Default should i sell my ZMA for R15....?

Hi Guys,
My Zma, Red, has done only 7k kms since last 4yrs...still in peak performance and running on Agip oil...returning an average of 40kmpl.

I have had some stunning runs on this bike and superb handling on Highways.

Will I be let down if I go for R15. Has anybody switched from Zma to R15 ..?

Your thoughts will be much appreciated.

I switched from RTR to R15 and it seemed boring for the Acceleration bit...
However the R15 kicks every bikes rear in terms on its handling....

What are you planning to do with the upgrade? Touring or something?
40KMPL on the ZiMA is good!

You want to buy that ZMA, dont you
A well maintained 40KMPL-ZMA is hard to find

This is nice...I heard of someone who recently sold off his R15 for a ZMA! Now the reverse...first of all, I would like to ask you, why are you thinking of selling off your ZMA when it has only done 7K kms.&is not giving you any problems too?
Secondly, what is it about the R15 that excites you so much?
I don't see much of a difference in the performance worthy of selling off your ZMA. Mileage also similar.
Handling&looks are for sure better, but at the cost of losing out on city ergo friendliness&pillion comfort (even ladies can sit sideways very comfortably on ZMA)
Latest technology is there in R15, but trust me, I never felt the difference on a highway between the 2 bikes. At high altitudes yes, fuel injection will help the R15 not to sputter like the ZMA, but I don't think you are buying the bike to take it to Ladakh immediately!
According to me you are a city commuter like most of us&tour once in a while. Unless you just feel like having a change since you are using the same bike since 4 years, I say use your ZMA for a good 50K kms.before thinking of any other bike!
