If anybody is planning to buy Yamaha R15 version 2.0 I would suggest not to go for version 2.0 rather go for the new Yamaha R15 S. The reasons for not buying R15 v2 and to buy R15s are as follows
- Pillion Seat
The pillion seat is very annoying and uncomfortable, especially when going on journeys greater than 5km, pillion gets irritated as the seat is really small
- Mileage
The milage of R15 V2 is less as compared to the new R15 S as the newer version is 14kg less which adds to the mileage
- Body Cowling
Rear cowling under the pillion seat is quite weak in terms of quality , there are chances of getting the cowling loose and detaching from the chassis very often as they are now well intact into the chassis and gets loose with time
( NOTE: I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM)
- Top Speed
Due to being 14kg heavier than the R15 s the top speed is also a bit less ( R15 V2 Top Speed= 135km/hr , R15 S Top Speed= 143km/hr approx)
FINAL VERDICT
I own the R15 V2 and my cousin has the R15s model , haven ridden both for a long time I would suggest not to buy R15 V2 rather go for R15s keeping in mind all the above points
