I would prefer a Yamaha RD 350 HT engine in a YZF R15 chassis!!

Yamaha's best Indian production bike according to me....
I guess it will have to be R-15 for me as it does not suffer from a identity crisis like most Indian yamahas. I agree that RD was awesome and all and me being a perverted cafe racer I do know all about it but I cannot fool myself with a Indian RD which was made by kommis who tried to put a straitjacket on it and turning it in to a pretty much indigenous, mutated and watered down version of the legendary "Racing Death". The rajdoot made some 30 - 27 bhp all in quest of better "fuel economy" while RDs elsewhere used to churn out 39 horses! The real RD was like a good rough sex while Indian version was like rough sex without the rough in it!!
When in doubt...... Gas it!

If it has to be an engine swap then its gonna be RD's Engine on the FZ! Leave the R15 aloneOriginally posted by jigar2speed View PostI would vote for this comment, i have been secretly hunting for this arrangement with my mechanic
kiddin... :P
I was never a RD fan somehow. I like the bikes with accuracy. RD was a lil away in that terms. For the same reason majority of the RDs found their place in drag races and less elsewhere.Fear is the Trigger!Comment

You do miss the RXZ, Crux buddy...Originally posted by Thunder View Post
In my opinion the vote goes to R15... runner up is RX100 and the third position goes to RD350...
I am really lazy(in writing) to give the explanations though...

r15 for sure. a bike is not all about performance. handling is vital . r15 combines both. last month i hit 142 on my mini "one".150 cc and 142kmph . unbelievable.superbikes are the biggest blunders on indian roads.Comment

As far as my knowledge goes, it sthe RX 100 that's been my favourite. Even now i see plenty of RX 100's on the roads. ( My dad's first bike was RX100).

Well arent you guys forgetting the FZ16. Its the bike that brought Yamaha on its feet. Yamaha would not be here or making profit if it wasnt for the FZ16. The R15 may be a great bike but company needs a bread and butter bike and that job is done by FZ16.Originally posted by Sarvajit View PostLast edited by freekoo; 02-12-2010, 10:28 PM.Comment

Anyday i would choose a 2 stroke over a 4 stroke.
According to me the best production bike was RX135 5S & RXZ. Next the RD350 HT But if only the 2 strokes are as reliable as the 4 strokes on the long run.
Hence my vote goes to R15.

I am curious to know what might be the reasons for a Yamaha 2stroker to be unreliable.Originally posted by rahul9985 View PostA lone amateur built the ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic...Comment
