home around 15km). As I heard the R15 users can easily get wrist, back pain for long drives.
Does r15s also face the same issue?
how much mileage for r15s?
and which one is best among
1.R15s
2.rtr 180 ABS
R15-S is similar in terms of rider comfort.
Bhai does handling get compromised???
Hello motorbeam,

my daily commute of 30-40 Kms and some times i will go for long rides(100km).my height is 6'1

R15 V2.
Which colour is looking good and did you know anything about special edition in R15s ?
Colours are subjective. No special edition on sale currently.
Thanks bro i planned to go for track white
That's a good colour.
r3 owner, the r15 and r15s look like nice bikes, wish for you guys that they would have upped the engine size a bit like to 200cc or so to better compete with competitors available in India at that price bracket
Yamaha will not increase engine displacement, we all know that, don't we?
R15s makes less power but is it true that R15s looses out on 4 valves and diasil cylinder like V2? some also speculate its not at the all same engine as V2, even yamahas official website does not list these as R15s features which are specifially mentioned for V2. I am planning to buy this bike, how true are these claims? shall I test ride both to compare?
The motor is the same.

Yes you can ride the R15 non-stop, it will have no issues, you can also redline it but just make sure you service it on time.
Bro What is Deltabox....??? I know its Frame But...🤔🤔🤔
is the power output exactly same or is it detuned by 0.4ps as it has been claimed elsewhere and even on yamahas official site
+Amoeba it's the same as we did a drag race with the V2.
Is there any possibility to launch R15S with ABS & gear indicator in console?

Not recommended.
But the s is more comfortable than the v2, right ?
Bro does this bike have huge panel gap between the petrol tank and the faring...it looks insane but I didn't found that ugly gap in V2
