Description
Introduction: YAMAHA. The Japanese automobile manufacturer’s motto “Revs Your Heart,” is in its truest form in the YZF R15 from the company in Bangladesh. If you are a Bangladeshi biker, or else, a biker from the subcontinent, you must know the meaning very well. YAMAHA has recently updated their R15 bike once again from top to bottom. The 150cc segment bike has its own league in the market with, we can say a cult following. The bike is now in its third avatar and called the YAMAHA YZF R15 Version 3.0. The “Monster Edition” comes with liveries that are derived from the MotoGP bike as the title sponsor of that bike is Monster Energy. Everything else is the same to the Indian edition.

The bike has now got Dual Channel ABS for better braking performance with ensured safety. There are new LED headlight and taillight set, a new instrument cluster, a more aggressive yet aerodynamic body and so more. The only catch though in the Indian version is that as it is modified to suit the Indian subcontinent’s streets, there is no USD forks up front and so it gets a telescopic set, which are honestly, very playful for our general road conditions.
The YAMAHA-patented “Deltabox” frame is still present and upgraded to give the best possible performance.
The color options of this bike are all very attractive in the Indian and Indonesian edition. But the Monster Energy edition is only available in the trademark Black & Blue color.
The bike has new graphical presentation in its body that enhances the presence of the bike combined with the new panels and iconic graphics.

Answer by : jojo on Dec 24, 2020 06:24:56 AM - Is YAMAHA YZF R15 Version 3.0 good for long rides?
Yes, for the rider mostly. The YAMAHA YZF R15 Version 3.0 is really good for highway rides. It has a dependable setup in terms of ergonomics and on top of all of these, it has a good, constant performance on the highways… So, it is very much doable to take this bike on long rides on the highways. There are many bikers who do long rides with this bike for a long time. But the catch is, for many riders, the seating posture is not that great considering the high saddle and the positioning of the handlebars which gives some aches in the palms of the rider on the very first rides. However, this becomes almost a non-issue for regular users. The bike is meant for solo rides though as the pillion seat is not comfortable or equipped enough for support for long-duration rides.
