          and R1 and R6 again its not just about the price R6 is more practical bike for indian roads then R1, infact any 600 CC bike for that instance



          If i am not wrong isn't R6 and FZ1 releasing in April '09
          True about the poser diversion Mithun.. last time I was in BW, there were few R15 owners trading in their bikes for the FZ. It's a clear trend I believe.

          And yeah 600s are more practical, but the R6 isn't

          And one more thing, if you have noticed too many R15 getting involved with accident. Last saturday i saw one which had a very bad fall which had just done 900+ kms the forks were almost gone
          In BW there was a completely stripped down R15, (down to the Deltabox), which had chassis bend (!!) and full bodywork replacement. Can't believe a crash where the Deltabox chassis/frame itself can bend.

                        • GUYS HAD BEEN FOR A ACCESSORY PURCHASE SPREE

                          this is wht i got below.... Place Orion Motors


                          Items got :

                          Swing arm cover 2 pieces color titanium : Rs 600

                          Steering center cap color titanium : Rs 300

                          Bar end caps color titanium : Rs 550

                          I cund tfind the brake and clutch levers in titanium altough they had in blue and gold, smae goes for the brake fluid cap.

                          Cudnt get hold of tank pads as it ran outta stock...





















                          I must say initially i felt they were way too much for they seem like but the quality is top notch guys just awesome.

                          Infact after having then on it gives u a sense of authenticity on the bike

                          Cudnt get the levers and the tank hopefully they get it soon

                          Hope you all likes the write up

                          • hi bikers,
                            this question is from R15 users. as most of you are; though I find R15 really exciting but some apprehensions are there in my mind regarding it.

                            does it feel light on STABILITY when you are overtaking some truck or fast car doming from opposite road (where there are no proper lane division)

                            the wait of the bike is some 130kgs. and so I think that this machine maybe not as stable as biggies like zma and others.

                            please tell me about your riding experiences regarding stability of the machine.
