    Pheew!!! Are you more concerned for your glares or for your face during a crash. Your choice, we can only put our point.

    • getting delivery of limited edition this weekend

      Hi All,

      New to xbhp, however not new to bikes....in the past i had owned rx100, shogun and a pulsar 180.....from last 4 years i have been using my car and once in a while my wife's scooty to ensure that i don't forget riding . with the experience i had from pulsar 180 (the worst gear shifts i have ever experienced) i decided not to ride for couple of years and may be wait for a decent machine and i think 50% of that wait was over when i saw the r15 however i was not too thrilled because of its rear portion, and yes the wait was over the moment i saw version 2.0 on road last september....decided to buy with 2012 registration. Getting the delivery of limited edition (white & red) this weekend.

      In the end i would like to thank all who contributed in this thread and helped me to decide to go ahead with the purchase

      Cheers,
      Binesh

                        The price on ebay includes shipping n everything....only Indian customs held it n made me pay another 900 as they felt it wad underpriced(it actualls costs 16k..won it on auction).It was between this n an AGV dreamtime(rossi).....the rossi helmet was for 4 or 5k tho if ur interested

                          Made the payment today, on road price in Bangalore - 1,30,560/-
                          sorry guys..edit....the above price is for fire red limited edition, the racing red & white color scheme on road price in Banglore is 1k more....1,31,700/-. It was the first limited edition...so all the confusion.

                            Didn't get the part in bold, the AGV is it with you ? Or do I have to order it ?

                            • All right, a friend of mine is looking forward to buy an R15 v2.0 after trading off his P220 dtsi.

                              I am looking for an unbiased opinion on things where he might feel disappointed and things where he might feel happy in terms of usability.

                              Improvements I can assume are:
                              Handling,
                              Braking,
                              Engine smoothness,
                              One additional gear

                              Disappointments I presume are:
                              Comparatively lower low end torque,
                              Lesser acceleration,
                              Riding stance,
                              Complaint from pillion,
                              Availability of spare parts,
                              Price of spare parts,
                              Higher maintainance charges.

                              I would really appreciate if you guys can help me with your inputs.

                              Thanks in advance.

                                The maintenance is high, but the quality of parts is way better and it lasts longer
