            Cornering on R15
            Did an trip to diveghar overall bike is very good the traction control helped me get confidence in corners. Writs hurt a little but that's what you expect from this riding position overall a great bike. Mileage wise it did use more petrol then clam but we were spirited riding so... Seat could be more comfortable for both rider and pillion

            R15 V4 is Awesome
            The Yamaha R15 V4 is a beast of a bike that's perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike. With its sleek design, powerful engine, and advanced features, it's a game-changer in the making . *Performance* The R15 V4 has a peppy and refined engine that churns out 18.1bhp and 14.2Nm of torque. It might feel a tad dull up to 4500rpm, but once the VVA kicks in at 7000rpm, the bike comes into its element, hitting a top speed of around 146kmph ¹. *Handling and Comfort* The bike's handling is sharp and intuitive, making it perfect for city rides and highway cruises. However, the pillion seat can be a bit uncomfortable, and the riding position may take some getting used to ¹. *Features and Technology* The R15 V4 comes with some impressive features, including traction control, a quickshifter, and a Bluetooth-enabled LCD screen. It also has a full-LED headlamp setup with LED DRLs and an LED projector ¹. *Mileage and Maintenance* The bike returns an impressive fuel efficiency figure of 51.4kmpl, making it perfect for daily commutes. Maintenance costs are also relatively low, with servicing costs ranging from ₹1000-1200 Overall, users have praised the R15 V4 for its performance, handling, and features. Some have noted that the bike can be a bit uncomfortable for pillions, but overall, it's a great choice for anyone looking for a sporty bike ².
