Indian youngsters are always crazy about fully faired motorcycles. Yamaha came to know about this in very early phase of Indian Two wheeler market transition before a decade. Since 2008 the R15 had a remarkable space in Indian Two wheeler market. The all new Yamaha R15 V3 is a fully faired premium motorcycle in the 150cc tier. The design is inspired by its elder sibling, the R1. The bike looks sharp and aggressive with its track-focused design. From its first version Yamaha has updated the motorcycle in design perspectives and in performance wise too. But the YZF R15 V3 is said to be a benchmark in the series of R15 legacy!
Performance tells us the story!

The single cylinder, four valve engine delivers a maximum power output of 19bhp at 10,000rpm and a peak torque output of 15Nm at 8,500rpm. The transmission is taken care by 6-speed manual gearbox with quick shifter and slipper clutch. The performance achieved by the engine is also due to its electronic fuel injection system which gives quick response to the throttle and also during revs.
Built-up quality.
The New YZF R15 v3 has deltabox frame as like its predecessor R15 v2. But the fuel tank is instead made up of fibre this time to reduce the Net weight of the vehicle. The welding doesn’t looks satisfying in some of the places, namely near the visor. With the sleek and sharper aerodynamic design with improved riding position, broad rear tires YZF R15 V3 dominates the 150cc segment.
Technically speaking.
