Hi Xbhpians! I am Rohit Sapru from Pune, 29 yrs old, working in IT.
Been a lurker on this forum for some time now. Am a two-stroke lover, have owned Suzuki Shaolin in the past, currently own Yamaha RX100, dream of owning an RD350 someday!

Planning to buy a new four stroke now. Had narrowed down my options to R15, ZMA, ZMR. Did a 'test-sitting' of R15 at Yamaha Riders Pune, as nobody is giving test rides! Riding position appears to be a bit aggressive. I'm 5'11" and 90 kgs and I feel its a perfect bike for somebody smaller and slimmer. Jokes apart, I think the dealbreaker with R15 is my lack of fitness. I feel long term ownership of this wonderful motorcycle demands its rider to be fit, in order to cope up with things like back pain. With a heavy heart I told myself that this bike is not for me. Pillion comfort is also important to me.

Coming to ZMA/ZMR. To my knowledge no dealer in Pune is taking bookings for ZMR right now. They will take booking in April and bike would be delivered by Sep/Oct. However, the dealer in Chinchwad has told me over the phone that he is taking bookings and delivery time is 2-2.5 months and all colors are available. I plan to visit the shop this weekend and see the bike on display.

cheers
Rohit.
