Yamaha’s YZF-R15 has offered riders the ultimate sportbike in its 150cc segment, managing to retain the unadulterated feel of its legendary mentors, the supersports YZF-R6 and R1.

Leaned over mid-corner, tires fiercely gripping the tarmac, its engine screaming out the high revs it craves, this Yamaha has treated aspiring sportbike riders ever since its launch. The lean and compact, technology-packed R15 represents a mean package, accelerating, turning and stopping with the aggression of a precision, laser-guided missile.

The list of changes is extensive. Although the aggressive twin-headlights remain familiar, there’s a beefier mid-fairing region, now with slotted vents that Yamaha claim improve the motorcycle’s aerodynamic efficiency by 4 percent. A stylish new mock carbon fiber panel looks a part of the frame, while V 2.0 also boasts an extensively altered, steeply angled and waspish looking split-seat.
