Firstly what bike have you been riding till now and why are you thinking of going for R15?
secondly, yes and no is the answer to your question, ofcourse it can be everyday bike but not for all, because the bike is not meant for all.
I have been riding 40kms everyday for office commute, this including half of heavy traffic and half highway. there are few times i get slight pain in the wrist and back(there will be horrible traffic in bangalore at times ). but not an issue for me. i even tour on the bike on weekends. the bike does come with some instructions to follow like seating posture n other stuffs.
now the question to u, will you be comfortable riding the bike for 70kms everyday? (70kms assuming 35kms is oneway ride) choose for yourself bro. any other things then you may ask.

hi all,

since the SVC could not detect the specific reasons behind my bike's overheating issue, i had replaced both the thermostat and the fan motor relay. since then, the overheating issue seems to have been solved as the overheating light did not come up any more and also the bike was not heating up that much. it was heating up occasionally, like in heavy traffic, but the fan was kicking in and it was cooling off...which was quite normal.

however, the overflow of the coolant through the drainage pipe has been there and, interestingly, it is evident only in the mornings. once i reach my office every morning which is around 5-6 KMs away, right after parking i see several drops of coolant flowing through the drainage pipe. and, it is not one or two drops, it is several drops every morning and there must be many drops while riding too. if this goes on, the entire amount of the coolant will overflow out of the reservoir...and, sooner or later, my bike will again start overheating.

could you please shed some light on this issue...i am getting quite depressed with this issue these days. please help.

regards.

Hi Ankit, the answer to your question is YES. It canbe your everyday office bike, but I guess, by office bike you mean just the travelling and not the thrashing and abusing thingy.

Since you are a biking enthu, it should and it will give you a reason to smile while going to office everyday. Its a fantastic machine mate. I don't own one, :'( but have ridden it for some time and I was clean bowled. Traffic, aahaa, its just another playground for R15. As pointed out earlier, it may give you a little back and wrist pain initially, but then as you munch miles, you will never want to get off the saddle.

Thanks Akash,
Thanks Asellus Borealis
and
Thanks Ron..
I was riding P220 until last year.
Then i shifted to Mumbai and had to sell my bike in Delhi...
I am currently driving Honda City.

now i am looking forward to buying r15.
i was keen on ktm until i rode it. Somehow it didnt' feel like a bike to me.
it feels like a 2 stroke scooter( my personal opinion: not to offend dukers :P)

then i rode ninja250 .. it was awesome.. and out of budget.
then i rode cbr.. somewhere i felt unsatisfied...

then i rode r15. ... felt super-satisfied with the ride quality...
just that..
I have booked fiery red. as there are very few fiery red. ..
lets see if it turns out to be everyday bike...
...
i can't drive honda city everyday to office there is lots of traffic and it takes more time... bike will take comparatively less time in reaching..

and Yaah Akash bro

i loved it, you never want to get off the saddle...
its fun in its own way.
and not everyday you ride fast or are trying to smoke other bikes(duke or others) but you just want to enjoy the fun that comes with riding.

..

NICE now that you have already booked it then there is no point in thinking of anything else but waiting for the bike

Thanks,

I went to service center, the mechanic said it would happen in rainy season because chain lube isn't oil... and there is nothing to worry about... although I'll buy chain lube and do it myself from now on...

Booked my LE White R15 today!

Daytona kit for the V2?

Hi guys, I have a query. Is the Daytona kit still available for the V2? I'm planning to go for the braking kit for my upcoming bike. Kindly share the info from the dealers. The dealer in my city has no idea regarding the same.

Dude when i bought my bike. The sales person told that the daytona kit is available.

Endurance checked with v2

Just curious to know has any one successfully completed or attempted a Saddlesore or a Bunburner with R15 v2 ??

as far as i know, NO. but there are plans for it are you planning for it?

yup but only after the rain stops ...as of now , will casually cruise across the roads to get a glance.
