    A wierd yammie problem....

    Hello to all xbhpians.

    Im writing this on behalf of my cousin who i tell you is one confused soul. To start off hes a yam buff and expects nothing less than it. Also performance plays a major role.

    He has recently completed 18 and his dad has given him 1L to buy himself a ride. So youll think 1l+yam buff is an recipe for the baby 1.... Well theres a twist. He even wants a rx100 so here are his options...
    1. Get a new fz+rx100.

    2. Get a used r15+rx100.

    3. Get a new r15+shut up.
    Well the main bike will be used for 5km city+15km highway daily. The rx for joy rides.

        WOW is it a combo offer or something like that.

        You are saying that he has just turned 18. Then i would suggest to buy only one bike & practice well on it. It would be better to get a R15 & shut up

        BTW what is yam buff??
        NOT BEEN THERE NOT DONE THAT

                  Tell him to get an new r15 and save money and get a RX after a few months....
                  by which time he would completely forget all about getting a new bike
                  Men who still dream of being a pilot or an astronaut are yet to ride a motorcycle.

                      Its Always better to buy a new R15, Its a Mini Rocket and proven its performance. For street rides if your Mr.18 is really crazy on RX then ask to look for a 5Speed.
                      He will have Thrills on both 4S & 2S Yam Machines.

                          3. Get a new r15+shut up.
                          or
                          4. Get a new FZ and use rest for riding gears.

                          1. Get a new fz+rx100.
                          2. Get a used r15+rx100.
                          Later stage sell FZ or R15 to maintain RX . (As someone said its a White Elephant)

                            My Vote would be to get an r15 and shut up..Simply because the bike is current and he'll have support from the company in terms of parts etc. RX parts are quite hard to come by these days.

                              my answer will be to buy a new R15.... learn about 2stroke bikes and then go for an rx....

                              well said yamaha trooper.... for YAM buffs it wouldn tmatter if the doctor
                              went to the duc all it matters is that the M1 is the best even if it looses
                              which it wont....
