    No updates so far coz I have been busy with a few other things. I have a few things in place to do right now and sometime next month, I'll start some serious engine mods on the R15. It feels like a moped in the stock trim.

        You get the point?? :D

          The father of the bike (designer) while speaking to the media said that the size of the Tyre does the job perfectly and the wider Tyre will disturb the performance of the bike

              9 months I am driving my baby r15.....
              Trully it is an amazing bike to drive....
              3 years I have driven Pulsar 150 but I am amazed with R15 performance....

              I get a mileage 30-35 but I am not worried because of its performace, Styling, braking, engine all are excellent....

              Horns are far enough for a sport model... we cant carry some blow horm to R15....
              Excellent tyres...
              Common guys you cannot put R15 in a center stand ... tht will look eek... side stand is better orelse we can buy the sports stand from yamaha.....

              Few things need to be improved are,
              1) rear styling
              2) performance kit to have increaded PS maybe 25 to 30
              3) Rear seat split type

              Nothing more than this is required....
              I already heard some performace kit is coming up for 60k.... but not sure with this news....

                    • i know i have entered late here but if asked about my opinion:

                      1. BETTER SERVICE
                      2. AVAILABILITY OF SPARE
                      3. REAR TYRE HUGGER
                      4. BETTER SLEEK TAIL LAMP AREA LIKE 125
                      5. split seat like 125

                      ok, i know i will never get it......
