Yamaha YZF R15 V4.0

Introduction

• The Yamaha YZF R15 V4.0 is a small, yet sporty motorcycle designed as an entry level ‘racing-style’ bike.​
• Its design is inspired from bigger Yamaha race bikes, and its mini-superbike look attracts young buyers.
• It is more powerful than a scooter, but not as wild as big superbikes, so balancing is easier for newer riders as well.
• This bike can reach a speed of 140kmph, and its quick acceleration is great on roads and daily commute.
• Some variants include a quick shifter for clutch-less upshifts for smooth and fast gear changes.

Features and Equipment

• The YZF R15 V4.0 comes with LED headlights and DRLs which provide good visibility and style.

• This bike’s dual-channel ABS prevents wheel lock-up during a sudden halt.
• Yamaha's Variable Valve Actuation technology optimises power delivery at different engine speeds.

Engine and Gearbox

• The Yamaha YZF R15 V4.0 is powered by a 155cc engine, which is good for both city and highway rides.
