R15 V3 IS IT WORTH IT?



R15 v3 , well it looks better than the previous model. I got to say that this new R15 has a good look. Front , side and back it looks like it got the design from its brother , the latest R6 2017. The design look striking, eye catching. Yep sure you guys could grab some girls with this bike, lol.


 Look at the above picture , u see that?? yes im talking about its meter panel. This is some serious upgrade from the last model. Well the problem is , the R15 v3 for india , it doesn't come with USD fork. Unlike malaysia R15 , they got USD fork. Why Yamaha india?? why did this to Yamaha fan in india?? and still no ABS for R15 v3 for both malaysia and india ?? please do something about it.







                            (The R15 V3 makes 19 bhp and 15.1 Nm of peak torque)


The new-gen R15 v3 gets a some upgrade in the engine. It is a 155 cc, single-cylinder liquid cooled engine which makes 19 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 15.1 Nm of peak torque at 8,500 rpm. Then there is slick 6-speed transmission as well. But the biggest upgrade that the engine gets is the variable valve actuation or VVA. It's variable valve timing in plain speak and its job primarily is to get the engine to pump out more torque and power at both ends of the rev range. This means that you start from the second gear, rev hard and as you go up the gears, you feel the insides of the bike churning and doling out a sumptuous spread of power and torque right from 5,000 rpm till the red line. I saw the bike reaching illegal speeds in less time than it takes to tell about it and i kind of liked it!
Well my conlcusion is whether this bike is worth it or not?? I say yes it is worth it , because the design is good , the engine is pretty powerfull and its fit with the price. Im going to get this bike soon.
