      @ Atin - What do you expect man.. Yamaha knows that in the absence of any better bike in the category R15 is their cash cow and will continue to fetch them the moolah.. So to keep the spark burning thay are coming up with these silly kits!!!
      Once a manufacturer launches a competition to R15, it will come up with another bike or a better version of R15..or may be something else...

      So these kits are just peanuts thrown at us, who are busy speculating about powerful bikes making their way into indian roads

      PERSEVERE... failure is not an option!

        Lolz... So if they bring the moped-15 then we have a problem, if they dont give us a kit then we have a problem, and now if they give us a kit, then we have a problem.

        Peanuts or not, for now I am happy for two reasons
        1) Yamaha adding to the scene
        2) Finally I can add some life to the R15...

        I appreciate this move...!
        Provided,
        1) This is a 'racing kit' made available to people at large
        2) This is fairly priced! and doesnt void warranty/road legal state!

          Hello Techie Marketing man, I prefer your poetic language than this systematic response!

          Just joking.

            Lolz Last night I had to spend some moolah on the R15, to get some fibre parts and stuff... thanks to someone who vandalised it!
            Only to crash it today! have a broken nose and some more kharcha!
            No poems for a while now

            - One Left RVM (No clue)
            - One Left Tail Body (480 odd Rs)
            - One Grab Rail! (no Clue)

            Damn! Now I think I had these wavy brakes and stuff, then maybe I would have crashed harder , oh wait If I had that exhaust, maybe I would have not crashed at all! Phew....!

            Whatever it is, are these 'even' coming to the masses? and how about Yamaha capitalizing on this 'Hype' and showing us some dyno comparison charts!

            • I have noticed that right now, it is a great time to be a poser in India. All bike manufacturers seems to be geared up to satisfy this segment. As for the performance bikes, they always seem to be in the pipeline. Maybe all that performance parts weights down the bikes so much that they take a lot of time coming from the factory to the showroom.
              Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

                Oh! I am so sorry, I touched a raw nerve there. How did you break your nose wearing a full mask helmet! And pain brings the best creativity in us all. That and mushrooms!

                Yamaha will get us that I am sure, dyno graphs and all...

                  Yeah I realized that I am kinda writing my creative crash log

                  (I still have a gut feel that these wont be road legal!)

                    OT :
                    So you are gonna recite the crash as a sonnet too ???
                    BTW nice poetry, the prev one.

                    @ mods: Pls don't delete this. I'll edit it soon and add something to make it non-OT !!

                          • Race Kit for R15.. Nice. From the Video it looks like Yamaha is Seriously looking at making them available in India.

                            Even if the warranty might/might not be an issue.. would certainly be better is its Road Legal.
