2) Is It Manageble To Ride This In Tight Traffic ?

3) About Mileage: If The Bike Is Kept Under Speed Of 60-65 kmph Does Return Mileage Of 45 kmpl ?

The Above Questions For Me Purchasing R15,as i already said i am gonna buy RTR 160 FI Target ? In What Bike Section Am Also Considering To Buy R15,Like To Get Before My Birthday May 23

Ace_Hunter: your questions are irrelevant to your need of buying a bike, though I should mention that your questions are easy to answer hence the heap of replies..

R15’s are being sold like cakes to a mass population starving for attention. Atleast 90% of the buyers use it to brag, some have attained 148 and even some 200, you seem to be not in that category; you never asked about tyre .. yet!

R15 is ideal for you if:- #sorted with descending priority

If
1) You would like to one day take it on Track or maybe you are already.
Track bike features: soft/med tyres, linear powerband, fully faired, revvy engine setup, rear spongy disk, 6 speed gearbox, sporty riding, good feedback from shocks.
Commuters feature : Decent mileage.
2) You are a revvy rider, and like the pleasure of high RPM shifts and launch.
- launch at 6k above, else you are slower than a Dio
- Shift at 10400 RPM, else you are slower than a P180/200
3) You love your girl friend and want her to be proud of being with you.
- But she will be bored in 2 days from its sluggish acceleration on doubles.
4) You know about motors and how to do a Quality Check before delivery.
- Don’t get excited and take the new bike straight home, do a through check on everything.. take a consultant.
- Common stuffs are radiator leakage, rust, damaged chain, fork! & related etc.
5) You are ready to DIY service.
- There are no service center who would take the pain to work on deltabox mounted engine – it’s a pain, and is against service center ethos, conditions apply – like if you can jerk them or get to speak to some pretentious Area managers - who would eventually mess things up.
6) You are ready to swap parts often and ready to get conned often.

Best Wishes on the pursuit.
I like the RTRFI too, especially since they are coming out with performance mods.
