Yamaha's resurgence as a brand can be reckoned with a motorcycle that has been around for about 14 years now. The YZF-R15 was a game-changer in the biking fraternity, ever since it made its entry into the market. It redefined the benchmarks for agility, performance, handling, and technology. It was a hugely impressive bike - I should know as I bought one and enjoyed it for a good eight years. Over time, the R15 has undergone a couple of updates, the most recent one being version 4.0, which added components like USDs, a quick shifter, and traction control. The company has been progressively updating the 150cc supersport through the years, thus keeping it desirable, as it continues to be one the best motorcycles in its segment to hone one's skills as a motorcyclist.
