    I'm afraid, do these SC guys exactly know how to re-fit it ?
    You do not have other option buddy. Anyhow, it had been a while with the launch of R15 so the SS guys are little more trained so do not worry.

    Nice. But that thing is priced over 200K.
    Sell off your R15, drop the idea of Ninja and 'target R1'

            by the way 6000k costing me Rs 3500.

                  Hey, I am also visiting the SS this week (or weekend) for my 1st servicing. But I will be going to Pearl Yamaha. So if you are interested we can hit the road together. PM me if you are interested.

                    halo guys,..Iv been riding around an Enticer for the past 6 years,..and the time has come finally to bid my dear yam adieu,..but of course i cannot think of anything other than a Yamaha,..so finally here it is I want an unbiased opinion from all u guys on the follwing points:-

                    1.How does the r15 fare in normal city riding ?
                    2.how does it fare in extended highway riding,..and is it very strenous on the back,wrists?
                    3.what are the common flaw/probs wid da bike?

                    i wud really apreciate ur replies....but no matter wat i am getting 1 anyway
                    There is a thin line between adventure and madness,...God must have made me myopic for a reason!!!

                        1.How does the r15 fare in normal city riding ?
                        - Excellent!

                        2.how does it fare in extended highway riding,..and is it very strenous on the back,wrists?
                        - Highways are awesome. Initial pain in the wrist (but only with high use of clutch in pathetic traffic conditions) but later all gone. I never felt anything on the back. I am 6 feet tall.

                        3.what are the common flaw/probs wid da bike?
                        - No 'flaw' as such. Requires 'little' more maintenance than others as its not a 'just another bike'. Spares are not readily available sometimes.

                        If you got the money buy this machine. Although its a personal opinion as many people think that R15 is not a value for money. So take a test ride and decide for yourself.

                          Since you have already decided to get the R15, I guess you'll be giving these answers to someone else a few weeks down the line!

                            Form my point of view,

                            1)It is OK for city riding,but don't expect gushing amount of torque.Then again since u rode an Enticer,I think the pickup is much2 better than that bike.
                            2)Since u usually ride an Enticer,which is a cruiser,u will find that riding the R15 for long period of time quite tiring at first.But if your adjust your seating position,it will get better.Also,the more you ride the bike the more you'll adjust yourself to the bike posture,but don't expect it will be as relaxing as riding the enticer.
                            3)I don't see any flaw except the thin rear tyre which you can change (I'm painting a bullseye on my head ).And I agree you will get people saying it's not value for money,you might as well get a pulsar 220,it is a poser bike etc,etc..

                            It's up to you really.

                                I should get it in 10-15 days (That reminds me I need to go to the dealer for giving some docs )
