U cant hit the actual speed tht the present ones are giving arnd 130 mark day in and day out in our roads...

From a racing perspective yes remapping matters a lot but on daily use i dnt think you guys shud be much bothered abt tht... I wud be more concerned abt the accessories availability time etc... Coz its been real late from the time the bikes are out

the difference that there is ...comes what the R15 is used for personally. cos i dont use it for regular or daily commuting..saturday eves n sunday mornings are the times it goes out for a spin..n talking about the speed part..130kmph is realativley easy to touch in those times...over 140 is what im asking the 22BHP of power for. so i hope u understand...as time passes by slowly but surley the R15 owners will become desperate for those +5 ponies

well thts bad man... i suggest you take it to panache motros on old madras road and check with them if they could do a paint touch up or something its difficult to tell as i havent seen the scratch could you post a pic wud be great though... But for the solution is say go there and have them take a look...

cheers

Hey vikas

Don't run to panache .. you'll end up with more scratches .. the place is under renovation and is now completely broken down.

ppl .. a ECU remap for those 22 ponies will make the bike really difficult to ride in the city as the power band will be made narrower and you'll have to keep the engine boiling just to get off your mark. Very bad in the city.

Do I still want it? .. OBVIOUSLY YES.

Second largest selling in what?Performance segment?

R-1-5 sells around 3000-4000 units per month.Yamaha sold 14300 units last month of the total 6lakh units(Only Motorcycles) sold last month.

Yes, MG its the 150 cc class. heard R15 has pushed the overall sales of Yamaha Motorcycle and its hard to doubt the news.

R-series · 09-24-2008, 06:39 PM

i came to know they were expecting to sell over 20,000units of the R 15 before end of 2008 but the way they are going..they are already ahead of thier target.

and on the same basis when quested about the sales of FZ16 the reply was a confident 30000units by the end of 2008...
let se if FZ can out perform in sales like the R15
