Amazing stuff biker_boy! I don't think an R15 has done Leh before. I still remember, when we met (while me and DCS were coming back from Spiti), you were telling us that you really wanted to take your R15 to Leh, and here it is! Really great stuff.

Now, waiting eagerly for the day-by-day log and the pictures. Also do mention how the R15 behaved during this whole trip, and if you did face any problems with the machine (especially with that terribly low ground clearance).

Once again, kudos to you - for both doing Leh, and more so on an R15!

Finally...Finally...was wanting to know how our babe will behave up there now do share intimate details of your trip log

congrats....! great accomplishment... and on the R15...!

like everybody wanting to know how the bike..and both of you performed up there...

Great Biker boy... that pic is cool man waiting for the whole of travelogue along wit great pics....and R15 great man let us know about her as well

Finally an R15 gets Leh'ied!!!! Had always thot how the bike would handle it, and now ur log might just prove the same. If only the Japs look at this, they will know how sturdy their product manufacturing is!!!

P.S: Hopefully u faced no issues during and after the trip

IIRC, The R15 has as much ground clearance as the ZMA i.e. 160mm!

Ah, so you finally do it .. congrats!

R15... and Leh ?? Odd combo.. Let the logs and pics roll on dude...

Thanks guys, I must say this trip had been possible because of you guys. I really appreciate for the encouragement and support. At one time I was planning to take the trip in a Scorpio.

The Choice:

To begin with, I had bought a RE Thunderbird long back to do Leh and then I got the R15. Now I had two options, either to take the Thunderbird or the R15. The RE has already proved itself and is one of the best bikes to do Leh, but I felt like taking my R15, and finally I did.

Ground clearance:

I am haapy that I could complete this trip without a fall, although couple of times it was very near to one but I in the end I could manage it.
Finally regarding the ground clearance issue, I managed to do the entire trip without even a scratch to the bottom fairing.

The Performance:

As from day one, I am always amazed with the performace of this machine. No issues what so ever, the bike came to life with just a push of the thumb in all conditions. The real test being at Pang, where the temperature had fallen sub zero and Oxygen level had reduced to 9% from 21%. However, there was some loss in power due to the reduced oxygen levels.
No knocking or whatever, the engine had the same rhythm as it has here in Chandigarh. A twist of the throttle and I was clocking 110kmph upwards of pang at around 16000feet.

Problems Faced:

The only problem I faced was that two of the front fairing bolts got a bit loosened.

The rest of the log and pics shall follow soon

- Amit

Fantastic..an R15 to Leh with no issues faced is a really good feat..!!

Congrats Amit..

I was thinking in the morning that Amit should have been back by now and I should call him up and ask him about his trip to Leh and here he is.
anyways, good to see you back and congrats for being to the place where u always wanted to. also, u r perhaps the 1st R15er who got it to Leh, so unofficially be it, but you are the Hero for the Season.
Bring in the triplougue soon.

Congratulations biker boy

Congratulations Amit!
Bravo for being the 1st one to take the R15 to Leh!
I remember talking about this with you&I'm glad the ground clearance wasn't an issue.
How about the rear tyre? Did you get it changed or pulled on with the stock tyres?

Yamaha guys had already taken the r15 and fz 16 to leh for testing.
"rossiter's" also had told me the same info.

Santa
