I'll not sell my 220.Will be keeping both if i get a R15.
R15 doesn't feel as raw or powerful but it does give you something which you miss on a 220.

Can you shed some light on pros and cons of a R15 over 220 since you have ridden it both for quite a distance??

secondly, what are you doing looking at your readings panel when cornering ?

One time i was riding with 1 bar fuel when after few minutes i saw the F flashing. It had gone from two to one just a while back so i was sure something's amiss. Then after riding for a few km it again went back to one bar. Then it struck me that it must have gone to F during cornering and remained there for a few km (i think its 5km before the F goes off after being triggered). Later, in the interest of science, i risked life and limb to see if the fuel reading actually goes down by one bar or not during cornering. My effort resulted in a fundamental breakthrough in our understanding how the reading on the 6 segment fuel read-out on the R15 is affected by the lean angle of the bike. History was made.

Yes , R15 doesnt feel powerful as 220, but it has weight advantage . But it does wonders in the segment. You get better brakes , better handling , better engine , better technology , similar top speed , better looks etc.
But you will miss the comfortable seating position, the super duper head light, the fair spare parts pricing etc.
These are my findings regarding the two bikes.
Have used P220 for nearly 40k kms and R15 is nearing 25K

yes that happens in my bike too...but irrespective of me cornering a lot or not at all...i have just assumed that in the interest of riders not under-estimating the amount of fuel present in their tank, yamaha has left a good deal of margin at the transition points (from one bar to the next lower one) and so whenever the ride isn't so linear (that is, is not with least disturbances, such as stop/very-slow and go moments happening often, or very disturbing road such as with loads of speedbreakers, etc) it seems the bars keep on going up and down for a bunch of kms until it actually settles at the lower one...

care to enlighten us mere mortals with your discovery please ?

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

on the note of R15 feeling powerful enough or not, granted i have not ridden the pulsar 220 or the 200NS, i find R15 v2 plenty powerful in cities or not-so-empty highways from the lowest RPMs itself...if that's not enough, that massive pull that gears=3,4,5 yield post RPM=5000/6000 is amazing and should make everyone uber happy (while remembering that it's actually a beginner level sportbike and not a 600 or a 1000)..plus the fact that there aren't any uncomfortable or unnatural vibes at high RPMs (in gear 4,5,6) and high speeds, on top of the solid and sharp handling and stability.

Sir, it appears as though you are casting aspersions on my discovery. I would be lying if i were to say that i am not slightly offended by it.

To allay any doubts you may have regarding the veracity of my claims i would like to inform you that my experiment was performed under controlled conditions where the ride can safely be assumed to be 'linear'.
Here 'Linear' being taken to mean a ride having least disturbances, no 'stop/very-slow and go moments' happening often, or 'very disturbing' road with speed-breakers. Also please note that my experiment was performed when the bars were already 'well settled'.

okay i cant say if you being serious or just kidding. :\

but anyway, no i wasn't casting aspersions on your discovery...i was just reporting my observation of the conditions when i have often seen the fuel bars going up and down.

now will you kindly declare your discovery ? ;-)

I thought this should be a much better place to ask this question since many P220 riders have moved on to R15.I've got my answer.

Yes.As Ivin mentioned,better handling and better engine.P220's engine makes weird noise when it got heat up.Say after you ride it for 30-40 kms continously.

I was stunned to see that ,without a pillion ,I ripped hard the r15 And the feel of power was even lower than p180 And a little bit higher than 150... I was shocked to notice the difference of 6.5 bhp by that amount..it was like the same difference between a splendor and a hunk. ..thank God I didn't brought a r15 3months ago ( even I was sitting with 1.25 lacs in a Yamaha showroom) ,ymaha should seriously make 300cc r15 ,it is full discrimination with the machine providing it such a crappy power engine.although for my little brother,it was the dream bike.hehehe, I will be using it to get new girls...but to feel raw power ,it is not the bike.

200cc sized 23.5 bump of raw power..!!

First thing, please create a signature of the above highlighted line. its really annoying to read it in every post thinking its related to the post. just like every other guy has a signature.

secondly, they way you gave an entry to this thread and told few things was obviously gonna attract few negative vibes. i am not being judgmental but thats how it looked.
this is what i understood: 1. you own a P200NS and are happy with it thinking its RAW power.
2. you got a R15 for your cousin. and you will be using it to get "GIRLS". i wonder when did r15 become a pimp. as far as i have seen many girls really dont give a crap about what bike n al.
3. You are a very amature rider. you just "ripped" the new bike without thinking about its life in longer term. There were guys like you who did what they were not suppoed to do during runn-in and later came with complaints and thus telling the bike was not good.
4. every bike has its defined power. be it 10bhp or 17bhp or 23bhp. if i ride a powerful bike first and then a lesser powered bike later i will by all means feel that the 2nd bike is less powered. but you making it so obvious and ranting about it was very kiddish.
5. a 300cc r15 will not be called as r15. and "its not a crappy power engine". this bike is used by Pro racers on track for national championships. if they read this they will Laugh their ass out.

there are many guys in xbhp who are sentimental about their bikes. you better start being little subtle about your negative views. try not to sound annoying but rather tel them in a mature way.

Recently i read an article about a rider who owned CBR250r, Ninja250r and KTM200Duke. i would suggest you read about his article and you will know what i am saying.
Hint: its not there is xbhp forum its in team bhp. if it is there in xbhp then someone please let me know.

And everyone knows NS is powerful than r15 and we didnt ask for comparison here in ownership thread.. We know what we want and if you think its crap rather discuss in your thread and stop showing off here... Sorry for being rude

sid you need to chillax.

dont take it so hard on you.

And buddy the rear disc is producing noise( slightly) ,is that normal or should I go to svc. ..?

My twin Girlfriends- > 200cc sized 23.5 bump of raw power and 150cc blue edition fairing style v2..!!

you need to study you manual first and foremost. tel it to your cousin also. and also go through the entire thread.

Hint again: there is a search option above this thread. use it.

I also have another question to ask, how much fuel does each bar represent. I think there are 6 bars when the fuel is full, does this mean each represents approximately 2 litres of fuel?

the digital fuel thing is a joke in many bikes now. its there just to let you know that there is certain amount of fuel left rather than telling how much. dont follow it strictly. cant really say how much each bar says. just keep in mind that when the "F" shows up you will need to refill asap. or else your fuel injector will go kaput if you keep riding with less fuel.

Guys, I ride a P220 at present.P220 definitely has more power than R15 but i'm missing something which P220 can't give (P220 riders can understand this).
I'm thinking of getting a used R15.Would it be a good move ??

Sent from my GT-S6802 using xBhp Connect mobile app

i guess you got your answer

the first thing you will enjoy are the corners,corners,corners and more corners

and to all new riders please read most pages of the thread. use the search option at the top of this thread, a humble request.

to all riders moving to r15 from any other bike be it splendor or even ktm or pulsar, please dont B**** about r15

you can do that when you create a separate thread for it.

To say one thing to you bro.. This thread has loads of information and some prople who really love this bike..
If somebody comes and says anything.. Like that person has done.. It makes the thread look like a waste land.. Better ignore these people and their replies.. And help those who really need it..
I hope you be a regular here.. We noobs need you

really..
