Yamaha has increased the price of the R15 V4 across all variants, with the ex-showroom range now starting at Rs 1.75 lakh for the Metallic Black, Matte Pearl White (without quickshifter), Racing Blue (without quickshifter), Intensity White (without quickshifter), Dark Knight, and Metallic Red variants. The Matte Pearl White, Racing Blue, and Intensity White with quickshifter, along with the MotoGP Edition, are priced at Rs 1.79 lakh or Rs 1.76 lakh.

The bike retains the 155cc liquid-cooled VVA engine producing 18.14 hp and 14.2 Nm, with a claimed top speed of 140 km/h and mileage of 45 kmpl. Features include dual-channel ABS, traction control, Track and Street modes, a bi-functional LED headlamp, and Bluetooth Y-Connect on select variants. The R15 V4 weighs 141 kg and has an 815 mm seat height.
The price hike pushes the top R15 V4 variant closer to the bracket of larger-capacity motorcycles, making the purchase decision hinge on features like the variable valve actuation, traction control, and quick shifter rather than outright engine size. Buyers should verify which variants include Y-Connect and the quickshifter, and obtain the on-road price before committing. The tall 815 mm seat may be a limiting factor for shorter riders.
