    just like the picture says...if u put u'r hands on the tank..then the slipping problem is solved...
    when u sat on the rear seat..u feels like u sat on an elephants head...

    check the pic....
    as the G2G had 4 ninjas....i had got a chance to be the pillion of ninja as well....from my experience....R15 V2.0 way much better than ninja in terms of pillion comfort....ninjas vibrations really make me tired

        its good yamaha release quality bikes for india but releasing the R125 version which had been most awaited for years would have been a great deal instead of upgrading the versions of a single model and trying to push it more !!!!!

        it is still more of a V-xion than a 'R'dna bike in design

        This is exactly what im talking abt R125 is a better design and is a bike ,compared to R15 why dont they release it !!!!!!!!!!! hush

          c'mon man don't kill the fun for prospective buyers. cbr itself is more vfr-ish inspired. To the untrained eyes these all doesn't matter, but for enthusiasts, one stop at google, one push at search button, one look at wiki... there drains all the cbr/R-concept blood that has been circulating and feeding the gray matter

              Due to the unacceptable waiting period of R15 (7 months to be specific) I am now more inclined towards CBR 250R.

              However, heard a lot of negative things like engine seize, poor finish of paint and plastic parts and unavailability of spare parts. I'd request the CBR 250R owners to please throw some lights on it. Any suggestion would be helpfull.

                      Buy from Kerala. Ride it to Bombay.
                      Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                      Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                            the other day when i was riding my 220,saw this bike from behind and thought it's a much bigger bike and realized it's the 2.0 only after after overtaking it and looking at it from front!it looks way better now than before but not sure about any significant difference in performance though
