Yes, you are right.

*HERE IS MY EXPERIENCE*
LOCATION-CHENNAI,YEAR-2010

I was in my third year and was the second guy to own R15 in my college.One of my senior has bought a white ZMR at the same time.
whenever we will meet in the canteen,he will waste no time to prove that he is a wise and I am a fool.
It was during the model exams (exam before the sem exam)we came out at the same time.We met again and he forced me to race with him and his real intention was to show college girls and other juniors.
We had a race, as per his wish and a race that i will never forget.
He was so pale,frustrated and so numb.He has never imagined that he will loose,that too so comprehensively from an OVER PRICED 150 cc bike.
Next day when I met him,his reaction was ''You have fitted the K nd N airfilter....Dont you know that it is illegal?''.

PS:I am not downgrading any bikes here. So please dont take it in different sense.

^^^ Hmmm.... I wonder what he will say about your Joeled R16 now... something akin to "You have fitted a 165cc block piston,.... Don't you know its weapon of mass distruction?"

To Quote,

"Yamaha has done a little more than Business with the R15"

The yamaha R15 is a PERFECT bike.It has taught me many things.The best part was that YAMAHA have never mentioned about top speeds in the ads.
May be the new R15 will be launched in jan of next year,may be it will come with higher displacement,ABS and fatter tire
but ORIGINAL will always remain ORIGINAL.

When I will become dad,and when my son will not get sleepy at night,I will go to him and will tell a bed time story.

My story will start like-''Son!! Once upon a time there used to be a R15.....

Awesome!!!

So did anyone get impressed by you???

@KIRTI
No one..
But I have made many enemies...Few days ago when I was coming back , I saw a bunch of idiots coming toward me very aggresively.

But I did not race again,instead I took a shortcut and came back home.

A Must watch for every R15 wala,
