1. If some one scratches ur tank, u can easily replace them. wont cost u a bomb

3. If the tank paint fades away, replace it with new one
When u replace the tank pannel, the bike again will look as good as new one
Makes sense. I never thought on these lines.

George :- Nice . But I still did not like the instrument cluster. Kinda agree abt the retro look of the tail lamp, but the screws could have been better placed.

May be BS type carb is the main reason for low mileage,NO CV carb why ?

to me personally yamaha research has gone right.since they want to capture the market primarily of bajaj and cartoon cbzzzzzzzz i think putting a 150cc engine is a nice decision.i think the pricing is also attractive.considering the adding cost of petrol and other headaches a 150 sounds feasible.i know u me dont think from this point of view but many others think from that way also.so there yamaha has struck nicely.
i would rather say that if i had to compromise between performance and beauty considering my age old options i would go for beauty.i still know that this bike goes above 60 and still it requires some more time than the guy on that 25th yr logo that passed me.but 90% of the time i am not racing.nor i am showing off.i am enjoying my every single ride.
this bike makes you feel that everytime you put the key inside and turn the ignition you feel that you have something different in the field of age old same same designs and cheapo mods.your bike looks good.and yes it goes above 60.

for those wanting to show off..this bike may not be for you.

my 2 p.
