My Opinion about this bike
- Yamaha R15 M is a very good bike when it comes to performance and fuel efficiency. The R15 M has a mileage of 50 km/l, which means it is economical to run. It also performs exceptionally well and is easy to handle on the highway.
- However, some riders may not find it comfortable due to its firm suspension and aggressive riding position. Additionally, the R15 M is not ideal for carrying a passenger. On the other hand, the KTM RC 200 offers more power and excellent handling.
- There are other options in the 150cc segment like the Suzuki Gixxer SF 150. While it may not be as technologically advanced, it provides a comfortable ride and has a powerful engine.
