          • Just pick up "Midnight Black" and ridden 60kms, here is my experience -

            1. Bike control and wheelbase is awesome - (Iam already the owner of whole pulsar family except the 180)

            2. Cornering is awesome.

            3. Roadgrip is so good.

            4. Felt a little bit of stress in wrist due to the sporty sitting position but , managed to quickly fixup myself on a better postition.

            5. Didn't push the throttle as its a new bike..

            6. But what I felt is damn smooth and awesome experience.

            Some pics are here...

              congratulations on your mean machine buddy,..did you have a karizma before?,..how do you feel the switch from a zma to a R15 is , that too after extensive riding on a Zma, but probably need to ask you this after you are able to open her up after maybe the 2nd service!
              There is a thin line between adventure and madness,...God must have made me myopic for a reason!!!

                    Zma gave me pleasant riding experience and I put zma on commuter series not on racing series.
                    Both are good, zma can't compete the sporty look and riding posture of R15, whereas , in terms of city riding/touring xma give better feel of comfort. The low gear torque is very awesome in zma as compared to R15, but after getting on track R15 Hold the "THRONE".

                    R15 is not comparable to "Apache160/180" " "P220" "ZMA" in terms of track racing due to its cornering/inclination and extremely awesome track performance

                      For tires, i would recommend the 130/70 IRC because the sidewall height on the stock tires is 80mm, for 130/70 IRC it is 91mm and for the 120/90 Zapper it is 108mm.
                      Both the tires'(the IRC and the zapper) sidewall height is much more than the stock R15 tire but since there is no other option, IRC will be better cos its little bit closer to the stock tire in terms of sidewall height.
                      Thank you Driftknight.. that was a pretty good information.. will follow your instruction... thanks again...

                          • I use bike as..
                            1- daily commuter!
                            2- some showoff
                            3- weekly or quarter monthly touring

                            1 - looks!!
                            2- Performance..in every bit of machine
                            3- Mileage [ 35+kmpl atleast ]
                            4- sumthing diffrent frm crowd..

                              *awsome pikup..whn sumone swings the throttle at lowers gears the expression is.. oh my god!
                              Its revving like hell..
                              *gr8 juicy mill with an awsome 45+kmpl mileage [ conditions applied..kripya insaaniyat se drive kare ]
                              *though commuter type body styling but orange colour pumps up the adernaline..
                              *good top whack of 125+
                              *tourer?? Well can be a gud one for short highways!
                              *gr8 handling and braking on city roads..one feel like he is riding a hercules ranger zigzag zigzag and ur out of traffic :P
                              But-
                              *it acts as a body massage vibrator at some definite rpm range..
                              *not SO Comfortable even for long routes..
                              *best opted for city riding and daily commuting..
                              *not so grippy
                              *lacks confidence on top whack

                              2- yamaha Fazer - another milestone!
                              *100/100 for looks [ jhakkas item hai :P]
                              *real lord of street [whn one drives a fazer he used to sing mud mud ke na dekh mud mud ke]

                              *tourer..hai ji..ghoomte raho!
                              *very light
                              But
                              *lacks that punch after 50kmph it simply refuses to reach 100 after 80 [personal experience no offences to fazer owners]
                              *short gear ratios so definetly nt a tourer infact a city bike promoted with tourer tag!
                              So nt ma choice.!

                              I didnt included pulsars coz though they are gr8 bikes but too common and in the whole pulsar family i love ONLY P200 ..and cant go fr d same due to mileage restrictions!

                              Hunks,unicorns,cbz xtremes,gs150r etc are not performers they r commuter fr me so fellow owners of these bike plz give a humble srry!

                                Lol. Is that because of the mud flying in rains?
                                Anyways, good decision. You could have combined all your posts into one with spaces.

                                @Ansh a.k.a Razor: Congrats on the new black beauty!

                                @All: Just a doubt-if we old color owners end up breaking or side fairing, will we get the same old plain fairing or do we have to change over to this racing stickered ones?

                                @TnT: Gimme a call whenever you want, you can get my no.from the Hyderabad xBhpians contact details thread, or else PM me.
