            Amazing stuff!

            Kudos to you Amit! It sure requires great confidence, and love for the R15 to choose it over the RE for a trip to Leh..
            & i'm so glad the bike behaved well through the trip..
            How are both of you doing now?
            PS: Awaiting detailed trip log & some more pics..

            My views on the YZF-R15 V2.0: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/198...tml#post699240

            The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

              @Praful: I did not know that the ZMA's and the R15's ground clearance is the same - 160mm.

              @Biker_Boy: Fairing nuts getting loose ain't a problem at all man. In those kind of terrain, it is NOTHING. Kudos to you for taking the R15 to Leh. Now, bring on the text and the pictures. Quick!

                        Waiting for the pics and log. Did you manage the trip with stock tyres or did you put any aftermarket tyres?
