    KP :I was looking more for 120/80/17.
    I have already tried the pirelli in 120/90/17 & it was a beauty in terms of overall performance but the 90 aspect ratio messed with new chain sprocket & hence had to change.
    so asking it at all anyone has fitted any of the michellin variant in the above mentioned size.

          so if one is planning to goto lets say LEH than which tyre would be the most suitable for rear.
          I know that amit had used ceat vertigo for his leh trip last year & it performed well.
          so is vertigo readily available & worth the money.I was very impressed by the short stint with pirelli but unfortunately it is not available with 80 aspect ratio here

                      • @Shivasanu - Thanks Buddy

                        @SID - i Bought a new Baby R1 recently, i booked it on 19th of march (Perfect Riders, Bangalore )and i got my Baby R1 by 29th of march. yeah within 10 days!!! THe sales guys told me that a new load was coming in that week and they gonna let me know about it.
                        i had gone there once the load has come and i selected mine (RED) from the 11 Bikes showcased in the Godown (6 Red, 1 Yellow, 4 White).
                        So i don't think there is a HUge waiting period for the Bike. may be the dealer has only opted for limited numbers of R15's in a load.
                        That may be the cause of the delay

                            • @ Shivanshu - HEy Sorry boss, that was a typo... Will update the pics soon.. waiting for the right Camera

                              Need Some more infos : please answer my questions:

                              1) Does the Tank pad of R15 which the Yamaha suplies serves it purpose?

                              2) Is there any specific cloth or Polish or Washing liquid that i should be using for the Baby R1?

                              3) I would like to change the Headlights to a devil eye one, does that tamper the warranty?

                              4) How much it will cost for a pair of devils eye headlight in bangalore?

                                Well, that's what I meant by my first comment at it. So far the Ceat Vertigo Sport 100/80 x 17 Tl seems to be my best bet. If there are more options in teh marked within a month from now we'd change our opinion.

                                It serves its job beautifully well. Buy one before the stocks clear up.
