Thread: Yamaha YZF-R15 version 2.0

Guys, I know the tank-pad has been removed from the latest lot of R15 LE white but are the golden Yamaha logos and the '50th Anniversary Edition' stickers still there?

Except Tank pad, rest all you mentioned are there..

It is 340km on ODO, Bike is doing really great.

Maintaining her under 5k RPM is so boring.
Can't hold till I can take my bike to the limits.

Thanks mate, will be careful about it. My bro in law has Limited edition Maroon R15 V1. He won't be riding it often now (My sis hates the extreme seating ), so may be I'll steal the stead from him. Also, I am looking for some XBHP member who is selling his baby R1 expecting that he would have been a responsible owner.

Guys i have put my bike on sale. If any one requires it please let me know or contact. Its black R15 2.0 run just 1200kms. April registration with al papers clear.

The reason for selling is that my sister wants a dio & i don't have enough sources to buy, so want to sell it. I m from mumbai.

Why not finance the DIO and keep the R15...

The thing is that she is first of all not comfortable sitting on the R15. So the problem is i can't drop her or pick her up. She doesnt call me anymore as she finds it uncomfortable. And secondly she want to learn a motoscooter , so i though i can also use it along with her, as i already have a car. But thanks for the suggestion, i will surely look into it. Let me see about the EMi and all.
If i m not getting a good price for the bike i aint gonna sell it. I would try for someother option. THanks for your help bro.

Ok good.

Now while you check for financing -

1) Always go for scheduled bank as the interest rate is very less. Be it Honda or Yamaha provided finance says that their interest rate is 13% is utter bullshit. Come home and then calculate the interest rate based on the EMI, Downpayment and overall loan amount and you would be surprised to see it around 25 to 30%. Would advice you Bank of India since SBI rates are 18% flat for two wheeler. The BOI Sion branch would definitely help you out as it is one of the oldest branch there.

2) Since the loan would be from BOI (If incase) there a minimum value like 5% is required as downpayment, the interest rate would be 12.25(recheck in your branch). It is not like other banks where you would require 20 or 30% downpayment for the loan.

3) You can finish the loan the next day you take it if you win a lottery of get cash from a legal source.

4) The term of loan you decide along with installment date as per your convenience.

This is one side of your scenario.

There is a way of sitting on the bike, ensure you sis knows it well. She can obviously grip your shoulders by her hands...

While sitting on the seat the left leg should be put on the rear left pillion foot rest and then upwards and then swung the other leg over... Do not try to sit on the pillion directly swinging over your right leg first when the left leg is on the ground, it might bring a severe catch to her back.

She can grip the tank when riding, if she is not okay with it then she can always do the other procedure which is -
You can wear her's or an empty sack when dropping her to college as she can hold on to the hook or shoulder straps of the sack just because our bikes do not come with grab rails. I had a friend's Ninja for a week or so, me and my friend had been for a small outskirt ride, she was holding the sack straps as it also doesn't have any grab rails to hold on.

Please think about it again as there is a way out.
