Bought my new R15 last week.
Hey all, just recently purchased the sunset red R15 v2, i first ordered black and the dealer asked me to wait for a month, 2 days later he called me and said that there was a red one that arrived in the truck that day and was cancelled by the would be owner. So i decided to purchase that one.
I was always a performance guy, my first bike was the Apache 150 then came the RTR 180 and now the R15 v2. Compared to the RTR 180, i think that in a drag, both of them would be identical in terms of pickup, its only when the 6th gear comes on that the rtr wont be able to match else, they both would be neck and neck. But when it comes to handling the R15 is on another league, but one another area where they both match is in the braking. the RTR does have razor sharp brakes even with those pathetic tyres, my R15's brakes are in the break in period but so far i think its the same as the RTR, so really dont know more. Overall im pretty satisfied with the R15, only problems i find is the rear seat which makes pillion riding a huge pain and it also makes carrying a shoulder bag when riding a huuuge pain. Hope to find some solution to the problem soon enough. Here are the pics of the bike.. Did a bit of Photoshop to bring out the bright red.
I also thought of some color modification schemes as i think that the existing color combination when compared to the LE version has something missing.
Here are the pics of the same. Do give inputs on what would be the best.
Original pic
I added white stripes on the wheel instead of red
Colored the rear seat red along with the white stripes, got this idea from the white R6 that has the same red seat.
In this one I colored the tail and engine area with grey instead of white.
Heres another pic i modified to the same effect
Original
As you can see, the difference is just huge. I mean just look at the last two images, one of the original bike and that of the modified one in black. its a massive change.
Please do mention your opinions on the same. I was thinking about carrying it out since the white tail does not highlight that awesome upswept single line of the rear tail and i had saved some cash by not going for the LE model cuz i could make mine completely a UE (unique edition) with the saved cash and still have a lot left. When looked at from the side. And i do think the black adds a level of flair that is just too good. I think it would be mind blowing in person. Thoughts please.
