Expert's Opinion

BDRider's Take Editorial

The YZF-R15 Version 1 established Yamaha's 150cc supersport concept in India in 2008. Its 149.8cc fuel-injected engine, Deltabox frame, 6-speed transmission and Monocross suspension were key parts of its original sports-bike specification.

Yamaha YZF-R15 Version 1 Review

The first-generation R15 combines a 149.8cc liquid-cooled four-valve engine with a Deltabox chassis, six-speed transmission and Monocross rear suspension.

The 149.8cc liquid-cooled, 4-valve fuel-injected engine produces about 17 PS and 15 Nm.

The original R15 uses full fairing and R-series-inspired styling with an approximately 800 mm seat height.

A conventional telescopic front fork and Monocross rear suspension are mounted to the Deltabox chassis.

The bike uses disc brakes front and rear and does not have ABS.

Published fuel-consumption figures are around 32 km/l, with actual economy depending on conditions.

Fuel injection, liquid cooling, four valves, Deltabox frame and Monocross suspension were notable equipment for its class when introduced.

Yamaha introduced the YZF-R15 in India in 2008 as a 150cc supersport model based on the YZF-R series design philosophy.
