Performance figures for Yamaha R15

According to Bike India magazine, here are the acceleration and top speed figures for the Yamaha R15

0-20km/h: 1.15s
0-40km/h: 2.90s
0-60km/h: 5.12s
0-80km/h: 8.56s
0-100km/h: 14.17s

Top Speed: 130.2km/h (speedo - 139km/h)
0-400m: 18.95s@113.23km/h


This means that the Yamaha R15 is just a tad slower than the Karizma (0-60 in 4.7s) and the Pulsar 220 (0-60km/h in 4.8s). But the difference doesnt increase by the time the R15 gets too 100km/h.
The Karizma reaches 100km/h in 14.05sec and the Pulsar 220 in 13odd secs. The R15 takes just 14.17s

It might not beat the Pulsar 220 and Karizma, but for a 150cc bike, these figures are mindblowing!

On the Top Speed stakes though, the R15 with the sixth gear beats both Karizma and Pulsar 220 with a better top speed of 130.2km/h (true), with the speedometer showing 139km/h. A run-in bike should be doing 140km/h on the speedo i guesss

Yamaha R15 : Engine seize and burn pics!!!`

OMG : We cant believe this.
Yesterday there was news of a Yamaha R15 getting seized up (Click) and today there is this pic on xbhp about a bike catching fire!

We are waiting for updates for what actually happened. Stay tuned for more

UPDATE : It seems the rider of the bike had kept a cleaning cloth somewhere near the engine of the bike. Come on - that is not the place to keep the cloth. Something or the other happened. It seems while filling fuel, it seeped out, flowed next to the fairing and got into the cloth. On the run, the engine heated up and the fuelled cloth caught fire. But I would also want a Yamaha official to testify the same here.

Yamaha FZ15 caught again

Thanks to Manoj from xbhp, here are few more pictures of the Yamaha FZ15 bike being tested around Delhi.

Note : the rider is not wearing any jackets or boots. Seems that the bike is his daily commute to the Yamaha factory and back!
