When I started going to track days, the R15 was the king of the pit lane. They were everywhere, and everyone who wanted to get serious about riding had one. Since I quickly moved on to instructing, I was often riding R15s as a coach. And those were brilliant days. Because it felt like it was impossible to make a mistake on the nippy little Yamaha. Mechanically as well as while you tried new things to see if you could find the next step for your skills. A colleague and I, a few years later also attended the California Superbike School with identical v2 R15s and had a three-day blast. We went impressively enough for our coach to tell us that had we been on R6s instead, he (on a CBR600RR) would have had a hard time keeping up to watch us. I'm sure Darren Sweetman was being polite but that's the beauty of the R15. It's like a warm hug of a sportsbike. What memories riding the motorcycle in this story brought back.
This is the strength of the Yamaha brand, and it's engineering. The thing we'd like to see a lot more of.
Oh and we've just started releasing detailed videos on the R15. Here's where you'll find them
Yamaha R15 FAQ

It's Sunday guy's 🍻👍 and r15 is just awesome 💯. When we will get the r3 or Mt03
From what we're hearing, won't be long
Damn... This video confused me more... I was set to buy duke 250 to horn my skills but always have wanted to buy sports bike. R15 looks good but never knew it was this good as described here. What do I do?
@@coolfriend693 just don't worry my friend buy Husqvarna svatpilian if your buying Duke 250. I mean if you want a bike that can look better and increase riders confidence + at less price 😁 I think just go and ride it first best of luck peace
Both good bikes! Just pick one... you can't go wrong
Listening to shumi's voice on a Sunday morning>>
♥️
and listening and appreciating my life long love... my 2010 R15 ❤❤
I just woke up, good morning, happy Sunday, or, whatever is remaining of it.
It's a vibe, an emotion.
Proud owner of 2011 R15 V2 here, it's been more than a decade and she still brings a smile on my face even after a short ride to office 😃
❤️
This is purely true.... R15 thrills, it really starts blood flow.....
I saw this bike on the college parking lot, that was 2008 - looked so small, so docile, and the first ride was just as expected, till I saw the first corner, and then I wanted to go on to the next corner, I was 21.. I was going to live forever, and this was it, this would go along with me to the next corner, but alas I could not afford it then. Today I am 35, I can afford this, but now I also know I may not live forever. But damn, this bike still makes me feel like I am 21, and my first heartbreak was just a few glances away 😀
Nailed it! That's exactly what it does!
Very well written. Same feelings bro 👍
@@sathyaki Part time writer full time content consumer - but on the internet - I am an expert (I am a rider with a skill level of 1.5 on a scale of 1-10) 😁
@@lalitkhopade6747 I just hope you did not catch the heartbreak part, otherwise though ❤
Oh boy! This write up got me back to MY heartbreak days. Uff.....things the heart can experience.....
This is it. This is the final push I needed. I'm getting myself one of these bad boys soon, and hope to make up for all those years of not having ridden a motorcycle.
Best of luck FC! Let us know how it goes!
i got one this week white color and its a beauty and the beast at the same time
@@morespeedmorepeace take it around a twisty you will automatically tilt your head the right way. any other bike you will do snake dance. lean one side head on other. it's a masterpiece of engineering. the best of it's class. never doubt anything from the stables which makes the mighty R1
Congratulations!
do it before it becomes too impractical for your age. 😅 like it did for me.
Not only the way this motorcycle handles and the chassis. The engine has so much potential which can do triple digit speeds and by this I mean keep up with the 400s on a weekend ride (yes been to leh with my 390 buddies on the v3) while returning 50+kmpl that's not only looks good but surpasses expectations of the average India guy asking "kitna deti hai?" They really need to come up with something like RT15 which is more like a touring spec version 🐥
Agreed! ❤️
The only Yamaha that still revs our heart.
❤️
Got an R15M as my first bike 12 days ago and I am so excited to learn stuff on it. This video has made me more confident 😊
Congratulations!
Hi, is this difficult to ride? Means will it create back pain because of the riding position? Used Honda Unicorn & Xblade only. Please advice :)
@@Ronsindia Agressive Ergonomics demands frequent breaks and stretching when you take this on long rides. Learn how to lean the right way without hurting your wrists and you can ride this bike limitlessly.
@@haaarrdik Thanks, will R15 or Honda CB350 RS will be good for riding, because already having a little back pain.
@@Ronsindia Please don't go for sports segment if you have back pain issue. Go for the Comfortable one with an upright sitting posture...
Back in 2013, during my college days, my buddy had a 1st generation r15, I loved riding it more than my classic 350, we used to go for trips ans the r15 would give 40+ mileage even after cruising at high speeds, I recommend getting an r15 to all those who want a beginner bike
Absolutely! ❤️
Bought the V3 abs with my very first salary back in 2019, It's been three years and my heart still skips a beat, when i take a corner or hit that VVA sweet spot of 6k rpm or more, Adventure bikes are surely luring people for what they offer these days, but man this one is a keeper for sure, i would just keep this for the rest of my life even if i get to include anyother.
Also shumi, karthikeya and the whole motorinc team, thanks for what you are doing.. These videos about life, motorcycles and your experiences are surely driving me and a lot of young motorcyclists to be responsible and is helping us to look forward in finding our better selves everyday.
At the end as you say every bike can take you wherever you want in its best capacity, however its all about how you aspire to reach there and what all you want to take back and carry along with you for the rest of your life makes the difference.
PS:Its my first comment on youtube ever since, felt like putting out what i feel about your work and your contribution to my wellbeing directly or indirectly.
I wish more people or channels respect everyone's time like you do and contribute something good to them instead of selling some random face wash or behave as if an average indian biker/motorcyclist is a dumb brainless idiot with free internet at his disposal to watch all that BS!! day in and day out.
I wish you a great health, tremendous success and many more kms on your motorcycles.
Rachh!!
Been about 6 months since i got this bike, my budget friendly dream machine. To this day i find myself seeing videos like these and just appreciating the bike. Low cc or not this bike ends up finding a spot in your heart.
Proud owner of a 2011 R15 version 1 in blue here. Have done solo rides of upto 700 kms a day on this beauty with luggage and with absolutely zero problems. Living in a hill-station for work for almost ten years, my favorite time of the week was Sunday mornings, when I would ride past the ghats for a simple breakfast. Still riding this beauty in Bangalore traffic where it weaves through traffic with such ease, although this is not where the bike truly belongs. It takes even the bad Bangalore roads in its stride, without any major fuss. I call my bike the 'Yamasutra'. ;-) I have started looking around for an upgrade, mostly among the 250-400cc class bikes, but nothing I have test-ridden so far came close to the satisfaction the R15 gives. The Yamaha R15 is the gold standard of 150cc motorcycles.
As regarding my next bike, my heart says Honda CBR 650 R. Brain says KTM RC 390 or TVS Apache RR 310. But here I am.. Waiting for Yamaha to show up with the R3 or R7..
Wow! You truly love your R15.
That's an interesting name you've given to your bike.
Word on the street is that those bikes may be launched in India.
the quality of video and the experience i have got watching this master piece is marvelous!
I own one. And I'm thankful to it, my v3 made me to enjoy what really biking is❤
❤️
it was the V2 back in 2013-14, when i was on my way back to home from school on my cycle and a V2 appeared out of nowhere all in its blue glory, leaving me in a complete awe. heck of a machine it was. love at first sight. dreamt of getting one for the next few years, but had no luck. then came in the RR310 in 2018, fell in love again 2nd time, now this time i'm gonna end up buying the beast soon. Need a motorinc styled review on the RR310 now, shumi. please have one.
I just love the sarcasm, the information, and everything from Shumi 💙
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🖖🏽
I’m taking delivery of an R15 soon! Been waiting for this video a long time!
Best of luck! ❤️
Pure content and no bs, that's what makes a subscriber come back and experience the shared emotion..BTW I have been a Yamaha fanboy for 2 decades now (Fazer 125 era) and without a doubt like Shumi mentioned you should own one to experience the sheer Japanese tech at its best.. It's been 13 years and my babies SZR, FZ 25 and R3 are still revving my heart 🤘
You've got quite the collection.
Amazing channel and quality content.
Back in college my roommate had one R15 V2.0, it was terrific, he also got the V4 now and it is commendable what Yamaha did it with. But I never thought about this bike in such a way, like how can a 150 cc bike be Legendary ... but with my open mind and this video, I can see why ... #cheers guys
Thanks SSD! Always good to hear from you!
your presentation is what make this bike what it is you do justice with all the bikes you review
Thank you!
Proud to own 2012 R15 V2 Red / White dual color sports bike. Its already a decade full of experience. Yet, Still refreshing to RIDE! Thanks fo Yamaha for this wonderful MACHINE❤
The production Quality and explanation of topics is unmatched.
Great automotive YT channel btw.
You deserve 10M subs atleast.❤️
Thanks Yatish!
Always been a fan of Yamaha. I've been riding r15 v3 for the last 5 years and boy it brings a smileon my face everyday! I`m in my early 30's now and sometimes I feel I'm too old to ride this bike but the child in me always knows what a sweet baby it is! No drama and a pure fun machine which is very forgiving and beautiful road manners.
Insane production quality❤❤
Thank you very much!
One special, special little motorcycle! I wish I hadn't sold mine and now I have a R15 shaped hole in my heart 💙
♥️
Thanks for this !!! ❤❤
❤️🖖🏽
My very 1st bike with which I started my motorcycling Journey and experience was the R15 V2 2013 edition.... It felt like I was on my own feet while riding...had to sell it on 2018, I miss you so much Brother... Love you my WB 24Z 4267 ❤
♥️
I bought a v2 9 years ago. Everyday I get on it and ride it , it surprises me with its abilities till date. It puts a smile everytime I rev it.
🤜🏽🤛🏽
Every time I see one on road . Really want to buy one 😍😍
♥️
Thank you for elevating the thoughts us indian motorists ✌️ i would love to see a discussion of you both with someone whom you look upto in the Indian motoring world. Would surely be an interesting experience for us
Thanks for suggestion, Shyam!
Worth the Wait!
Thank you very much!
No matter which bike I choose to buy next, my heart will always belong to this exquisite machine. It holds a special place in my heart, and nothing can replace the fond memories I have of riding it. Sadly, I find myself longing for the joy and exhilaration it brought me.
'You asked for it, we delivered it' policy. Keep up the good work!
❤️
I'm about to receive my very first motorcycle next week that stunning mini R1M. This moment feels like a dream come true, and I can't wait to embark on this thrilling new journey ❤
Best of luck @SM_-xg5rb! We wish you an awesome time with it. Ang congratulations!
Watching this video on repeat. Not sure what to comment..
Such lovely content. Quality stuff
Lots of things covered under 5 mins.
❤
Thanks Saurabh! ❤️
After listening 7-8th times,
Shumi said maximum score for a vall is 6 and R15 is has 18..
In 4 generations, Which ball did it missed🤔🤔
Owner of R15v4… It is indeed a marvellous machine on high ways. It crosses 130 without any struggle. More importantly the stability of the bike even though you crossed 140 is amazing. It is built for top speeds. The breaking ability of the R15 is top notch. If you are young and ready to push your budget a little, just go for it… Bcs, you can’t ride this bike when you are old. You can ride the naked bikes for the rest of your life.
♥️
I own a V2, it’s going to be 10 this October and man it still rides so well. I still haven’t found an upgrade. I’ve ridden the KTM RC’s but did not felt connected to the bike like the R15.
Wish there was a bigger displacement with the same looks and rideability
10 years! Awesome!
The first R15 that I rode was the og first generation 2011 a yellow bird! and oh boy that was it.
For a guy who wasn't interested in bikes, that bike literally changed my life and went on to ride and understand about every single generation and i have a particular affinity towards the skinny first generation.
Ride it hard, and its a beauty that's simpler, light ,nimble and agile, makes you become a better rider every time you ride it.
"revs your heart"

I can't wait to get one.
Yes. The first gen was outrageous-good! ❤️
I have a V4 racing blue and man o man that's really a gem of a bike ❤❤
❤️
R15 is a beautiful machine. The way it represents the sports bike category is unique. Thanks to MotorInc for covering the quintessential vibe of this beauty.
Thanks SSP!
The passion in this video is on a different level.
Thank you.
Epitome design of Yamaha .... dedicated to own young Indian hearts
Started my motorcycling with R15 V1 2009, a Wonderfull piece of Machine🤩
❤️
Have been a proud of r15 v2 for 7 years and currently riding the v3 for almost 3 years now. I wish i didnt sold my v2 either. Im sure i will buy the next version of the r15 as well when it comes out.
❤️
Seriously need an MT15 review from you. I am pushing 47 and that bike just has something that calls out to me.
We'll try and make one soon.
A living Legend!
I got mine yesterday! I'm so happy. It's my first ever bike. 🥰
I love watching videos on bikes specially reviews. But finally I have the type of reviews that I always wanted to watch. This review is HYPNOTIC. I am not a big fan of the R15 just because of the ergonomics but now I want one 🙃
Go take a test ride Pritom!
@@motorinc I feel irritated when I think about test rides, all thanks to TVS. In 2019 When I was in Kolkata, I visited two biggest showrooms closest to my location for test ride of Apache 200. Both denied me. Now in 2023 I am in the eastern most part of Assam and using the TVS website's Book a Test Ride option, I booked a test ride twice, but zero action. If TVS is least bothered about a prospective customer then imagine their after sales service.
Oh god, that’s terrible!
My v3s is my first bike and it feels like it was always ment to be like a soulmate..i love this bike
Ah! A match made in heaven.
10/10 in terms of design, user trust, usability, easy to maintain.
Would love to see your take on MT 15 as well and whether it checks the boxes for that "one bike garage" compared to other 2lac price bracket machines 🙌
Can do!
@@motorinc please do! :)
@@motorinc hoping that it comes out soon 🙂
Yamaha R15 v4 is the sweet spot for me, I want a bike to daily commute but i want an aggresive bike when I want to go full on speed mode, plus the VVA tech help a small 155cc engine pumpup more power than 250cc, the main reason it is a sweet spot is i am not gonna push it all the time, and hence when I want I have that raw power available and when I dont want I just get a good mileage, I am gonna buy R15 v4 next year. Thanks for this great explaination, awesome video.
Totally agree. Go for it! 👍
It’s a dream to get this bike since a long time but somehow I’m not able to buy one. I love this bike very much and probably I’ll buy one soon
Just a matter of time! Best of luck!
@@motorinc that’s true and thanks so much. Due to some unavoidable situations I had to skip buying the R15 but surely I’m going to buy it soon
3:20 I got genuine goosebumps as a 23 year old R15 owner after hearing this🥹♥️
It accompanied me to my college,gym and now to the office while still looking fresh as brand new🥹♥️💙
I still remember, for a 5,3 tall one like me sitting in it will itself give a sense of cocooned
I have a 390 Duke but whenever i want to go to my local gokart track
Its always my friend's R15 V3
Its so good
The posture makes you feel like a racer
This R15 will make me buy a RC 390 soon
Glad you're out there having a whale of a time!
Shumi should seriously start long running podcasts. His voice is damn soothing!
Thank you!
We've made an entire series of podcasts. Here's the link to it.

The only regret I had when I had my R15 V3 was not taking it on track. Two reasons why brought this bike was for track use and touring. Although I completed the touring part the track side remains empty. But people get shocked when I say I felt most comfortable while touring on my R15 V3. The handling, the engine mamia! It's crazy how a 155CC bike can easily cruise at 100-110kmph all day without any or less to minimum vibrations and can maintain that speed. It's the reason why I always believe that the quote- "there's no replacement for displacement" is not always true. Glad I had my time with my dream machine which was my 10 years dream. Now being in Canada I might start biking soon but sure I will go for either R3 or RC390.
Thanks Divyesh! All the best for the R3/RC390! Do take it to a track there!
How is the biking culture in Canada?
Not being able to ride bikes for 6 months a year is making me sceptical of moving.
@@AnandA2155I have just moved in here actually for studies. I can't say much but here's what I have noticed. People over here treat biking as a luxury and not a way of transport. Most of them will be four wheelers over here. Can't say that it's a fact that in Canada you only do biking for 6 months. Need to check about it.
I own 1st gen R15S!! & I absolutely agree with Shumi that this bike can do it all. I did my first ever long ride Pune ↔️ Bangalore, my oh my was I surprised!! This little 149cc 14.8 hp engine could do the triple digit speeds all day long(with luggage)!😍🫶 I just love it 💚🖤💙🧿
Absolutely! They're insanely good! Glad you're enjoying your riding Nachiket!
My go-to channel for anything seriously, genuinely and very interestingly informative about two-wheelers. My personal ASMR channel ❤🙏
ASMR stands for Alltime Shumi Motorcycle Reviews
@@motorinc Of course 😄 👍🏻😊
Never tried but after listening to shumi, I want to try it
💯❤️
Would love some talks on helmets and safety gears from you ❤
Coming soon!
I have 2019 bs4 and damn the exhaust note and the Handeling of high speed with a milage of 45+kmpl even when I am at 130-140kmph it's lovely ❤
♥️
I would love for you to have an artist takeaway for the Aerox 155, as it's having the legend in its heart.
Coming soon!
"Warm hug of a sports bike" : Bullseye
Exceptional video, the nostalgia and warmth was so strong that it felt like an obituary. Then I realised that Yamaha is still around and the warmth faded away.
Thank you for watching!
Shumi's voice is Therapy 😎
😇
Shumi, would be great and much appreciated to see a review on the rr310, going to buy it soon, have already made the decision but it will be even clearer once u shed some light on it the motorinc style.
Can do!
"A maximum you can hit with a ball is 6 and yamaha R15 is 18"
that start is simply genius
I would say this is the best bike produced purely for India and then went overseas.
I would rate this above RX100 and RD350. This is a legend because even for a normal rider this is an easy bike to ride at triple speeds and man it wont sweat a bit in triple digits. What a machine.
It's all that!
Shumi's narration is spot on. He is our Jeremy Clarkson❤
❤️
Hi Shumi... Can you please provide some insights on the new 2023 xpulse and xpulse pro? Interestingly, none of the major reviewers have done this.. I would love to see you both and Karthik whistling those machines and providing a review which I feel is the need of the hour! Thank you..
We're waiting for the test bikes!
Please make videos on Yamaha - MT-15 , we have been waiting for really long time
Hi Shumi! Hope you're doing good. Like the way you explain in these videos. Can you please do the same for Suzuki Gixxer 250 especially SF 250? Because I feel like it's so underrated.
Can do!
Every man deserves a good bike that makes him smile.
Requesting one such video/FAQ from Motoinc on RC200 or 390 preferably! The current gen..
Coming soon!
Proud Owner of currently Yamaha R15V3 and Yamaha Fazer V2 both are fuel injection bikes…
I myself motorcycle mechanic from pune. These bikes from Yamaha are pure gold if you know your use , what I mean is eventually after few time there will be issues with every machine but the refined engine Yamaha makes is beyond what we could achieve (I felt)… I mean such pocket friendly and lovable bikes never felt with other bikes and this might sound biased but it’s real.
I owned Tvs Apache , Bajaj Ns but first bike was Fz16 so eventually after that bike got to know what Japanese are capable of ❤
Thanks😊
Well said! Yamaha bikes and their engines have managed to stand the test of time and they do so remarkably well.
I own a duke 390 and my brother has an R15. Ofcourse it feels underpowered but surprisingly so it feels like the perfect bike for small roads especially the hills. R15 is a god bike in its segment. The build quality is just superb. Just an amazing first bike. The handling, engine mapping (not kidding it's perfect), weight, those kybs and many more add to the complete experience of a sports bike.
Yes, exactly
Love your videos❤
Please make a video for mt-15😊
Thank you! We will try and make a video on the MT-15 soon.
Yamaha can possibly make this their next R15 TVC .. Hand’s down Shumi 🫶 🙇♂️
They can’t. Yamaha got called out more than the R15 got venerated 😂
@@motorinc true that! 😂😂
I had the V2, my first ever geared motorcycle. Great engine and gearbox, great handling, but the riding ergonomics were too aggressive for me. Currently own a H'ness CB350 and I love it.
Thanks for sharing!
Shumi.... Great great storytelling.... I am a fan... I just have a small feedback, if you dont mind... The volume of your voice seems to come from far away and not from the mic and that's a bit dull... Your voice hits hard and makes your followers happy to listen to you... Could you please use a nearby microphone or can you pls edit it to be clearer among the background music.... Pls understand this is coming from a sincere place... Not a criticism... Always love the way you present, it's inspirational.. ✌️ peace
Thanks for the feedback! Let's see what we can do about this
Thank you, Naveen! Feedback noted.
R15S is also worth checking, about 20-25k cheaper than the base V4 but loses out on inverted forks (makes up with 41mm fork diameter compared to 38mm?) and track modes and some bluetooth features. It does have the comfier seat and a sleek matte black paint job. With the saved 20k perhaps PPF or an aftermarket quickshifter?
Hi Sumi, I am loving your videos man, I have a question, my old Yamaha fazer v1 100/80 r17, 140/60 r17 tyres, i had very bad experience with my previous tyres (michelin pilot sporty) can you please suggest me good wet and dry grip and less puncture tyres. please let me know haven't got any trusted info anywhere.
I was not sure about riding a sports bike when i decided to sell my fzs v3 and buy a new bike but always wanted to ride one and only couple of kms test riding r15 v4 i was sure of buying r15m and I'm glad that i bought this bike last year. I have done 13000 kms on it rode for more than 600 kms on one day manali to Chandigarh and back still never felt anything that i can't manage on this brilliant machine. Would keep it with for years. And the best part is exceptional mileage this bike gives I'm getting much higher mileage that's too riding much faster on this what i used to get from my fz.
I became a Yamaha fan after riding Mt-15 the refinement it offers is next level. The sad part.. they didn't add anything to their adv segment in India. Which is why I am considering 390adv as a choice will love a review from your side.. a motorinc video.. powerdrift one turned old.
That Yamaha engine is a gem.
The KTM 390 ADV video can be done!
Dude sumi got upgraded. Damnnn 👍
Thanks!
Would love to see your review of the RE twins!
Watch this space!
got quite emotional.i have 09 r15. yes that blue baby r1. the bike has a soul. 1.09 lac kms and today my friends are meeting up for a kanyakumari trip. my baby is going for it 7th time. yes I proudly ride the legend as he said. the OG.
Wow! More miles and smiles to you!
I owned MT15 for almost 3+ years
Best bike for city use and if you want to take it for long trips then best cruising speed would be 70-90km/hr
What i felt as cons were:
1. Suspension was hard and the seat cushion too. 50kms of riding and you can feel the back burn.
2. When crossing speeds of 90km/h felt like the engine was under stress and need to put more effort though VVA was On.
3. Sound could have been better ( atleast like in Apache)
4. ABS lacks the bite and sometimes it can make you feel less confident durin braking.
5. Pillion seat could have been a little more bigger/ rider seat could have been made a little smaller.
Other than that it was one of the best bikes i owned. The Looks are great and if you're good at modifying then you can take this bike to another level, great mileage in city and even in highway (if cruising speed is betweeen 60-80),Good engine refinement (but i think Honda engines are more refined than Yamahas), better seating position.
Owning a v2 for abt 7 years. Done almost 50K. Gave no troubles at all. Revving smoothly as ever. Happy from day one. Proud to have owned one. Indeed, yes, Yamaha!!!
Great to hear!
your videos are hypnotising me to buy that motorbike. last time it was duke 390 and now r15 v4. haha im joking but loved your videos
Glad you enjoy MotorInc! ❤️
Nice you yt have subtitles
Yamaha has introduced 4 legendary products in India:
1. R15
2. FZ series
3. MT15
4. RX series
Our list is
1. RD350
2. RX100
3. R15
@@motorinc rx100 unforgettable
Love you work and truly a legendary motorcycle!
I wish Yamaha added a 250 cc single to this so that it could slot between the R15 and the upcoming expensive R3. The R15 is great but there are so many 200cc and 250cc in the market that are cheaper and more practical.
Then it would properly be a quarter-R1! So cool!
@@motorinc I found out that in Indonesia and maybe the Phillipines, they have the 250cc versions of these bikes, namely R-25 and MT-25, except they have twin cylinder engines. Why do you think we are getting the 03's instead of the 25's? I think our people would appreciate the 250cc versions more.
The SEAsea 250s are because of a tax regulation that makes them cheaper in those markets. Everywhere else, the 321s are what Yamaha sells
it's been sometime since Yamaha has dropped a nuke in the market. they are masters at it. just keep patience.
@@motorinc Thankfully the Duke 250 exists!

I'm always a fan of YZF R15.. my love story with this beauty started in 2013 when my uncle tempted me he'll buy me an r15 if I get good marks in my 10th std.. I don't get a chance to own an r15 untill now... But I'm sure I can buy every r15 released untill now in used market, get the service done and keep them in my garge... I'll buy every r15 untill the lineup ends or untill i die😂❤

Proud owner of R15v4 racing blue color, and thanks to motorinc for helping me making my decision and finnally i bought it on 12th December 2023.
When Shumi says such good thing
Then imagine how good it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
💯
Thanks for international level production and editing. If possible make dedicated video on 2023 KTM Duke 250.
Suggestion require: I am using FZS 25 2020. Will it be a good decision to go with Duke 250.
Thank you for the appreciation. We could make a video on the KTM 250 Duke.
The FZ25 is a markedly different bike to the Duke 250. Ultimately, the choice should come down to which one appeals to you at the end of a thorough test ride.
