Yamaha YZF-R15 (150cc)

[salem77]

will look better with 2-seater

[unwanted.revival]

Wah! serious ar 4k? according to yamaha communications plaza, machine price is 5k or more. If its really 4K at wing yap then i would go for it sia!

[surfbug]

but its a 4-stroker .. .. can it still run ?

[unwanted.revival]

surely it would lose out to 2-stroke 2B bikes in a race, but then again not everyone races. Im sure this bike's got enough power n speed for the streets of singapore.

[Man Donut]

4 stroke vs 2 stroke, a long war since the begin of motoring....both got pros and cons.

Any 2 stroker would leave this yammie behind. But 4 stroke yammie is meant to be economical and have a decent amount of speed. Enough for your daily tom, **** and harry.

I guess the power is closer to a TA200 with slightly more nimble and lighter features... SOHC lose out on top but less a cam means lighter bodies.

I called wing yap motor and they quoted me 6.8K machine price for YZF-R15.

 

where got 4k sia.

[mild_slevin]

rear tail got my kup looks...

[kmjoe]

how about the fc? how much km/l? is the size as small as a krr?

[tongkol]

I would get the FZ150i and use R15 rear disc on it.

[unwanted.revival]

Based on reviews and bike owners, the FC of this bike is about 35-40km/l. Size wise, i would say its about the same size as KR but slightly bigger as the fairings are wider than it appears in photos.

[kmjoe]

wow... not bad... intrested to get it as my 1st bike liao haha... but how u guys think comparing this to cbf 150?

[unwanted.revival]

same here la. But price wise still not certain. Coz it seems like its gonna be like 8.5K or more OTR for P platers under 21. The insurance ex sia.

U want to compare the R15 with CBF150 or CBR150?

To me, this bike wins both CBF n CBR in terms of looks. Power and speed wise im not so sure but i tink if there is any difference, it shouldnt be much.

been to kallang leisure park today. saw r15. been there by chance, didnt know there's a show today. dam nice. but much more smaller. seat higher then sp. check out the others bike there too =) especially the v-max.

[crazydj]

I went to Kallang Leisure Park yesterday. Went to feel the R15. In my opinion, its not really as fancy as i expected it to be.

 

YZF-R15

It size is slightly smaller than SP but bigger than KR. The controls feel, well plastic. But for its price of 6.5k OTR w/o Insurance i find its quite worth it. But when i took a sit on it, i was quite dissappointed. It was SO SMALL for me! My legs were having a hard time trying to fit under the tank. It feels very constricted for taller riders like me. (1.82m) But the posture was quite relaxed. In between SP/KR and a normal street bike. I wasnt really slowched so much forward. I just had to learn forward a little. But overall, the bike feels very... cheap. Can down $500 and ride off. Free KBC Fullface helmet.

 

FZ150I

I finally sat on the FZ150I for butt testing. Its very comfortable, but it feels a teeny bit small for me. But i had a feeling that it was very light. The meter feels plasticky and cheepo in my opinion. And the bike seat is much lower than the YBR seat i am used to. The controls just feel so plastic to me. But i can say that is it very comfortable to sit on. The positioning is slightly, a lil bit hunched forward as i think that the handlebar is low. This bike is selling for 5.7k OTR w/o insurance.

 

When i was there i really couldnt be bother to look at the models. Was way much interested in the bikes anyway. I couldnt stop checking out the FZ6 with the undertail exhaust. Even my friend can see that i targeting that bike haha. But the roadshow really damn sad. I thought big thing. So small. So little people. The models, well, all i can do is smile. You guys should check out the R15. If the tank was designed to fit my legs easily and the footrest was placed more to the back, i think it would be a winner for me.

[firefox87]

u so tall, go ride scrambler la! haha.. but $500 d/p and 0% interest with free KBC helmet! all i can say is that the bike is SOOO worth it! lol.. nvm.. will go check it out later. my friend might be interested in it.

[unwanted.revival]

yar man. Maybe the bike's too small for someone around 1.82m but should be

fine for guys around 1.6-1.7m. 6.5K otr is kinda cheap but insurance for P platers

is so high. Still super interested though.

[san76]

Hi,

 

I went there to view this bike as well. What do you think:

 

1) Value for money?

2) What do you think abt the specs?

 

Quite interested in this bike but after reading the specs I have queries as this is a new bike.

[unwanted.revival]

I was there a few hours ago too. I tink it is value for money if not for the high insurance cost in my case. Its like a mini version of R1 although the tail isnt dat nice and the tyres are skinny. Specs are ok for me as basically i want a 4 stroke bike with good FC which can go up to 130-140 km/h. The R15 fits these features well and it has that sporty look!

[Ah_Pet]

For R15 owner out there.. Jus be careful with stock R15 tires "MRF", those tires are meant for Off Road(sand) use.. As pulsar are using the same.. Change IT!
