    2)while the widest and softest compound tires on the Pulsar 220.
    -Really?

    3)if you are racing in city traffic, dude believe me Karizma ZMR can be way to excellent with the superior balance it maintains.

    -Racing in city traffic? ZMR has handling advantage over R15?

    4)it(R15) would surely deliver a mileage of 30-35, whereas ZMR Fi technology helps the bike to use the last available drop of fuel

    -R15 delivers the least mileage according to him? Less than the P220?(according to his article) And ZMR has superior technology with FI? Does this guy even know R15 is fuel injected?

    5)the light assembly on Karizma ZMR is quite weak which may solve the purpose in city but taking it on highway cause visibility issues, replace the whole unit with 12000k double point HID and they work great.

    -What the heck? IS he one of those guys who thinks higher HID color temperature means better illumination? Maybe he can see the road better in 12000k purple illumination!


    And these are just a few, that entire article is one big joke! Pity on those who might get fooled by that review...and this portal calls itself "India's No. 1 Bike Magazine"! :PROFL ...
    very true...

    I hope Deepak Raj of ********** would look into this matter as the article is completely misleading


    The Guys a DOUCHEBAG !!! dhakkan too .. sala ZMR 22 ka Milage dane ke leyea roti hai .. baat karta hai .. Kaccha Chaba Jayaga R15 .. zmr ko .. :P : Dumdum talking about Balance .. RIKSHAW KA HANDLE LAGTA HAI !!!!!

        IMO Reasons are as follows:
        1. The rider is not dressed in Yamaha wear.
        2. The number plate has nos.written in black-which means privately owned vehicle.
        3. There is a yawning gap near the tail lamp cover-what is that for?
        4. The tyre hugger&extra stuff is too poorly designed for Yamaha standards!
        5. The rear tyre looks too wide, maybe thats why he has changed the alloys?
        Oh btw-that rear mudguard looks like an FZ 16's!

        @Vaibhav Saigal: You should have stopped this guy right there&asked him!
        1. The rider is dressed in the attire that all yamaha test riders wear here( black jacket n silver helmet are the most visible ).
        2. the no. plate, as i tld b4, had tc written on it which suggests that it ws nt a personal bike......
        n sry , couldn't stop him as i ws getting late .......

          Hmm, very much possible-see my last post where someone from the company confirmed it. This may/may not be the final version, but R15 is going to be updated for 2011&we all know very well that the tail is the only part to be worked upon!

              He also didn't have any concrete ideas of what the new one would look like. But what he thinks (similar to my assumption) is that the chassis will remain unchanged. Hence, it should mostly be backward compatible.

                        Still don;t understand ...

                        the number plate should be YELLOW with black writings ...for any Test vechicles as of i know...

                        only private vechicles will have White board ....

                        does anyone agree here ...

                          You have a point, but I have seen many snaps of bikes/cars being test ridden on the roads in BIKE and CAR magazines that had white boards, just like the ones we use. Maybe they have temporary registration on them. Not necessary that they have to use the yellow ones..
                          D'oh!

                            I was noticing that nobody responded to your problem I guess the new R15 pics have gotten everyone too excited

                            You gotta be more specific about the problem. It could be:
                            1. The chain is too tight or too loose.
                            2. There are minute stones stuck inside the disc pads, causing a screeching sound.
                            3. Loose nuts on the silencer and exhaust assembly.
                            4. Pixies.

                            Take it to the SVC for the first 3... Harry potter for the 4th :P
                            D'oh!

                              the number should be red with white lettering.
                              but any company owned test vehicle will have "TC" written on it.

                              good catch if its really a new yam bike and not a modified one lol
