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
