Yamaha India has revised its sporty offering, the R15 V4, for the new year, in addition to its scooters. It now has minor mechanical and feature changes, but the design and hardware remain the same. Here’s a full account of all of its important features, including fuel efficiency, specifications, and more.
What are the Yamaha YZF R15 V4’s specifications and fuel economy?
The R15 is powered by a 155cc single-cylinder VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) engine. It produces 18.1bhp and 14.2Nm and is linked to a six-speed gearbox. Yamaha even includes a quick-shifter as an option with the special edition versions. The R15’s engine is rev-happy and polished, with a power range that is linearly distributed. It returned an outstanding 51.4kmpl during the BikeWale fuel-efficiency test. When combined with the R15’s 11-litre fuel tank, the R15 has a range of around 550 kilometres. However, the figures may vary slightly depending on your riding style and the conditions.
What colours are available for the Yamaha YZF R15 V4?
The Yamaha R15 V4 is available in two trim levels: standard and M. The former comes in four different colours: Metallic Red, Dark Knight, Racing Blue, and Intensity White. Meanwhile, the M model is available in silver, white, and blue. The latter appears to be more sporty and resembles the massive R1M. Overall, the R15 appears appealing, and its design has improved over the years.
