- Yamaha have introduced the YZF-R15 Version 3 to Australia, boasting a host of updates and improvements to this small capacity entry level supersport machine, that push it into a much more formidable category, punching well above it's weight - and capacity.
A heavily revised, larger capacity engine with an increase to 155cc now also features Variable Valve Actuation, allowing for a broader spread of power and torque, as well as a stronger top end, and is joined by a slipper clutch, new exhaust and uprated cooling system and larger airbox.
Brakes have been upgraded too with a Bybre front caliper added to the larger 282 mm rotor, while larger but still non-adjustable forks are also featured, which combined with an incredibly light weight of just 138 kg offer exceptional performance.
A shorter wheelbase and 10 mm less trail, alongside wider MRF tyres and new wheels give sharp, accurate handling, well deserving of the supersport moniker, and the new R15 very much looks the business, thanks to updated styling which would no doubt leave many people wondering if this is an R3 at a glance.
That extends to a taller seat height, with the R15 V3.0 feeling like a full size bike, but still narrow between the legs for a relatively easy reach to the ground. Clip-on style bars ensure a sporty edge, with clean fairings and nice details like the tank panels and tail.
For $4,799 ride-away the 2020 Yamaha YZF-R15 V3 offers exceptional value, and I'd say competes with the likes of the GSX250R on performance, trading off some low end torque for a stronger top end, while delivering significantly more performance than a fun bike like the Grom.
You won't get the same level of torque as the larger 300-400 cc motorcycles, but as a beginner bike capable of hitting 140 km/h the R15 Version 3 offers unbeatable value for those who want to reduce on road and running costs, while still owning and riding a stylish, fun machine. Plus fuel economy is crazily good!

Wah super look v3
this is the best ride for people who can't afford bigger cc bikes, I very much like it.
Absolutely, I honestly think it's a heap better than all the 250cc fours people raved about back when I first started riding too, plus you can jump on something new and not worry about reliability, whether it's been crashed before, etc etc.
Wow,. My dream bike😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏
A good bike..
In indonesia we had usd shock version, handling quite good event without abs.
Thank you very much Yamaha Thanks Australia My favorite bike but Bangladesh is very expensive so it is not possible Thanks again Yamaha and Australia
It started within India where it comes without usd fork and i guest these bike are exported from India without usd fork and whoever buy these bike when it launched better wait for it and you will get with abs equipped after 6/7 months.The bike is superb but it comes more stable with abs when you love racing.
Hi Kris, well reviewed. Just a little surprised it doesn’t come with ABS at least for beginners?😮 I know it’s cheap, but it’s not a Hyundai cheerful. Looking forward to your ride review. Always reviewing bikes professionally 🥇👍🇦🇺
I was a little surprised by that, but if ABS adds $500 to the bike price (which often seems to be the figure) that's a hefty amount on such an inexpensive machine. But I also wouldn't be surprised to see the bike eventually get ABS, as even though the brake system seems quite forgiving, it will help new riders who panic and react by grabbing a handful of brakes.
A great review!
Hi Kris, ETA on the full review?
Just working on it now, probably Saturday, or Monday at the latest.
Moto Journo Kris I look forward to it like all of your reviews. Thank you. 👍😎
hi there, will R15 V4m arrive in Aus soon?
This bike will get ABS soon
Cause in India to, they released it without ABS everyone one was quite disappointed because of such a great bike with very good performance is lacking safety features like ABS but soon we all had a good news that the Yamaha
is going to release ABS model in India. Love this bike its an awesome one 😍😍
Dude the dual channel abs of R15 v3 is already in india since last year or so. I have the dual channel abs one.
Bro i brought this v3 last year with dual ABS . Now my bike become 1 yr old.
@@swastik_dash yeah bro it is having dual channel ABS right now , but i said that when it is released for the first time in India they released it without ABS.
@@ghostriderrz7556 oops! My bad!
We also get a r15m in india
It's R One Five. Not R Fifteen.
you knew they made a wrong move from making the forks standard rather than inverted forks
Silent Shift it’s just a pure cost saving measure. Let’s be honest here that 99.9% of riders wouldn’t know about the potential benefits of reduced in sprung weight. At least not in this category.
@@marcusgeorge1825 Exactly.
