Comfort and Convenience
What a beautiful machine! It would be the first-ever statement one whispers after taking a glance at the R15 V4, and in the racing blue colour shade, it even looks fantastic. But for me, the real eye candy is a Metallic Grey shade that only comes with the M-sport Variant. Every iteration of the R15 looked irresistible, and the latest V4 is no different. The stance and styling make the bike look like a segment above. Yeh! more buck for your bang, huhh!
The front fascia of the fourth-gen R15 is designed in tandem with the mighty Yamaha YZF-R7. The bi-function LED projector headlamp positioned inside a faux air scoop with sharp-looking DRLs on either side makes it appear more aggressive than ever. Moreover, the illumination from the headlamp is so excellent to keep you confident enough to ride out fast during the dark.The bike looks outstandingly sporty, just like the V3, when viewed from the sides. The contrasting gloss-matte Racing Blue colour is therapy for the eyes. The windscreen is now enhanced, as well as there are a lot of cuts and creases on the body to make it even more aerodynamic. The fuel tank is newly designed to accommodate your knees comfortably; however, the fuel tank capacity remains the same as 11-litres.
I have always complained about the build quality of the R15 V3. Infact, upon hard pressing, the tank panel was used to dislocate. More-so-over, the plastic quality and switches were highly compromised. Thankfully, Yamaha rectified all the build quality issues, and now the overall fit and finish of the bike feel a notch above, giving a premium experience to its buyers.
