The Yamaha R15 V5 2025 has officially arrived, redefining the benchmark for performance motorcycles in the 150cc segment. Known for its sporty design, razor-sharp handling, and track-inspired performance, the R15 series has been a favorite among young riders.
The fifth-generation model builds upon this legacy, offering new features, upgraded technology, and a more aggressive look that brings it closer to Yamaha’s larger supersport models.
Design and Styling
Yamaha has given the R15 V5 2025 a refreshed and aerodynamic design inspired by the Yamaha R7 and R1. The new LED headlamps, sculpted fuel tank, and sleek tail section enhance its aggressive appearance.
The riding position remains sporty yet slightly more comfortable for daily use, with optimized clip-on handlebars and rear-set footpegs. The use of premium materials and updated graphics gives the motorcycle a striking presence on the road and the racetrack alike.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the Yamaha R15 V5 2025 continues to feature a 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology. This engine produces around 19.5 PS of power and 14.2 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch for smooth gear shifts.
