Just to share experience riding this with 400cc above group. Definitely felt left out during open road. But on the twisties if u had a big ball boleh la acah acah kejar dorg. In terms of power, or those "kaki top speed" 250cc definitely a better buy. But for those yg nak nmpk acah² pakai serupabike tp nak jimat minyak n maintainance like a kapchai, this r15 is a good buy. Plus its fun riding slow bike fast than riding fast bike slow. Haha
Tested my friend's R1S the other day, and all i can say is, its very sporty for its class. Ive never ridden a sub 250ccc bike, especially a single cylinder that needed revs to get going, except 2 strokes haha, and it was fun ! It encourages you to take corners faster due to the riding position, and it makes you learn to keep the rpm boiling since its not strong at low rpm. And with the slipper clutch, you definitely not afraid to mess up a downshift or two until you nailed it perfectly. Such an amazing little sporty machine for people who wants to learn to go fast around corners. My only gripe with it is, it should've been a 200cc to make it competitive with KTM Rc200, and pulsar rs200. More punch from bigger cc. And since its not even a 150cc ( its 155 ), it doesnt makes sense for it not being 200cc, if im not mistaken, the roadtax bracket for 155cc is already counted as 200cc. And the price is already the same as 200cc too.
Maybe Yammy was lazy to develop a proper 200 just jack the NVX engine put it in as the heart of the R15 easier job like that.. Otherwise we could be looking at a 200cc NVX? That would be nice.. Also by doing so they are disturbing their 250 range bikes.. Just my guess..
@@thesighbored agreed. Probably stuck it as 155cc to sold it internationally too, as in indonesia, where maybe the lower the cc, the lower the tax. But they do have the 125cc version for UK market. Oh well it is wht it is then haha And yeahh i think the 250cc market could use a little spice. Being stagnant for quite some time already.
its my third bike for fun ride with friends and its actually a nice bike, i used it daily and even for long trip. its not really make your ass riped for long trip, just carefull with the accelaration if you first have sport bike cause you will feel like big bike on the road. its fun to ride but when you play with higher cc like 250 or 200 then you'll try to catch them. for cornering this bike is really top notch, i really like the mobility of this bike. ride safe guys, enjoy the bike.
Amazing review! I really wish they sold the R15 here in the US, I’ve been in the motorcycle community for years and I just found out last night that were were smaller YZF-R bikes than the R3. Now I’ve found out about the R15 I want one so bad, but I don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance to own one :(
aiyo unker sighbot dah review r15, I owned this bike since launch (around Feb 2019). I'm 21 now, retty good bike to rip around town and have some safe (relatively hehe) highway hooligan fun with my friends. going to class is good too since I can lane split when I wake up late and the fc is very good. 20 ringgit can last me a week and a half, only problem is takda bumbung so every time hujan kena basah. but i guess i made that decision a long time ago. so its best that prospectus owners to get a gf with a car :) Definitely looking to get something with a bit more power once i graduate uni, the new husqvarna coming in to malaysia looks like my sort of thing.
Yes call me unker.. Haha.. Thanks for sharing your feedback looks like a good bike for young people or beginners to riding.. Who says biker can't get GF.. Girls that willing to ride bike with you even sun or rain, are sometimes much better than those demanding poyo type only care if got car so can be free Grab driver for them.
ik it's pretty late but may i know if it is a must for you to dyno or reset the air and fuel settings of the bike after replacing the stock exhaust with an aftermarket one?
If you just swap out the end muffler keeping the stock pipes and headers as plug and play, normally it should be OK, but if you modified the system such as chopping the pipes or a full system.. Then it's advisable to get it dyno-ed and tuned. If you are unsure you can always get it dyno-ed first and see the result, not necessarily need to tune if you just want to dyno it.
This will be a really fun bike on a kart track. To solve the soft front suspension, you can use more viscous fork oil or change to a higher spring rate. Nice R1S. 😛
Yup can swap in thicker/heavier fork oil to stiffen up the suspension, that is the cheaper option than swapping out springs, if the heavier oil is not enough, then can opt to change the springs..
R15 is very fun bike especially in the corners but it is not a fast bike. Yesterday i kene titik dgn 125z on highway and he's only half throttle😂 but i manage to potong in the exit though btw very nice review kipidap bro😉
Thanks for the video. The seating position may not feel that aggressive, but the rider will still be leaning on their arms for the whole ride. Your back may also experience some discomfort after a while. Thanks for your opinion, my was a little different.
It's not that aggressive but as long as yoy lean forward you must use your lower body and thigh strength instead of your upper body and arms else you will feel the pain.
Hey, just wanna ask, I understand that the bike comes with its default exhaust and you have an akrapovic exhaust on (which btw is really sick looking). Does it have any difference performance?
From what I understood the bike had a minor tune after installing that full system aftermarket exhaust, so there is a slight performance improvement but since there's still a lot more to do, such as performance air filter, race spark plugs, etc.. Personally as standard it's pretty good no need to mess too much with it.. Performance gains are little with every step you do to get the big gain at the end of it all.
I believe it's better that way. At least you still get a 'big bike' look & feel. Later when you work & start being independent, then you understand the value of money much better and can manage your finance and see about getting your dream bike.
great review bro, i own 1, almost a year, what i can say is, u surely look handsome when u ride it 😆, low maintenance, low fuel consumption, also not gonna hurt your pocket for major maintenance. Of u want a fast bike, forget this bike, go get Panigale 🤣, but this bike is definitely for anyone that wants to feel how to ride a superbike. the feeling not the speed
@@heyshxmadnan9913 if you ride it with a right way, you wouldn't have a prob, just don't expect to be comfortable as "kapcai" or naked bike as the position is quite aggressive, if comfort is what you're looking for, get a naked bike like MT, also, it's depends on your height.
Bro would you review cfmoto rs250, the newly model from china brand..I heard the model is similar as ktm because cfmoto and ktm join venture together...and price is much cheaper in the segment
im confused with how many finger to pull the clutch lever? 4 or 2 or 1? really need help.. im used to 4 finger =D , does using 1 or 2 finger makes any differences?
@@thesighbored i wonder if it'll be suitable for me to use it on daily basis for work, about 60km+/day ride cuz most of the reviews ive seen they highlighted the backpain and stuffs. Is it really that bad?
With the right body position and technique like using lower body to keep your upper body up instead of relying on arms, you can minimise body aches.. If you are still doubtful then can consider the MT-15 for more upright riding.
@@thesighbored as long as there are countermeasures to the cons, im taking r15. Maybe because its been too long since ive been eyeing this bad boi here. And i dont quite like naked bikes. Well, thanksalot!
@Angah Ngerah I'm pretty used to sport riding position so it wasn't an issue for me, but recently did a really slow 90-100 km/h ride on the highway to/from Seremban I can feel the soreness but then again been a while since last did a long ride due to lockdown. But like I said if you practice the proper technique you won't feel it.. Plus 60km going at 120km/h is about 30 mins of riding.. I don't think that a long time on the bike. Happy shopping!
I'm not sure what brand, it's not original Akrapovic just some exhaust maybe made in China or Indonesia.. Probably can find it on Shopee or other online platform..
For newbies better go for this bike against 250, especially transitions to fairings bike from moped. You will learn a lot on what to do and what no to do before upgrading to higher CC's (cornering, rev match and etc). Plus side owning this wouldn't hurt your pocket at all even to use it daily. Good fuel consumption and moped-like maintenance cost. Of course the major down side is on the speed, which I don't think a huge problem. Just my 2 cents, better to skip 250 if all you need is better speed.
I didn't see the original, but if there's a link or clamp on the muffler joining the pipe then yes it's possible. If there is none (welded as one piece) then you either have to chop it and join the muffler or get a full system with the muffler.
Imo i wouldn't really recommend the R15 the position is abit aggressive for me probs cuz im relatively tall (180cm) i would recommend u make the jump up to a 250. im riding a Z250 now and it's really enjoyable the sound of the parallel twin also has a nicer note
If you plan to be using it long term maybe a 250 since it's the biggest in B2 class before you finally go up to the next one. Choice between a naked or sport bike is up to you to decide which you prefer..
If it's your first time, you will probably feel some aches as your body is not conditioned yet, but after a few times you should get used to it. Even though the forward lean is not as much as sports bike but if you practice using your lower body/core then you won't feel the fatigue that much. The naked bike position will definitely be more comfortable.
Boss, is this controlling from the hand or from the feet? I want to surprise my husband for this bike but I once hear he said he want motorbike suit his height 177cm and the one not controlling with hand/finger.
I don't understand you.. All motorcycles uses hand to control the throttle and steering. If you mean gear/clutch, then yes this motorcycle is manual gear and clutch. Maybe you are looking for a scooter which is automatic gear. However there is no such motorcycle that doesn't require operation without hand..
Kalau nak lebih praktikal Y15 super kapcai boleh pasang box sebagainya, kalau pakai R1S ni nanti pasang box dah kurang cantik, posisi riding pun Y15 lebih comfort sebab R1S kena sport riding sikit.
Hi, my height is around 164cm (last time i checked a couple years ago). Also got big tummy, is the bike suitable for someone like me? I do have experience riding bike with clutch.
Even at my height of 169cm I have to tip-toe cause this bike's seat height is quite high, so you will probably need some practice handling the bike when not moving, otherwise I don't see any issue.
Bro nak tanya, kalau r15 ni standard kilang bleh terus letak ekzos aftermarket ke? Kalau moped cam ysuku ni kena modified dlu baru bleh tukar exhaust. Kalau yamaha r15 ni engine x sentuh still bleh tukar trus ke ekzos akropovic tu?
Kalau slip-on yang reka khas untuk moto, selalunya tak perlu sebab brand exhaust dah buat kajian supaya boleh slip-on terus tanpa tune. Kalau full system atau kena modified system pipe seperti potong/welding sebaiknya dyno dan tune lepas buat. Ramai yang modified tanpa tune, jalan macam biasa, kalau run "rich" sikit bakar minyak lebih OK lagi, kalau run "lean" bahaya boleh rosak engine. Kalau beli original exhaust system lebih selamat, nak beli yang imitation ikut nasib. Lebih baik buat dyno run, check status dulu, kalau perlu, baru buat tuning.
Kalau tak silap.. Tak ada slip on sebab exhaust original memang single piece tak boleh buka/pisah.. Jadi brand exhaust akan keluarkan full system exhaust. Banyak atas jalan sekarang sama ada cari kedai exhaust untuk buat custom pipe dengan muffler atau nak jimat duit, potong pipe asal dan welding muffler. Kalau buat cara ni elok bawa pergi dyno run untuk check status. Kalau dah run abang tuner akan nasihat sama ada perlu tune atau tak. Kalau perlu tune, kena keluar duit untuk beli tuning kit & kos untuk dyno + tuning.
@@thesighbored Unfortunately, its popularity among younger, under-matured riders has made it to be considered trashy by people who rides bigger bikes who thought of it as kinda like a paper tiger, only looks, no power under.
Well it's not nice to judge but sometimes it's easy for people to stereotype.. Sometimes those with the big bikes can't even ride as well as the ones on smaller bikes..
@@thesighbored Totally agrees with you on this matter mate. Hope you could produce more reviews of products and bikes in the future after all of this Covid senanigans is over. I look forward to seeing your videos as they are the only few videos I could understand that talks about motorcycle from another ASEAN country where I could relate to a lot of things that is talked about. Our riding conditions is just so different to people in the West so much to the point that I can not relate to them at all.
@@thesighbored thank you very much, I have thinking of getting the HJC F70, but many people advice me to get a Shoei instead for it's safety, could you share some of your thoughts about that?
I tried the F70, you can have a look at that video.. Depending on what model Shoei you are getting you need to compare the safety rating, the F70 had a decent safety rating for it's class..
@@thesighbored I'm planning to get either the F70 or the GT Air 2, of course the Shoei is more expensive but I'm wondering is it worth it to spend almost double the price
I didn't try the GT Air 2 so I cannot comment much on that Shoei helmet, the F70 is a new model can feel a bit heavy with some minor quirks to be worked out by the HJC folks as mentioned in my review so something to take into consideration, as Shoei's GT Air line as been around for a while now.
Apology for irrelevant questions, can’t get genuine answer. when can anybody retake Computer test for license if they failed for first time, immediately or need to make another appointment? somebody please help.
I'm not 100% sure, but if not mistaken, you have to arrange a other exam date to take it again, I don't think there's option to re-sit the exam on the spot. That's how they make money by charging again.. 😅

Enjoy your bike.. Ride safe and safe ride!
Hey bro, what is your moto vlogging setup?
If you search motovlog setup on the channel you can see it for the RPHA11
All is ok , please install dual abs and projector light !!!
I think it's fine like that but you can always do aftermarket modification
I would ask you if I have 7000rm what is the most great bick even second hand, is the R15 the suitable?
What's a great bick? I don't understand
Bro we want dual channel #abs on R15 v3...
After dual #abs it would be perfect...
Love from Bangladesh... 🤍
Racing bike,r15 good stylists looking
Yes it has a quite sporty design
Nice bro
Thanks for viewing!
How comfortable you when you’re riding?
It felt quite comfortable, I'm used to the position since my ZX6R is a bit more aggressive than this so it doesn't feel bad for me.
any chance to review CFmoto 250sr? priced at rm16k
If I have a chance to try one I will do my best to review it..
I like
Like? Then must buy! Haha
Bro can you do a honda CBR150 review..?
If I get to try one I will do my best to review it :)
I buy this bike instead y15 cuz have a bigger petrol tank and bigger front fork..😁
Nice :)
y16
Good choice brother
Can u do reviews on MT15
If I manage to try one I will review it..
complete guide bro. tfikir drpd ambul ysuku or rs, alang2 baik r1s ni. hehe
Kalau nak lebih praktikal Y15 super kapcai boleh pasang box sebagainya, kalau pakai R1S ni nanti pasang box dah kurang cantik, posisi riding pun Y15 lebih comfort sebab R1S kena sport riding sikit.
Which engine oil is used in this moto?
I'm not sure but should be the standard oil supplied by Yamaha..
😂😂 I drive this road daily now that the train station is fully functional
Drive to park at the train station and go to work?
gd review ..pls compare with cbr150r
If I have a chance to try it I'll do my best
@@thesighbored tq.. have u review cbr250rr?
Didn't, no chance to try yet.. Just look at show room
@@thesighbored ok
Can I put size 150 for rear tire?
I think you can, not 100% sure, but it's probably going to make the bike perform slower since will be heavier
Nice bike
Yes it has a sporty look
Hi, my height is around 164cm (last time i checked a couple years ago). Also got big tummy, is the bike suitable for someone like me? I do have experience riding bike with clutch.
Even at my height of 169cm I have to tip-toe cause this bike's seat height is quite high, so you will probably need some practice handling the bike when not moving, otherwise I don't see any issue.
@@thesighbored thank you very much. Thinking of buying one once all this mco thingy is over.
Happy shopping! 2 weeks more to go 😣
bro. r15 or ktm rc200 which is the best
I haven't tried the latest RC200 it's been a long time since I tried it.. So I think I would go with the R15
R15 for sure
Can try to review r25?
If I have the chance to try one I will do my best!
Bro nak tanya, kalau r15 ni standard kilang bleh terus letak ekzos aftermarket ke? Kalau moped cam ysuku ni kena modified dlu baru bleh tukar exhaust. Kalau yamaha r15 ni engine x sentuh still bleh tukar trus ke ekzos akropovic tu?
Kalau slip-on yang reka khas untuk moto, selalunya tak perlu sebab brand exhaust dah buat kajian supaya boleh slip-on terus tanpa tune. Kalau full system atau kena modified system pipe seperti potong/welding sebaiknya dyno dan tune lepas buat. Ramai yang modified tanpa tune, jalan macam biasa, kalau run "rich" sikit bakar minyak lebih OK lagi, kalau run "lean" bahaya boleh rosak engine.
Kalau beli original exhaust system lebih selamat, nak beli yang imitation ikut nasib. Lebih baik buat dyno run, check status dulu, kalau perlu, baru buat tuning.
@@thesighbored apa contoh brand slip on yang dh direka khas untuk r15 ni?
Kalau tak silap.. Tak ada slip on sebab exhaust original memang single piece tak boleh buka/pisah.. Jadi brand exhaust akan keluarkan full system exhaust. Banyak atas jalan sekarang sama ada cari kedai exhaust untuk buat custom pipe dengan muffler atau nak jimat duit, potong pipe asal dan welding muffler. Kalau buat cara ni elok bawa pergi dyno run untuk check status. Kalau dah run abang tuner akan nasihat sama ada perlu tune atau tak. Kalau perlu tune, kena keluar duit untuk beli tuning kit & kos untuk dyno + tuning.
Mmg cantik.. Tp xtau la aku mcm lbh rindu tzm..
TZM nak beli + baik pulih nanti cost lagi tinggi dari R15 baru ni haha
tzm aku ada..bawak keluar sekali sekala lepaskan rindu
after own tzm 150..i buy this r15 just bcoz of the body.tzm have ypvs..r15 have vva that i think enough.
Nice, enjoy your R1S!
@@thesighbored u too bro..btw hai dari melaka
Thanks! Stay safe in Melaka!
Is it recommended to buy at 19?
Yes I think it's great to start on this
Lawa....
I thought the seat height for R15 v3 was 815mm? BTW, why does the R15 v3 seat height looks shorter than mt 25 even though it's said to be 780mm?
That's what the spec said.. Having sat on both I feel the R15 is a little higher than the MT-25.
r15 seat is higher and mt 15 even higher than r15. depends on your height lah
Mind if ask? I'm 158cm ...can I ride this bike? I mean I love this bike but not tall enough :(
I would say yes you can, you just have to tip-toe or learn the technique for shorter riders to adapt in handling the bike
@@thesighbored alright thank you sir! 🥰
OLDER MODEL R15 HAVE SLIPPER CLUTCH?
I'm not sure, but I don't think they have it.
ya i owned the 2018 version. it has
I'm not sure what he meant about older model, I think he was talking about V2 or V1 models of the R15? Those don't have slipper clutch right?
In Indian version R15 V1,R15 V2 & R15 S which are older models didn't had slipper clutch.
The R15 is very popular here in Vietnam
That's good.. It's a nice looking bike and rides good too
@@thesighbored Unfortunately, its popularity among younger, under-matured riders has made it to be considered trashy by people who rides bigger bikes who thought of it as kinda like a paper tiger, only looks, no power under.
Well it's not nice to judge but sometimes it's easy for people to stereotype.. Sometimes those with the big bikes can't even ride as well as the ones on smaller bikes..
@@thesighbored Totally agrees with you on this matter mate. Hope you could produce more reviews of products and bikes in the future after all of this Covid senanigans is over. I look forward to seeing your videos as they are the only few videos I could understand that talks about motorcycle from another ASEAN country where I could relate to a lot of things that is talked about. Our riding conditions is just so different to people in the West so much to the point that I can not relate to them at all.
Sure.. Yeah Covid still being annoying.. Stay safe!
Wahh cantik amin😭🥰🤲
Kasi angkat satu biji
Hey bro do you still have this bike?
Sorry, no this is not my bike
"yeah, red light" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
What helmet is that you are wearing in the video?
HJC RPHA11
@@thesighbored thank you very much, I have thinking of getting the HJC F70, but many people advice me to get a Shoei instead for it's safety, could you share some of your thoughts about that?
I tried the F70, you can have a look at that video.. Depending on what model Shoei you are getting you need to compare the safety rating, the F70 had a decent safety rating for it's class..
@@thesighbored I'm planning to get either the F70 or the GT Air 2, of course the Shoei is more expensive but I'm wondering is it worth it to spend almost double the price
I didn't try the GT Air 2 so I cannot comment much on that Shoei helmet, the F70 is a new model can feel a bit heavy with some minor quirks to be worked out by the HJC folks as mentioned in my review so something to take into consideration, as Shoei's GT Air line as been around for a while now.
But why would you do the a2 or a driver license to ride a 150ccm bike
You can also do A1 and ride a 125ccm it is nearly the same
The license class and bracket is different in Malaysia. B2 - anything below 250cc; B - unlimited.
Frant rear tyre size
F 100 / R 140
Respect the signals bro...hahahaha
Hahahaha :P
is this bike suitable for 180cm riders?
I don't think it will be a problem for taller riders, maybe the bike size might be slightly small but the ride height should still be OK
Hai abg saibot 😁
Hi Jul 😜
Semoga uang terkumpul cukup untuk beli r15v3 aminnn .
👍🏼 Semoga berjaya 🙏🏼
R .1S 😂
Apology for irrelevant questions, can’t get genuine answer. when can anybody retake Computer test for license if they failed for first time, immediately or need to make another appointment? somebody please help.
I'm not 100% sure, but if not mistaken, you have to arrange a other exam date to take it again, I don't think there's option to re-sit the exam on the spot. That's how they make money by charging again.. 😅
Your driving school should be able to advise you on the process..
Whta is thr price
Back then for new R15 it was roughly MYR 12,000 body price without road tax and insurance.
