When Yamaha launched the R15 way back in 2008, it set new benchmarks in dynamics and race track performance. Later, when Yamaha revised the R15 into a mini R6, it just captivated the minds of every kind of rider. Whether it was the design or the performance, the motorcycle was an instant hit among buyers and started selling in good numbers. We at MotorBeam have reviewed the R15 extensively. Whether it was the stand-alone review, comparison tests or comparison with all the performance bikes in our ultimate performance bike shootout, the Yamaha R15 scored high when it came to dynamics.The switchgear is of high quality.
The speedometer looks racy and the white backlit is the best choice in our opinion. The bike comes with a temperature gauge rather than a temperature bar. Though both are equally good, we prefer the bar readings. Once the reserve bar starts blinking, a new F tripmeter shows you how many kms you are doing on reserve fuel, helping you to judge how many kms you can go on reserve(advisable to fill immediately after hitting reserve). There are two trip meters and an OBD port indicator. Surprisingly a clock has been omitted.
