  • ^^ the R15 has better feedback, but the ninja has a stronger bite on the brake. If not going above 60, i would pick the R15 for the flickability. But then the raw power of the ninja would be appreciated on the up-hill sections!

    • guys this comparison between r15 and n250 can be endlessly debated, when it comes to city roads i feel it boils down to one thing the " rider " and how ruthlessly he can cut loose on the bike he is sitting. i had a sort of u can say .. an unfortunate sighting at chennai recently where an R1 was struggling to catch up with r15 on anna salai on a sunday afternoon.

              I have been to anna salai in chennai..

              If the rider on a 1000cc is sane and rides with respect, he will always be lagging behind a smaller cc motorcycle on city streets like anna salai. You are just risking way too much if speeding through city traffic. Most of the riders will not bite the bait.
              Thumbs up to the R1 rider.

                Gross OT--

                A (____) used to overtake me everytime(I wasn't riding beyond my limit or racing, i was going as fast as I could keeping maximum safety with maximum safety margin) in town on his CD-Deluxe and with him riding a P-150 nowadays, he sheepishly makes way as he has fell down multiple times zig-zagging and even broken his ankle when he had a close-up moment with a rickshaw.

                      its not really the rider, its the point that im trying to make. A R15 will be more flickable in traffic than a ninja.

                      You get heavy traffic and both bikes are equally matched, but the R15 will be faster on better handling, so the rider will take more risks easily.

                      Also the price tag of the expensive bike ( either R1 or ninja ) would play on the back of a person's mind before indulging in such shenhanigans.

                            Cold Tire Pressure :

                            Front - 28psi and Rear - 32 psi

                            This information is also available for reference on the left side of the swingarm along with tire size info etc.

                            • I prefer 36 psi front and 42/43 psi rear, it's the best I found.

                                Is it ok to fill in the tyres to whatever pressure we like?? I thought that was a big no-no.
