            New red colour looked hot.



            But i personally liked the metallic yellow.

            Wow Good update their anthony, waise any news on performance parts that would highly appreciated. Colour job tho tik hai but real deal in on performance, as we all expect a few more horses will help to keep the power up at 120kmph till 145...

            after 120 the roll down becomes sluggish, if we get 2-3bhp pumped up say upto 20PS that will certainly help a lot.

                Not necessarily tappets. If tappets are loose/tight then the performance goes down for sure. If the bike is running good then tappets are good.
                You need to provide more details, just saying tic-tic wont make sense as there are many places which can make any kind of sound. Also mention any special thing that you notice which you do not see on other R15. Sarvajit's bike makes sound from brake pads due to overheating! Was surprising for us!
                Please mention from which part of the bike makes that sound. Front/back/Lower_Front/Left etc. Theres nothing that cannot be solved.

                  the sound is actually from the engine...i don't understand from where..but its the engine...also the radiator fan is getting on every 5 mins (coolant level is OK)...i'm scared folks

                            Do you own both the bikes right now? If yes, you can selectively use both of them. When you want to ride a good bike, ride R15. When you want to hear pleasnt sounds, lisen to RTR.
                            And God said, "Let there be light" and there was HID Kit. And God saw that the light was good;

                            • @ Archibaby- so basically a backstep is a better rearset+lever combo?

                              The wave disc looks cool, but how have they managed to get that in its stock caliper? The disc size looks bigger..... Were there bigger brackets? If yes, then it means new fork outer tubes!

                              EDIT: Ok, checked the video again, there seems to be a new mounting, with a longer bracket. So stock forks will do.....
