Man it's late 2021 and i bought this bike in 2015 after watching this amazing video ... Riding since its year now i love this bike so much never gonna sell this bike for v3 though this is pure beauty ... I respect r15 v1 riding guys you are amazing because if you i got to have this bike ... @powerdrift you guys are amazing especially sagar sheldekar ... Most loved video of mine forever 😍 🙏
Using r15 v2 for last 3 years and I have to say that the points reviewer has made about it are totally correct. Seating and riding position is uncomfortable only if constant braking and traffic maneuvering is done. Else on Highway you won't feel any discomfort. Can get upto 130 in no time and easy effort. Ride position and feedback is exceptional. And after all of hard and easy riding I'm getting upto 50 kmpl mileage. So with the fuel requirement of a scooter you can have a bike that can outrun many cars on Highways and also look cool. Only problem I have is with the sub par service of Yamaha
+Utsav Atre sry if I am mistaken. I mentioned 50 kmpl to be the maximum mileage I've got at crusing around 90-110 kph. general traffic conditions u can expect about 35 while the average overall will be around 40-45
Impressive! Really extensive reviews, great editing, good opinions, i think this is even better than some other reviews of Magazines i know. You are doing it great, keep up guys. Greetings from Colombia!
Hi sagar, am a proud owner of R15 v 2.0, I bought it back in 2015 , this is the video which made to fell love in with the bike, the way you explained and the color of bike which u reviewed blown me away, I din had any second choice,I directly chosen this as my bike , thanks for every thing
the video editing ,execution and in-depth reiew is incredible.......the best possible review i've ever seen ......to tell u the truth,the cbr150r handles better and is faster than the r15
Thank you for this video as it blows me away with the nostalgia as a kid when i once watched this video unhealthy number of times dreaming to get an R15 V2. And it's been 8 years and my BLUE(R15 v2) going as smooth as butter❤️
Yamaha R15 are considered a Supersport bike. So don't ever get the pillion problems issue on this. Supersport bikes doesn't have to carry passenger. Supersport bike or semi-Supersport should always have an aggressive riding position to add to the overall looks of the bike. If you want a sport bike designed for comfortable long street riding then get a Honda CBR 150R 2015 version.. But the CBR 150RR 2016 is more like the R15 now in terms of ergonomic.
Love the quality of production and the presentation of your videos. I'd love it if you'll could review the Karizma as well. I know it's an old model and all.. but it's so cheap to buy (compared to the Yam R15 and the Honda 150) and the fact that it's almost 250cc with similar power specs.. I wonder how it stacks up... I had a Karizma for about 4 months and now I've moved to London.. I would like to see how the old babe compares with the new bikes on the block.. :)
Great to read that, Trust me rigth now I'm wondering which one is it... Probably Pulsar or TVS. Keep up guys, you're doing a great job, anything you come up with i'm sure will be awesome and with cool soundtracks ;) I hope you can perform a Pulsar 200NS test, there is a lot of people expecting this bike to come hopefully 2013 in our country.
hello sir, i have already drove r15 v1 a lot of times but i have never touched v2, and now am planning to buy r15 so my question to you is that as you have stated in this video that v2 has gained its weight by 5 kgs so will that be a problem for me to control the bike inside city? which one do prefer for me to buy ,?
you guys did not mention if its good enough to trade your version 1, for the 2 and personally I don't think it is this was one of the most important points
Really nice review Team PTR....you've got good potential to grow as bike reviewers! It would be great if you gave some tips on modifications on R15...I own a Red r15 version 2.0 and just couldnot be more happier!
review keeps up with the expectations that i have from ptr, have liked the use of background sountracks for all ur videos.. into the fire,strobe in this and especially omen by prodigy in the first video, really adds "feel" and "value' to the entire video package.
Ah! Thanks a lot!!!! The team works extremely hard, and comments like these make our day!!! Do remember to share the video on Facebook \Google plus with your friends!
Great video PTR i must say that your video was better explained the OVERDRIVE and some what autocar. By the way is there any chance of yamaha launching the YZF R125 because i think that is a really great bike and can easily make honda to discontinue stunner. Please PTR ask yamaha men to launch the awesome R125 Please i begg you
I'm thinking of buying YZF R15 as a replacement for my old-man CBR 150R (2005) and I found this video quite good! it points out what are the plus and minus of this new bike. *even thought I don't entirely understand them, hahah. keep up!
Severely outclassed by the 200's available in India now within the same price range, with it's near impractical seating, it is now a track bike, not fit for daily use.
This review is very well done and give a very good insights about the bike. I must say all your review videos are class. I watch Overdrive, AutocarIndia I like both of them. But your reviews can compete with US review sites or I must say does much better job. Keep up the good work guys. I am subscribing to your channel. Looking forward to see more and more reviews. Thumbs up!!!
Aand now the better flickability & more comfortable riding posture of R15 V1.0 is back along with the other technological advancement like fatter tyre & better midrange of the V2.0 in the name of R15 S :)
Sergeant Sagar you said that newbies will find it difficult to ride it as there is more pressure on your palms. I m going 2 get my first 2 wheeler and i m planing 2 get a R15 v 2.0 so shud i buy it or not. please reply.
Do buy it I bought this bike recently and it was my first bike. I love everything about it except the pillion seat ( ur butt starts to ache if u sit for a longer time) Talking abt the pain in the the palms it only happens during city rides when u constantly have to use the clutch but on highways i have had no problems at all.
thnx bro but i bought the pulsar 200 ns even that is a prty gud bike.its actually very very fast...so those who are confused in between r15 and pulsar 200ns go for the ns...
Ns is really a value for money bike My friend has it from the past couple of years , he has some complains abt it like the vibrations when u touch 100 km speed. And he also says that pulsar lasts well for arnd 5 years are so he says tht its not so durable , if u want a bike to use it fr 5 or 6 years pulsar is the one but if u want the bike to last for say 9 or 10 years yamaha is the one fr u , everything from the build quality to the engine is top notchh One more thing that r15 attracts a lot of eyeballs , u get really an awesome feeling when u r riding an r15 and everyone stares at u and passes comments saying bhai dekh r15 I always had a dream from my childhood. To have a sports bike And all thanks to my father for fulfilling it
hello everyone... I am going to buy the thundering green colour r15 v2 next month.. I am still 17, but next month I will turn 18.. my ques is should I buy r15 as it will be my first bike....???
When is the yzf r15 version 3.0 (CODENAME BG7) going to be launched ? what could be the possible changes / modifications ? can't wait any longer . Or else will have to buy the r15 2.0 .
Hi Brother. I just owned R15S today. When I make a bend, my leg touches the handle which is way too difficult as a tall rider (5.11). I have to open my leg wide to make a turn? Any suggestions please?? Thanks in advance
its not good for 6 feet tall rider ... i have r15v2 sunset red nd my hieght is 6.1...nd when ever i ride in highway my palms suffer from heck of a pain ...rather than that this bike is awesome :)
I learned on a 150cc bike...........it doesn't matter, cause the first time u ride a bike u can't probably make differences in power and u become habituated after 2 or 3 days..........only reason to go for 125cc is fuel efficiency, otherwise if u want power, go for 250 cc
its your call..i will ne time go for yahama bikes bcz 7yr old yamaha bike is still gets compare with 2016 models or upcoming models..i own r15v1 got no problem..just love starter of my bike in winter season i dint use my bike for 1 month n that starter is owesome
Please help? I need a bike bike for daily travelling from home to college. Its should have a descent milage, low maintenance & good sportbike looks. which is best? R15/ GIXXER SF/ CBR150/ DUKE200?
The bike is more forward biased so long tours with the aggressive riding position would take some getting used to. For longer rides the CBR250R has more comfortable ergos
You guys have amazing skillz i'll give you that... but the one thing that's missing is the catchy name. PTR "Power to the Rider" isn't really that catchy and it really doesn't reflect the amazing skills you guys have in this dept. You know just somthing like PoweRider or just replace the T with 2 like P2R or somthing if you catch my drift ;) Trust me, it will do you guys good cause I see you guys have a good future in this.. Ride hard m8s!
Namaste from India! Thank you for your kind words! Something tells us that you would love the next we would be doing ;) Hint: Its another Indian bike that is sold in Colombia ;)
how can you improve on something that is already so good. can't say a single thing against version 1 when it comes to feedback it offers from tyres, breakes, chassis etc.
Ninja is V-twin and R15 is Single cylinder... many prefer Ninja over R15 anytime, if they need true power out of their machine... R15 stands in its class...
Amol Chipre cbr 300 is a beast..im looking to get it as well. But with higher cc comes lower mileage so if you are not bothered by low mileage figures then definitely go for it over other bikes..another suggestion would be the ktm duke 390 or the rc 390
Man it's late 2021 and i bought this bike in 2015 after watching this amazing video ... Riding since its year now i love this bike so much never gonna sell this bike for v3 though this is pure beauty ... I respect r15 v1 riding guys you are amazing because if you i got to have this bike ... @powerdrift you guys are amazing especially sagar sheldekar ... Most loved video of mine forever 😍 🙏

50 kmpl no chance at all..
50 kmpl no chance at all..
+Paul James 50 kmpl? You gotta be high bro. And it's a shit bike with shit after service and it age very fast!
+Utsav Atre sry if I am mistaken. I mentioned 50 kmpl to be the maximum mileage I've got at crusing around 90-110 kph. general traffic conditions u can expect about 35 while the average overall will be around 40-45
its 50-55kmpl for me, cruising at 75-80 kmph.

Rip roger. You are missed everytime I turn on a powerdrift video 🙏❤️
Even the real bike manufacturers cant make such good videos like yours. Best in class editing and cinematography
Love the quality of production and the presentation of your videos.
I'd love it if you'll could review the Karizma as well. I know it's an old model and all.. but it's so cheap to buy (compared to the Yam R15 and the Honda 150) and the fact that it's almost 250cc with similar power specs.. I wonder how it stacks up... I had a Karizma for about 4 months and now I've moved to London.. I would like to see how the old babe compares with the new bikes on the block.. :)
Great to read that, Trust me rigth now I'm wondering which one is it... Probably Pulsar or TVS.

I hope you can perform a Pulsar 200NS test, there is a lot of people expecting this bike to come hopefully 2013 in our country.
hello sir,
i have already drove r15 v1 a lot of times but i have never touched v2, and now am planning to buy r15 so my question to you is that as you have stated in this video that v2 has gained its weight by 5 kgs so will that be a problem for me to control the bike inside city? which one do prefer for me to buy ,?

you guys did not mention if its good enough to trade your version 1, for the 2
and personally I don't think it is
this was one of the most important points
Really nice review Team PTR....you've got good potential to grow as bike reviewers! It would be great if you gave some tips on modifications on R15...I own a Red r15 version 2.0 and just couldnot be more happier!
keep the background music a little low, it's tough to hear what he's gotta say .. other than that, great video.
What are the best racing tyres for r15 v2 and what size of tyre(both rear and front)??
review keeps up with the expectations that i have from ptr, have liked the use of background sountracks for all ur videos.. into the fire,strobe in this and especially omen by prodigy in the first video, really adds "feel" and "value' to the entire video package.
Plz say what is the road price difference between r15s and v2 gonnd buy

Please PTR ask yamaha men to launch the awesome R125 Please i begg you
The main problem of yamaha r15 v2.0 is the pillion seat.And the bike has a good response to the throttle.

I'm thinking of buying YZF R15 as a replacement for my old-man CBR 150R (2005)

watching this in 2018 i love r15 v2
Bro which is better r15 v2 or ns 200 abs which is worth for money ?
Still Watching this in 2020?, this is still a good little weapon if you dont use highways
Hi Brother. I just owned R15S today. When I make a bend, my leg touches the handle which is way too difficult as a tall rider (5.11). I have to open my leg wide to make a turn? Any suggestions please?? Thanks in advance
is it suites for 6 feet tall riders.. and long rides in highways??
quite easily
its not good for 6 feet tall rider ... i have r15v2 sunset red nd my hieght is 6.1...nd when ever i ride in highway my palms suffer from heck of a pain ...rather than that this bike is awesome :)
a very good review,,al in all,,,the best review ive so far regardin any indian bike,,,what music is in the background????
I learned on a 150cc bike...........it doesn't matter, cause the first time u ride a bike u can't probably make differences in power and u become habituated after 2 or 3 days..........only reason to go for 125cc is fuel efficiency, otherwise if u want power, go for 250 cc
WHICH ONE IS MORE VALUE FOR MONEY R15 OR RC 200?
its your call..i will ne time go for yahama bikes bcz 7yr old yamaha bike is still gets compare with 2016 models or upcoming models..i own r15v1 got no problem..just love starter of my bike in winter season i dint use my bike for 1 month n that starter is owesome
r15
Please help? I need a bike bike for daily travelling from home to college. Its should have a descent milage, low maintenance & good sportbike looks. which is best? R15/ GIXXER SF/ CBR150/ DUKE200?
go for r15s
Ansh Bishnoi r15s
Watch on 3 may 2018 bcoz r15v2 is legend
Haha the attitude on the old r15 owners face is quite stupendous haha!
The bike is more forward biased so long tours with the aggressive riding position would take some getting used to. For longer rides the CBR250R has more comfortable ergos
Hello sir im waiting for ur review about the new r15 v3 pls make it soon coz im waiting
You guys have amazing skillz i'll give you that... but the one thing that's missing is the catchy name. PTR "Power to the Rider" isn't really that catchy and it really doesn't reflect the amazing skills you guys have in this dept. You know just somthing like PoweRider or just replace the T with 2 like P2R or somthing if you catch my drift ;) Trust me, it will do you guys good cause I see you guys have a good future in this.. Ride hard m8s!
awesome review... keep up the good work....!!
Watching it in 2019, One of the luckiest persons to own R15 V2 🏍🏍
Man I really love ur videos..
Plz give a comparison btw the duke n the r15
sir,is frame slider available for r15?
is this available without rear fender ?
Namaste from India!
Thank you for your kind words! Something tells us that you would love the next we would be doing ;)
Hint: Its another Indian bike that is sold in Colombia ;)
what if the fairing gets damaged? and is there any way to prevent the damage or reduce it?
how can you improve on something that is already so good. can't say a single thing against version 1 when it comes to feedback it offers from tyres, breakes, chassis etc.
Ninja is V-twin and R15 is Single cylinder...
many prefer Ninja over R15 anytime, if they need true power out of their machine...
R15 stands in its class...
nice review man.. thumbs up
What is the expected date or time to launch R15v3???
What you say about Honda CBR 250 Vs Yamaha R15, which one is best out of them ??? Please guide me ...
Depends..if you have the additional cash u might want to take the cbr 250r but r15 has more bang for your buck.
JAVA rodeo ok didn't matter the cash but now what you say about the CBR 300 .....
Amol Chipre cbr 300 is a beast..im looking to get it as well. But with higher cc comes lower mileage so if you are not bothered by low mileage figures then definitely go for it over other bikes..another suggestion would be the ktm duke 390 or the rc 390
Ok thanks
i heard that tail of r15 v2 could brake . is that true?
