The Yamaha YZF-R15 is undoubtedly one of the most popular sportbikes in the entire Southeast Asian market. Boasting similar styling as that of its bigger sibling, the YZF-R1, as well as class-leading performance and efficiency figures, it's no surprise that Yamaha's small-displacement bikes are enjoying the success that they currently have in the Asian market.

The Yamaha YZF-R15 has gone through quite a number of iterations over the past several years. Initially making its debut in 2008, the sportbike has transformed into a class-leading entry-level sportbike in Asia. Equipped with a 19-horsepower, 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, the current generation YZF-R15 boasts Yamaha's Variable Valve Actuation technology, which optimizes efficiency at lower RPMs, while maximizing power output at the upper reaches of the rev range. It transfers power to the back wheel via a six-speed transmission equipped with a slipper-assist clutch.

Underpinnings consist of a beautiful gold-anodized inverted fork up front, as well as a preload-adjustable rear monoshock. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes front and rear, while the bike is fitted with 100 and 140 cross-section tires front and rear—small in comparison to that of full-sized sportbikes, but more than enough to provide adequate levels of grip in the city and on twisty roads. The Yamaha YZF-R15 tips the scales at just 137 kgs with a full tank of gas, ready to ride.

Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 motorcycle is the first bike in the 150cc segment, which comes with a standard dual-channel ABS.

The dual-channel antilock braking system was added to improve safety of the third-generation Yamaha R15.

Yamaha has not made any other technical changes, and the R15 still comes with a 155cc single-cylinder SOHC engine, further enhanced with Yamaha’s Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) which is able to produce around 19hp at 10,000 rpm and 14.7Nm of maximum torque at 8,500rpm. All that power is transferred down to its rear wheel via a six-speed manual gearbox.

To ensure that the rideability is smooth, the Yamaha YZF-R15 is further elevated with an assist and slipper clutch which allows for easier roll-off from standstill and a more controlled stopping performance when going down through the gears for this 137kg sports bike.

Other features include:

Upside-down front forks
