You might be wondering why I am talking about Yamaha R15 in this post. Yes, the R15 is one of the most powerful motorcycles ever produced by Yamaha. This makes it the most desirable model in the R15 line. The V2 model is a bit cheaper than the V3 model. However, the V2 model doesn't have any additional features. You can consider the V3 model to be the perfect model. It has all the features you would want in a motorcycle. You can check out the full specs of both the yamaha r15 v3 and the  yamaha r15 v2 model below.

Pros

cons

Styling - It looks good

Headlamps - Not that bright. I would prefer a projector setup

Handling - Just awesome

Spares are a bit expensive - No complaints though

Engine - The engine is sweet. Rev it upto 7k and you will know

Need to rev it upto 5k at least to get some performance. So it is a bit difficult to ride in the city

Brakes - Nissin brakes provide really good stopping power and feedback

Front tire is a bit difficult to get - Had to ride 200 kms one way to get my front tire replaced.


R15 v3 vs R15 v2 which is better (Editor Choice) ?

R15 V3 uses better tires when compared to the present version. The front measures 100/80-17 while the rear used on V3 is massive 140/70-17. This adds more traction to R15 as a newly developed high-performance engine sends much more power to the rear wheel in comparison to the old version.
