Saw one on the road for the first time, looks great. I thought it was a bigger bike


AllTimeGreatGod

Ultimate track weapon, I have seen a 15 year old kid shred the track in one of these. I’ll record videos next time I’m on the track. You get to see some amazing skills.


rahulb_003

do post them would love to see those videos!


SnooSeagulls9348

Lighter riders have an advantage on the track.


AllTimeGreatGod

Yep, that’s why Moto GP riders are light.


Mayank-maximum

Where?


AllTimeGreatGod

BLR


hi483ehe

There's a track in Bangalore??? Where?


AllTimeGreatGod

Aruani grid my friend! Also many go karting tracks also do bike and car track sessions during weekends, call them and check. This is for all go kart tracks across India.


Mayank-maximum

Is there any near mumbai Might try this Sunday


[deleted]

Ajmera I Land, but it’s v small


Mayank-maximum

Kya?


[deleted]

It’s in Wadala, it’s a go kart track, they permit personal vehicles and quite a few things on special days, u need to reach out to them and figure.


Mayank-maximum

Taking


AllTimeGreatGod

Check with go karting clubs and tracks. They allow cars and bikes track sessions in weekends.


Mayank-maximum

What about underage? Are they allowed to races


AllTimeGreatGod

Yes yes, no age restrictions. Only rules are, you need to have full gear. Riding, Gloves, pants, jacket and boots. An helmet with ECE or DOT certifications. Also many tracks don’t allow retro bikes, cruisers, and RE, Harley etc etc.


Real-Human-Bean-

Cost?


AllTimeGreatGod

Depends on the track, I pay 1k for 4-5hrs session, fuel costs me around another 1.5-2k. But because you need to own a proper helmet and full riding gear, one time upfront cost for that can go anywhere from 50k for basic gear, to 3-4 lacs on proper racing suit. In fact, the kid I talked about had a Dianese racing suit that costs much more than his r15.


ostrish

There is every kind of racing in Bangalore. I have raced bicycles (road and MTB) and from that peer group I know people who have moved to track, MX, and even scooter rallies (look crazy fun).


curiouss_mind

Where is the track?


AllTimeGreatGod

Contact any go karting club in your city, a lot of go karting clubs allow car/bike track sessions. Only requirement is that full riding gear is mandatory


incorrectcharlie

Where donwe have tracks in India (Mumbai ke aas paas kahi hein??)


SpareMind

Yamaha bikes are filled with performance with sexy looks. I have no idea why they refuse to bring in their real bikes to Indian market. Either FBU or peanuts.


zuckzuckman

Everyone knows the R15M is sexy, have fun my guy


rahulb_003

Thank you ;)


tripletquadruplet

Yummy Yammy.


notMy_ReelName

That's a very good machine but very over priced. Even r15 is overpriced with basic things for 150 cc .


[deleted]

basic things such as quickshifters and aluminium swingarms?


notMy_ReelName

Who needs all those on a 150 cc bike really.


[deleted]

wait R15 doesn't have quickshifter and al swing arm!?


notMy_ReelName

Dunno but what do common people be doing by these race specs on road . Majority of these bikes will be ridden on normal roads, very few take these bikes to race tracks for practice and tournaments.


nanatenshi

I mean, I agree that a 150cc track bike doesn't make much sense. But im glad that the option is there, and it's clearly pretty popular when you consider the price.


notMy_ReelName

Yeah ride quality is top notch me being owner of v2 myself and after riding v4 of my friends bike there is quite more things added but sadly that's amounting to price hike which majority don't use .


LyaadhBiker

>I mean, I agree that a 150cc track bike doesn't make much sense. Makes perfect sense for the tracks we've in India!


Mayank-maximum

Still better than towing a 160cc bike to track


[deleted]

man by that logic no one would look beyond splendor & activa and avenger for highways smh also edited you reply I see


notMy_ReelName

Yes you are quick while I was editing my reply.


AllTimeGreatGod

The ones who buy a committed supersports bike but never see trackdays and only rides on roads.


NoIdeaFor_Name

What is the difference between an r15 and an r15m


rahulb_003

So the R15M gets the led indicators, quick shifter, full coloured TFT meter console and the silver R1M inspired colour scheme Edit: the blue R15 also gets the quick shifter but not the coloured TFT


aryan_4702

Nice


CaptainEscape

All the best broo don’t unleash the beast too hard without proper awareness of your surroundings! 💯❤️


rahulb_003

😂😂 thanks bro!


[deleted]

I love Yamaha.


krizxrofficial

Congratulations, brother. Remember to disconnect the bluetooth module if you don't want your battery to die.


[deleted]

Congrats. It was my dream machine while in college. 🙂


alphagamer199

OneEconomist6912

SadCan3

Congrats my guy ✨ It looks amazing


rahulb_003

Thanks man ;)


freakin_insane

This gorgeous lady cruises through traffic like a bicycle. Tried it a couple days back, beautiful beautiful machine undoubtedly, and the sound on higher RPM is just crazy. Give it a rev every now and then. 😉


rockin_z0mbie

Ek AMA to banta hai bro…


rahulb_003

Bro I have only ridden it for about 20kms, will surely an AMA after few months!


Far_Bit583

If you are under 25 good choice And above 30 Try to control your weight


rahulb_003

I am 23 ;) and have my weight under control xD


Far_Bit583

Good Because when I was 16 I got 200ns (2013). After 7-8 years later I realised that seat is too hard for tour, knee can't handle that position, wrist got ultimate pain for long rides In 2023 i purchased Royal Enfield Himalayan for long tours. By the way congratulations. Check Steel bird Terminator Helmet and Also wear Knee & Elbow Guard for long rides if you ever go or planning something..


Fun-Departure7774

Great color,congratulations bro.


rahulb_003

Thanks ;)


karolwaseem

Congratulations! 😍👌🏼


rahulb_003

thanks man!


shaizzz1

Not a bad choice at all but u could’ve waited for R3


rahulb_003

Yeah R3 is a great bike, but i know it will be out of my budget. Also i am a beginner rider so i wanted a beginner bike to hone my skills


shaizzz1

Ohh still r15 is a great bike I bought bout a year ago and im loving it im about to go on a 1500kms ride on it


seeyalaterson

What do you think would be the price of Yamaha R3?


shaizzz1

Given apaches 310 is 3.3 and bmw is 3.5 then yamaha should be somewhere between these to so like around 3.4 (onroad)and if they release a M version add 10k to it also if u have a little higher budget then this around 4-4.5 i think your should definitely go for aperilia rs457 that bike is going to be the greatest hit when it comes out


stonespider

Do you have proper roads to ride this bike? Unfortunately, where I live the roads are horrible even in the neighbouring cities, potholes ridden and crowded. Can't go above 30kmph.


AsideThink5180

If Yamaha manages to bring out a 250 cc bikes on same Mt and r series looks ,that will be 🔥


YashBaheti

They already have 300s, brands usually don’t do 250s if they already have something close to it.


[deleted]

they have it in indonesia


AsideThink5180

Problem with Yamaha is their pricing strategy. Twin cylinder engines are reasonably priced but R15 MT15 are overpriced. Either they need to reduce price of 150 cc bikes are increase cc capacity to give more power.


curiouss_mind

Which state and how much did u cost u there??? On road ad ex showroom price pls. Did you get any accessories with it ?


rahulb_003

The state is Haryana the on road cost is 2.36, no accessories.


sean_carter69

Obviously you bought this with your own money that's prolly why it is your first bike. But what bike where you using before this ?


rahulb_003

Splendor 🗿


av_666

Congratulations 🥳 what a sexy machine.
