Yamaha YZF-R15 V3 Video Review by Rahul Mazumder

Yamaha R15 Version 3 Video Review: YouTube user Ride with Rahul is here with his detailed and honest review of Yamaha R15 V3. Explaining the differences between R15 V2 and R15 V3 in first few minutes, Rahul moves ahead by explaining feedback from tyres, suspension and other components that make the ride sportier than ever. He recommends using INR 2200 worth Yamaha supplied frame sliders as they are very helpful in saving the bike during sudden fall. He says 0-100 kmph comes in 10.22 seconds, making it comparable to 200cc Indian bikes for sure. Yamaha has made the bike better for long riders for sure.

Yamaha R15 Version 3 Video Review

Direct YouTube Link R15 V3 feels easy to pull on city roads due to lightweight body while one hour of riding gave Rahul a decent feedback in terms of comfort while riding at slower speeds. Slipper clutch brings effortless shifting while front curved windshield looks and works perfect. R15 Version 3 looks bigger than its actual size with R6 and R1 inspired design lines. Speeds post 130 kmph increase very slowly while 100 kmph feels like a bless in sixth gear. It even feels planted when lowering on highway corners. With both mirrors in place, it is not that easy to ride through heavy traffic while folding them makes things easy here.
