    • I vote for fz16

      Yeah i do agree that R15 is indeed groundbreaking but i don't think so it breaks any other ground then a FI engine and cooling system. But have a look at FZ16 its a streetfighter and i love the sight of it. R15 may have competition from Karizma, P220 but not the FZ, its the Undoubted King of what is call the musclebike.
      Thanks !!

        U didn't mention Handling bro.You got to ride it to actually believe it.It makes a believer out of you as just why certain machines are way better than others.
        No argument here.Just a thought as i have rode almost all bikes (excluding the 100 cc ) out there for a minimum of 35 kms

        • R15 al d way

          well my choice is Yamaha R15...... still need reasons ???
          when i'm cruising at about the speed of 70kmph and another bike pass me by, nothing feel good then shifting into a lower gear, take it to 10,000 rpm, then change gears like a pro rider just to pass that guy on that bike.
          I don't own one but one of my close friend has, so i get to ride it very often. the feel of getting it on top rpm is just so different from any other bike, it roars like a lamborghini when you do that. Another thing is that when you are in 5th gear, at 9000 rpm, when you change it to final gear, you can feel that the power is still there to be unleashed.

                  • @Mods: How long do we keep this voting open?

                    IMHO it should have a timeline for closure, or we'll keep voting and voting till the end of 2009 !

                      • R15

                        the long roads ... different terrain ... changing climate ... challenging obstacles ... no street light roads ... the r15 puts all of them in a positive attitude! i rode a R15 from ahmedabad to manali... no problem at all! except for the bad back ache! i assure you the R15 wins the indian bike category!

                              I'm surprised you had a back ache! Thats what I expected when I toured on it, but I had no problems whatsoever
