YAMAHA YZF R15 review,specifications,price,pictures

15 06 2008

UPDATE: i took a ride of this little beast and its totally different from other bikes of the same 150cc category .

first of .. the engine doesnt cry like somebody has squeezed its throat when u take it to near top speed.. honestly i actually didnt took it to that :) .. has got a smooth throttle response + the feel of this bike is completely different and a good handling capability .. u can actually feel the difference when u rev the engine above 10000rpm..

the CONS ..

..i saw in it was its size … like its a baby r1.. now if u compare this with karizma or hunk the r bigger n more heavy … weight is again a factor with r15 just 120kg and hunk, cbz xtreme r more near to 150kg also the rear tire is thin for a bike of this type..road grip is affected by its weight.. another thing is that this bike is priced high .. i think 1 lakh is too much for a bike like this ./.

in spite of the fact that this is 150cc bike .. the mileage sticks to around 30/Lt…that’s kinda bad.. so do we call it a performer .. or just another fuel sucking bike ..

Yamaha has definitely produced a stunner an UNDER 18 RACING BIKE .. ;)
