Yamaha YZF R15




Yamaha has launched 150cc YZF R15, which has a profusion of magnetic power with its advanced racing technology designed to give the best performance. The new Yamaha YZF-R15 is designed in such a way so as to give best performance and better mileage, apart from the look of the sport bike. There have been complaints about the tyres being small. But the bike has good grip on the road, especially during rains. So far so good save the small tyres, a matter which is more concerned with the bike buffs.

Engine
Yamaha YZF R15 is India's first liquid-cooled 150cc engine with an all-aluminum cylinder. The YZF R15 cylinder employs DiASil technology (Die-casting Aluminum Silicon), which effectively brings down the engine weight with the enhancement of cooling capacity. The radiator of Yamaha YZF R15 is a compact one to give greater stability while riding, be it in the city or uphill riding. The pick-up of the engine is excellent and it has six-speed transmissions.
The acceleration at low speed is also excellent. The bike delivers maximum power of 17 PS at 8500 rpm and a torque of 15Nm at 7500 rpm and reduces mechanical noise. It uses a forged piston and a 4-valve combustion chamber that adds to the performance. The fuel injection system is so designed to deliver optimal fuel efficiency and also complies with the emission standards.

Design And Comfort
YZF R 15 is one of the high end best looking bikes in India. YZF R-15 almost looks like international YZF R1super bike when seen from distance. The dual head lamps, the rear view mirrors, shape of the tank, seating position all add up to dynamism factor of the bike. This bike does not have a center stand. The handle bars are designed as they are in high-end sports bikes. It simply looks awesome and the riders do have the pride of possessing this performance bike.

Ride And Handling
One of the first noticeable things about YZF R 15 is great acceleration at lower speeds. The convincing reason for adopting thin tyres may be to reduce friction and provide good mileage. The bike has a fuel efficiency of 40 kmpl in cities and 50 kmpl on highways. The bike is completely safe to ride on. The rear disc brakes do make a difference. The bike comes with delta box kind of frame of chassis and mono suspension to give better stability. The tyres are tubeless and Yamaha YZF R15 can be ridden with less friction coupled with all kinds of safety standards.

Variants, Price And Color
The YZF-R15 is offered in 6 super-cool colors: Yamaha Blue, Sunset Red, Midnight Black, Impact Yellow, Graphite  Blazing Red, and Yamaha White
